Rumours and Whingers and Occasional Optimism XXIX

[Avenger]

Or if we want to pay that much for a front rower. How much would JWH cost compared to Paulo? That's not a rhetorical question.

$600k.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Compared to how much for Paulo though?

 

[hineyrulz]

If Paulo is getting 750k JWH could command a million.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It's a lot of money for a bloke who only plays half a game.

only if you go full Ricky

 

[hineyrulz]

only if you go full Ricky

Never go full Ricky.

 

[Last Week]

There aren't many stand out front rowers off contract this year (going off the zero tackle website), Luke Burgess? Sam Moa?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

And even some non-reps are getting rep's money.

That's right, the competitive tension would raise the price of all props for the next year or so. Tariq Sims is off contract too but I doubt the Knights will let him go.

I think we need to sure up what we have now. I hope the club have a good plan for replacing Paulo.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Moeroa, Alvaro, Twal? Between them they'll get it done, and will mean we don't have to shed too many players.

I'm more concerned about losing Norman.

I don't think he'll leave. Titans possibly, but I think he can see we're building nicely and he's a big part of that. I can see us shedding Peats to accommodate.

Haven't they just re-signed elgey? They also have Roberts and Taylor, while none are going to cost as much as Norman (or are as good), I doubt they will now be chasing him when they already have 3 halves on probably top 17 money.

Not sure who else would be chasing him now, maybe dragons.

 

[Gronk]

Speculation this morning that Brookes and Moses are chasing $700k.

Tits just re-signed Elgey for $750k for 2017/18.

Foran's $1.2m deal looks good value now compared to those rookies..

If Moses and brooks are chasing that, what's Normans asking price?

900k??? Massive chunk of change for a non rep player.

Gronk is right though Foran at 1.2m is a steal compared.

Buying players off contract is waste of time and money. As we've seen this year, just because you have a contract doesn't mean you won't change clubs.

Is Foran really worth 33.3% or more (or even higher) than Norman?

 

[hineyrulz]

Is Foran really worth 33.3% more than Norman?

fully fit yes, he's much better defensively and in leadership alone he adds plenty to the side. Skill wise there is probably not much in it but everything else Foran wins IMO.

 

[yy_cheng]

Well firan has shown he can handkw the pressurepressures of the big gamrs. Hes won a premiership and has played for his country. Norman has yet to do that

Hell probably command 900k

What other teams are looking for a half?
