Rumoured Targets 3

If he goes to Canberra (honestly they’re the only ones I could see offering that type of money) wondering if they’re keen to get him early if we could get someone like a Trey Mooney.

The club is insanely high on Trey Mooney and only this year fended off interest from Penrith and others to re-sign him. Dreams are free but you're not getting Trey Mooney

Get ready to learn Emre Guler, buddy

Cool , you can send him over while you blokes severely overpay Leo

Oh god, were going to end up with Lodge aren't we?

Door slammed shut for Lodge at Sydney club

The prop is still without a contract for 2025.

Yes. Absolutely we'll send you Guler to get Leo
The feeder system works!

If Canberra or anyone else wants to throw 850k at him then they're welcome to, as that is crazy. I imagine even Gus will have turned his nose up at that.

There are roughly 4 props in the game that are worth that money and are actual game-changers - and then a pretty reasonable dropoff to a whole bunch of guys that are a dime a dozen. I imagine it actually makes the decision for Sullivan and co a whole lot easier.

How can any club offer that much money to Leo? That’s crazy if true. Tapine would be on that sort of money and honestly, he’s twice the player. Even $600,000 would be making me feel a bit uncomfortable.

When you look at his output, are there any stats that stand out as elite?

Statically nothing stands out as elite especially not for $850k a year.
To put things into comparison Terrell May signed on for the tigers for $650k a year reportedly, they’re similar age and experience, this year May averaged more run metres, more 4 times as many offloads, twice as many tackle breaks, and less missed tackles.
Another guy who’s similar age is Moeaki Fotuaika from the titans who’s reportedly on $750k a year, Fotuaika has averaged over 115m per game every year for the past 6 years, Leo averaged 104m per game this year which was his best year.
No doubt alot of Leo’s contract value is based on potential and the fact he was abit of a late comer to league but as a knights fan I’ve seen us overpay for potential many times an its almost always not paid off

 

[Nuke]

Yeah, for us.

Some other clubs seem to find a way to realise that potential. It's not often we do.
I do wonder from time-to-time who or what it takes for us to become one of those clubs that can help a player realise his potential.

Going to trust my common sense and assume no one is actually offering him $900k, but anything even approaching $800k seems extremely generous/desperate based on what we've seen. He should be giving JFH a cut because simply having a somewhat similar playstyle has somehow convinced some people that Leo is (or soon will be) as good/valuable as him too.

I think being able to do a mean Haka alongside JFH has earned him atleast an extra 10% on to his contract value
