Just watched the highlights of new recruit 2nd rower Francis Manuleleua , same size and weight as Leniu ( 3cm taller than Spencer) similar body shape and only 20 yr old. He has the potential to develop into a good middle as he gets older

Sully seemed a big fan.



He was one of the schoolboy union prospects in NZ a few years back playing as a hard running inside centre for Kings College.

Apparently the Dragons offer for Hazelton is 450k. Surely that's a fair price and we should be matching it at least?

TBF though he’d be playing practically down the road from where he does now and wouldn’t have to move house or move away from family & friends, dunno if he’s got a partner or kids but he wouldn’t have to move them either. So whilst $450K might not sound like much for us to match it may have taken another $100K to get him up to Newcastle and POS might have felt that was too much.

I’m happy to back POS on this. He’s not going to get into bidding wars for players who he doesn’t think are worth it. He probably realises we’ll have to pay overs here and there for the right guys. The Dylan Brown one being an example. But a guy like Hazelton isn’t worth paying more than standard value for.
