Rumoured Targets 3

[Caped Crusader]

Haha there is no way Randall is on $400k, even with our past retention record

$250k I'd believe

Heard he was on a heavily back ended contract with f**k all up front and huge dollars in 2017 so the 400 might be uncomfortably close to the truth. Apparently Hages thought he would be starting hooker quality by now

 

[Sydney Knight]

Maybe it averaged out at $250K a year?

Could have been $150k $200k then $400k

Even that is way to big a contract to someone who had played a handful of bench FG games at the time. Especially when Buhrer and Kostyjason seem to have signed for similar money.

 

[Spot On]

Seriously, there would have been some player managers who broke down and cried upon hearing the news that Hagan was given the boot.

 

[Bring it home Knights]

Any chance we can frog march Hagan out of the state? Let him be QLD's liability for a while.

Rumours that Bird has been released.

 

[Johns Magic]

Official - says he requested it

[Johns Magic]

Still doubt we get him but at least we can move on now if that's the case

 

[slotmachine]

bird not as dumb as he acts, he asked for a release because he is going to catalan dragons on a 5 year $2.7m dollar deal!

 

[Johns Magic]

Haha. Fk me that is a joke of a deal. 5 years, he will almost be 38 by the end of it.

 

[Burns]

Catalans have confirmed on their website.
I'm so happy we haven't signed Bird, we can focus on the longer term rebuild now.

You don't think signing Bird was good for rebuilding?

 

[Caped Crusader]

Thank god

 

[Glendale]

Whats the back up plan?

 

[macavity]

Bummer. 5 years for him? Sacre Bleu!

 

[Glendale]

He definitely just hit the jack pot in the lottery of life

 

[Johns Magic]

Whats the back up plan?

My guess Heighington becomes a bigger target

 

[Caped Crusader]

Apparently the Bird deal is 3 years playing + 2 years coaching

 

[Glendale]

My guess Heighington becomes a bigger target

Yep I'd be happy with throwing 'The Bird Funds' at the pursuit of DWZ or Lolohea, with enough money left over to get a cheap Heighington + 1 more prop coming into strengthen the middle.

Kane Evans. We lack impact.
