The Rumours Thread

[mattw5]

If the numbers being reported are correct then I can’t see why he would come to be honest. 450 a season is way off the 600 he is looking for. We desperately need a big body up front and I think we need to be offering say 1.6/1.7 over 3 years minimum to get him out of that shit hole

He wants $600K pay the money get it done if we have seriously offered $450K we are dreaming.

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

$550k pa max is about right for him unless there is limited irons in the fire for middles that Flanno is working with

im guessing we still need an explosive nugget prop if Molo goes

these two guys for approx $900k pa between them would be absolutely ideal

completely different middles

unless we see that Latu is all ready to bring a similar off the bench to pahalu which is actually possible.

He has to be close to 102kg minimum already at 18yrs of age and runs hard !!!!! I realise it is almost rediculous talking about a middle at 18yrs of agebut i seriously rate this kid as much as our 19yr old debutant Couchmen.........Finau is a weapon AND MY ONLY EXPECTATION is a possible bench role if BMM, Couchmen, Lawrie etc etc are not firing

I suppose the big tick will be if Emre can become a genuine starting prop. Now that would be a game changer !

I hope the journos are in lala land coz if Flanno has offered 1.3 over 3 then it’s going to end embarrassingly for us again. We legitimately have a chance to knock the others out of the ballpark so go for the throat Flanno please, don’t be a tight arse and let it fall over again. Good front rowers aren’t falling out the tree, learn from the AFB and RCG debacles

Agree Auntie,

Better than Saifiti, Younger than RCG and Lodge and not able to be keep due AFB which is no slight on him.

Starting prop with us, Wayne less Dolphins and next door.

 

[Saints Forever]

If we don’t make a serious offer, the gummies will find a way to retain him

 

[Jubilee]

He can score crash over tries. That is one more threat variation on the opp. try line. Can Lawrie do that?

Spoke to a Nulla friend - Tom can only do limited minutes and struggles in defence at the end of stints. He was happy for us to take him.
I'm not so sure (even at 450k per year) as we already have a number of forwards that don't play 80 minutes.
BTW - do you notice the article above clearly spells out the money we are offering. Contrast this with David Riccio's article on the Sharks re-signing of Ronaldo Mulitalo. No mention of the contract amount.
Riccio is the Telecrap's designate journo for the Sharks and all his articles are carefully worded and rarely if ever critical of the Sharks. However, he is never short of sticking it to the Dragons and muckracking - eg that stupid article about Gutho being the buy of the year.

Cronulla fans think he is great until they can't keep him. But $450k is a reasonable price. Atkinson after all has to play 80 mins to get his $600k.

 

[St Tangles]

$450K is good coin for a limited minutes prop
$500K is the maximum i would go

There's a rumour I'm going to Kogarah on 30 may my girlfriend is a knights fan if anyone has a spare cot I'm happy to pay my way I'm living in Muswellbrook these days guys let me know if you want to put us up just the one night rjtmygov648@gmail.com thanks guys

 

[BigRedVee]

He’s a great impact prop and 450 is good value. You’d expect long minutes and a high tackle efficiency at double the price.

 

[mattw5]

If Molo is released it frees up around 600K if what has been reported is true 450K is a low ball offer imo, we need to go to at least 500K minimum 1.5 over three years he hasn’t peaked yet.

I’d be astounded if that figure reported is correct. No way in hell Flanno is offering 1.3/3. I call bullshit reporting

I'm sure that in the end Hazelton will come to the Dragons at a price close to 600k per season.

Can only hope… he is tighter then a fishes a**hole with the dollars which is good but can hurt us big time sometimes also.

With all the dramas surrounding Molo, Flanno needs to land a decent front rower. Not many available so he can’t really afford to f**k this up by playing extreme cheapskates. Not saying go crazy and offer absurd $$$ but at least minimum early 500’s per season. 1.6 over 3 is more than fair and should be enough to get Tommy boy over

 

[Hound of Dracula]

Bennet used to have a mantra regarding how much you pay your forwards

Flanno has probably paid attention.

I'm with Flanno - the cap is hard to manage

he will find the right balance

 

[Young Dragon]

450k is an absolute steal. How old is hazelton?

26 or 27.
