The Rumours Thread

I wasn’t suggesting him as a centre we are well covered there. He’s a big boy & runs hard I was suggesting him as a backrower ala Beau Scott. Hard as nails & doesn’t take sh&t from anyone View attachment 45344

A centre for 700 K to be switched to Back row ...??? Why not chase an actual elite back rower for that price.

Crichton is 2yrs older & would be well above maybe even up to $900k

Capewell is 6yrs older & is probably $800k

Staggs $2.8M over 4yrs if he wants to play second row totally works for me.

Do the names Beau Scott & Ben Creagh mean anything to you? Both started in the backs & won us a comp playing second row. So don’t post dribble it can’t be done. This is an opportunity to potentially buy a very good backrower at the price of a centre.

Euan 25yrs182cm 93kgs
Staggs 22yrs 185cm 92kg

another potential candidate is JP

I like the looks of Staggs he could become anything

So today you tell one poster to FO because he supports another club and you tell Getsmarty to stop dribbling - both were posts that were just their opinions and relevant forum banter.

I haven’t seen these type of posts from you before and genuinely hope you’re ok mate.

You really have inflated your figures here to help your argument. Remember , the salary cap has been reduced.

Yeah fair enough, sorry gents I’ve received some bad news today so I’m in a bad mood. Just venting my anger & frustration. Sorry I won’t post again today.

Where did you pull those figures from ?...Firstly Cap has gone down.

Secondly how do you know Staggs wants to play 2nd row..???

Many assumptions made......

Remember he plays for Easts. What do you think they will offer him to stay?

Mate...no need to be Rude....Enlighten me...when has Staggs played 2nd row ? ...Again , for that money we could get a specialist back rower and staggs would actually need to want to play as a back rower.

Add to that, guys like Creagh and Scott were never on Marquee Dollars....Agree to disagree on this one...

Have a good Afternoon.

With the salary cap now at 9.02 mil for 30 players how could you possibly justify paying a back rower 900k?? Surely something has to give $$$ wise??

With Easts & their famous brown paper bag system of cap management, to pinch a player off them will command top
Dollar which is why I was suggesting Staggs as an option, but given the sh/ t I’ve copped by suggesting it best we all forget the idea

What about the Capewell 800k
He has doubled value over the off season... LOL

Yep agree

Why are people talking about Staggs as a second row project?

He's a top 3 centre in the comp. Why change that?

Did not the media say you gonna have to pay more than 700 a season to take Staggs away from the Broncos
So that would likely mean for us 800 a season and upwards

Not people, a forum members idea that’s all.

Playing origin tends to add to a players value. To pinch him from Penrith will cost $800K
