Hazelton will sign elsewhere

Why?

if we are serious we would have offered more then the 450K & just got it done we are fluffing around.

Flanno only offers what he thinks they are worth. Hazelton is not worth paying overs for.

There most probably will be underlying reasons why Flanno offered 450k. Maybe the Molo situation influenced the price.

Who knows the offer might have come with a wish for a final offer if our bid is not the highest offer.

Sign him & give Molo the same option Hunt got if you want out so bad a clean split with no salary contribution to his next contract.

I think it will require $1.5 million ( $500 Thou. per season ) over 3 years to entice him to our club. I believe that's fair and reasonable for a frontrower that Flanno is looking for that provides that element of difference.

How would anyone here possibly know what we have offered to Hazelton or any other player??
The media has a habit of tossing up contract offer dollars based on what??
When I hear from Flanagan that we have actually made an offer to Hazelton then I will know we are serious about signing him.

Sounds fine but Flanno supposedly said the matter is a "legal minefield." How could it be? Molo is in breach of his contract isn't he?

But that would be too sensible. Instead, I interpret this to mean that Molo might - for example - maintain that he has had to suffer such a hostile work environment that only a payout of his contract or some compensation would settle the matter.

Cue the NSW Supreme Court.

This sounds like it'll drag on. Far out, why can't we have 1 season without any bullshit issues.
