What good does it do for us to make the Sharks pay more? The rationale is hard to understand? No players of his calibre will come to us - it's just not going to happen for light years.

Jack Wighton & George Williams
We should go hard for these 2 & rekindle their relationship from the Raiders (with Bateman as well).
We probably have the largest salary cap room (from next season) & possibly more room if we do not re-sign Brooks & Laurie and release Nofa.
Wighton is 30 and will be seeking his final contract and I would assume we could blow the Raiders out of the water with an offer. His Player Option for next season is a reportedly $900k.
Getting him and having Bateman could also prove a lure for Williams.
Having these 2 and Api in our spine and a lower budget x-factor fullback like a Connor Tracey would be amazing.
They would all provide experience, leadership & mongrel and immediately changes us.
Open the chequebook Sheensie & Benji!

Moses did and it was less than we offered so the lure of a premiership will keep him at the Sharks more so than the dollars we offer. It's not everything to some people.

I doubt that but 2-2 sounds 100% better than 0-4
It's the way we are 0-4. We have played 4 rubbish teams (yes Storm have about 6 out and are playing rubbish). And havnt looked like winning. Attack is boring and predictable and our edge defence is soft as butter as usual.
We were never going to make the finals but everyone wanted improvement. Can see us 0-8 for sure.

The way we're going it will probably be 1-6 after 7 weeks

Dally M winner Jack Wighton has dropped a bombshell on the Canberra Raiders by informing the club he is placing himself on the open market for the first time in 14-years.
Grab him and Williams would be outstanding as long as Brooks is gone.

when it ones to salaries agree reporters don't really know Brooks is case in point anywhere from 900k to 1.3 million was mentioned...
I don't begrudge any player getting paid whatever they can career's can be short

But they were also playing a weak opponent, compared to previous weeks where they played the stronger teams in the comp.
Halfback and fullback are sadly two of the weak spots in that SG ball side.
end of 2024
He
He is 30 and looking for a 5 year deal $1m+ per year... I'd give him 3 years max at $850 p.a.

If the recruitment team can secure Williams, Wighton and release Brooks and the dough man...all will be forgiven from my end.

For what we intended to fork out for that Muppet Moses, we would probably pick up both of them
