Like Dylan Brown???

At a fraction of the price.

At a fraction of the price.

He wouldn’t be a fraction of the price if he was s as good as Dylan Brown. If there’s a 22 year old in the game worth a million a year it’s him.

Yes he had a very good season on his contract year.

Well at 22 you would think he will only continue to improve.

Was definitely a lot better then 2021 where by his own admission he often went missing.

There is always the risk it’s a flash in the pan.

I'm sure we have that much available. The concern would be whether we want to spend that much on two players whose responsibilities overlap.

Despite all the talk about other clubs being able to afford gun halves pairings I don't actually think any of them, including the Panthers, would be paying $2M for their halves.

I reckon our 2 props would cause us cap problems later as they may be at the peak now. But in a couple of years, they maybe not as effective. We shouldve kept one and looked for a younger cheaper one to complement him

It all depends on whether we’ve overpaid through the entirety of their contracts. But clubs and players know that they are likely to decline after a certain age, even as they know salary caps are likely to increase. These are all factors the parties are well aware of, not just us nuffies on the internet. They will have considered these factors in negotiations.

I reckon Moses has also peaked or is close to it which is why we won’t be matching any ludicrous offers. Brown is still on the up which is why he should be the priority.

And buying players like Murchie, Hopgood, Doorey and Momoisea is basically replicating the Melbourne system. Give big money to your spine and props, the next tier to a centre and a backrower sprinkled with players that could do a defined job.

 

[King-Gutho94]

The only issue is what will the spine look like in 2024.

Gutho will be 30 and a 35 year old Hooker are the only contracted so far in the spine.

Even though i dont think we will lose both Drown or Moses imo. If we lose one just means we have to pay an extra 200-300k for the other I suspect.

We threw Jake in there and he handled it really well. Scored a try in the gf too

Not sure how much sarcasm is in your posts.

It was far easier when we had a team meeting in Jack Gibson's bus, trained twice a week then had a beer and a pie at the Royal Oak afterwards.

Asi looks good.

Could be a great utility option.

Can play in the halves, centre, back row if needed and hooker. There is undeniable talent there and a very crafty kicking game.

If he has the right attitude, fitness and work ethic then he owns #14 for mine unless he starts.
Astute signing

So..... not FFS O'Neill?

Not……… yet

Blake Ferguson is returning to Australia...

He's 32, and has some defensive issues - but he can finish a try, and runs the ball back better than Sivo, and Blake...

And I don't think he'd cost much...

He was pretty much broken when he left.

 

[Stevie]

I’m very surprised at people throwing Asi straight into the top 17 when he has yet to prove that he can even handle first grade. He could turn out to be another Tom Humble for all we know.
