$1-1.1mill for a 31 year old Centre, have we got rid of the cap?
Excatly ..whos paying 1.1 mill for a centre ?
The Raiders pay him 900K atm ..... as a 5/8 & were prepared to up that to 1.1 mill

Souths are offering about 800K for him ..... in the centres too
so
not real sure what you're gibbering about ?

He’s taking less than what Canberra offered
haha of course he is, its his final pay day, why wouldnt he take less? People still believe that old chestnut?
Whats the odds on him having an 'ambassadorial' or coaching role for souths for a few years after he retires? Purely based on non playing ability of course

800k is still good coin and he’s not carrying a side that’s struggling and has a chance to win a comp before he retires

$300k a year less for 4 years in your final payday?
yeh sounds legit!
Dolphins we’re offering the same money or a bit less

but yeh there’s a smell about those south’s medical retirements which is probably why richo got booted

Surely no souffs fan can ever have a whinge about the roosters salary cap again with a straight face?
We signed a grand total of 0 players this year

Our past 2 seasons all we have signed is Havili and Chee Kam and lost Reynolds, Gagai, Su'A, Marshall, Nicholls, Paulo, etc

We have 4 jersey flegg players who aren't anywhere near FG in our top 30

Guys like Thompson, Milne and Tass are in our top 6 backs

We could easily fit him in, no worries at all

Issues would come when we need to upgrade guys we have developed like Graham, Koloamatangi, etc

Souths have one 1 comp in 53 years and that was 9 years ago. I don't understand how people think Souths have a better chance of winning a comp sooner than the Raiders tbh. There's nothing special about their squad.

Not that I disagree with you, but it's hilarious that this is basically a copy and paste of the Roosters fans usual defence.

I think a split is best for the Raiders and best for Jack. He’s done almost everything in the game - Dally M, Clive Churchill, won Origin, won a World Cup - and he deserves to retire with a premiership.

He can do that as a strike centre with some good halves, I’m not so sure he can do that playing as a 6. Souths would be the ideal landing spot.

I think it will be good for the Raiders too, who as far as I can tell don’t have a succession plan despite Jack being on the wrong side of 30.

Lucky you didnt have to upgrade Walker, Mitchell , Cook , Burgess , Murray and Arrow or resign any other players.
They all just want to play for souths.
Any one with half a brain knows just cause you don't sign anyone new doesn't mean your not spending the money.
Just face it your clubs owned by billionaires who are the richest men in Australia and you run the NRL.
There would be no NRL without souths and there supporters so nothing to see here just move on .
