I fear the new brisbane franchise will just blow us out of the water with Mahoney.

Niukore i wouldn't go past 400k a year. If warriors are offering 500k plus a year we let him go unfortunately

The whole (unsigned beyond 2022) squad is about to extend. Mahoney and Marata we desperately want to keep which means we may have to pay overs and not make any new signings. They are in huge demand. More than the others.

Yes, my source is impeccable.
Guth and Mahoney are my targets.. As much as I like Marata, we have a plethora of backrowers to choose from. Whereas 1 and 9 are not our strong areas

I thought Rodwell played back row for us in his NRL appearance, yet some people have him as a middle forward.

Yeah that's great. Maybe we can use the saved 100k to top up Hipgrave

When things are reported inconsistently like this, assuming it's not bullshit, it's because contracts for young players are usually back ended, both because they player is expected to improve over the life of the contract, but also because probably every NRL club is full of back-ended contracts and bringing them back into parity requires sacrificing a year or two. Inertia and demand for results means when you bring in a $300k player (for example) at the last minute (e.g. in January) you can probably only give him $150k in the first year and maybe $250k in the second. The balance has to go into the final year of a three year contract. By the time you get to that year you are having to back-end new recruits in a similar way. The cycle of life continues.

The reports was 275k a season. Unsure how it went to 500k. 275k for someone who has never played NRL is a lot. Id like the NRL to step in here and make a bit of a scale where there are limits on this. Cap first and 2nd year at 200k perhaps. Atleast it gives clubs a chance to balance their salary cap on young guys.

Carr must be a dud, just a coaching job at the Leed Rhino’s. Imagine the big name clubs knocking down Murph and Kidwells doors???
Only 123 days to go.

What is overs? Marata is decent but I wouldn't break the bank for him. I am thinking he is worth around the 350k mark. 400k at Max.
