We would be saying it in the pride thread, I'll give you the hot tip.
Reportedly the Knights offer. 6 mill over 5 years.... So if we want him to stay maybe we have to as well....
I never thought a Queenslander would be capable of something like this.
Sanders and Talagi were in SG Ball and less than 18 months after the grand final, both had rejected our offers and been announced elsewhere.
I'd say it was injury that nearly ruined his career.
ffs
These kids are scouted heavily by the time they are in SG Ball, and there's no "You're playing Flegg next year, take it or leave it" with the best of them. They are getting good offers for top 30 spots straight out of SG Ball.
I love him too, but that's because I'm a childish bogan who doesn't care about Corporate America (Australia branch). Unfortunately for Joe, and most NRL players, the clubs (which are also corporations) care desperately about keeping their fellow corporates happy, both now and in the future. That's how woke culture has crept into pro sports despite the majority of players and fans finding it stifling and oppressive. If they want the big money the need to please the ones with the money.
Well we have no control over it and we're not f**ken chilled!
I'm sure he could, and much cheaper, but his run game and defence aren't even close. You get what you pay for.
Here's a tip, without the PO we would have no control until Drown, or his replacement, makes a decision anyway. Last time Moses re-signed he was announced in round 11, with no PO holding him up. How much control did we have then?
Agreed, and that's the decision we made with Sanders and Talagi. Luckily Guymer was already contracted when he tried to squeeze us for more money, and we were able to renegotiate on our terms. But it's likely his manager didn't anticipate the demand for him by mid-2024, and we were lucky enough to lock him in early. Sanders and Talagi were standouts in SG Ball and their managers knew not to accept our lowball offers. But that doesn't mean we should've gotten ourselves into a bidding war to keep them, especially when there was no place for them in the halves in our NRL team.
It’s easier to see in reverse. Like every NRL fan looks at American football and wonders why they don’t lateral after the catch more. American football coaches are a lot smarter than league coaches so they would see a lot.
Yeah but you would have to also live in Newcastle....I'll stay in Sydney for slightly less thanksReportedly the Knights offer. 6 mill over 5 years.... So if we want him to stay maybe we have to as well....
Eels coach Ryles relaxed about Dylan Brown’s contract situation
Dylan Brown scored a try and set one up in Parramatta’s trial thrashing of Newcastle - the team who are hoping to lure him away from the Eels.www.smh.com.au
