Watched the Dolphins Documentary recently and a lot of interviews with Wayne. It seems that he's more focused on signing the right players than just any odd player to fill the roster. Adding Brandon Smith will add a lot of experience to our middles at least.

Well done CJ. Got to say I agree with him when he says he didn’t agree with Solly re our middles the other day.

AJ round 4-5 is exciting.

It's obvious that the roosters don't want Smith otherwise they wouldn't have signed Robson.

Hypothetically if Smith is on 850k this year at the roosters and returns mid season there would only be like 300-400k to pay out of his contract the rest of the year? We're keeping 2 top 30 spots available. One could be for Smith and the other could be for TPJ.

That is the exact type of player that Bennett loves. He takes pride in fixing these players and turning them into guns. It just seems like the type of player he would take a risk on.

He tried to take a risk on him at the dolphins but smith didn’t have the balls to tell Wayne that he was goin to the rorters and let Wayne find out about it via the media which didn’t go down well so is Wayne the type of bloke that forgives ?

Bennett spoke to lots of players while he was at the dolphins that said no and resigned or went to different clubs. From what I believe reading Bennett's book and watching him in documentaries he doesn't have the type of ego that will prevent him from signing players because they've said no to him in the past.

I also think the roosters are a much more attractive proposition than the dolphins. If you're getting big money offers for both clubs you're going to take the club that has been extremely successful in the past 10 years over a club that's got a lot of uncertainty.

He absolutely is. He cut a guy at the Broncos years ago for the guys own good and to teach him a lesson.
He then signed him at the Dragons years later. Can’t remember the player , I’m sure someone will but he may of been there when the dragons won the title
