Both would’ve cost about the same as Brown. I reckon the guys at the bottom of the top 17 (probably all middle forwards) would cost about the same as plenty of blokes who miss out.

That said, I reckon Evans is on a lot more than Vave or Matagi. Maybe $300k


Thats your opinion and guess. I just reckon there on more. When they signed they where at peak of careers.

I reckon Oates is just playing Boncos for more money. I don’t reckon he’ll leave
Edit - won’t stop merkins bashing the club though


If we do get Oates it will be on overs.

We then will lose some young promising juniors.

The cycle continues

Yes Semi the guy who left our club and no longer here.It was a good 4 seasons.
Back to drawing board .

I prefer we do a few things.

1- Not over spend on a guy like Oates.

2 - Develop some juniors. Look at Niaukore. If reports Tepai are on 500k+ are true then here is a kid who already looks as good.

3 -Stick with the same spine.

Oates would be overs. That is 100%. Know one leaves Brisbane for unders.

Lane wouldnt of been as no demand.

Jnr was also overs but in an area we needed.
No. Players stay in Brisbane for unders, especially compared to moving interstate. Why does another team have to be paying overs or unders? Why can't it be at market? Realistically the whole overs/unders shit a) can only really be determined after the player actually sees out his contract & b) is brought up by merkins making way too many assumptions in an uneven market

Exactly. What if Bennett re-signs Sua and tells Oates "I see you as a winger only, Sua Gillett Glenn and Fifita are my back rows" and so Oates says well f**k that I wanna play back row and leaves?

There's more than just money involved in most negotiations between player and club.

Is that what happened when the Panthers signed Tamou? Or Merrin? Or Maloney? Or Peachey? Or Whare?


Larry, 2 things. I was sitting at Buffalo Wild Wings when the idiot Browns threw away another #1 on Garrett. As soon as they did...........I loudly proclaimed.... Trubisky is next, even BEFORE the Bears moved on him.

Barkley is the best player in the draft. We blew it. Garrett WAS NOT the consensus pick. He was the CON CLEVELAND INTO DOING SOMETHIGN STUPID PICK.



You keep saying Garrett was playing on a bad foot. Says who? And if that was true, how do you know he isn' still f**kcked up? Garrett is a homosexual. He is biding his time to be raded. The guy NEVER wanted to play in Cleveland, and he still doesn't. How TF do you draft schidt like this..???



Dude, we DID NOT SWING FOR THE BLEACHERS on a QB. We took a guy who would have been on the board at 33,
