Interesting story about Haas - before he signed with Brisbane he was pretty much a done deal to go to Melbourne as there was a verbal agreement. Bennett was made aware of Haas's pending switch to Melbourne and gave him a call (coaching Brisbane at the time) and convinced him to sign with Brisbane instead. Melbourne have been and still are filthy over this - wouldn't be surprised if they go extra hard at Haas to pry him away.
Apparenlty. Hopefully the media release with sezar is ready to go.
He is a great player but there is no way we should be spending the sort of money he is after for a prop.We have made many foolish recruitment decisions in the past and this would probably beat them all in rank stupidity.We need halves and centres far more than props
Then why wouldn't he just accept the Broncos offer. They're a top 4 team, they've offered him what he wants. I just think someone's in his "managers" ears atm.
Same he will get 1.15 - 1.2 million a year from someone. If there's no third party agreements then that's ten percent of your cap on a prop. That's hoping he doesn't start whinging and whining every year for a pay rise. He is awesome though a generational talent.
yeah it’s all bs. He’s just trying to max out his offer. Maybe it’s a signal to rugby as well?
any outside backs the club is looking at?
Yeah I think if it's not the Broncs it's them or I can see uncle Nick going all out for him. I'd imagine the money he wants though there might be a few Storm players in the window. Might be worth Fulton giving them a ring and making a few enquiries over any players we might fancy. Not often the Storm are in a position where they feel a need to offload players. That's just my speculation though.
It will appear next to his graph of Wooden Spoons
So Staines is on more now than we are offering him for next contract , this sound poor again , are we low balling him or is the coin offered worth it to him to stay , he is young and a good player with speed ,
Is he scared or just cold?
Hahah someone said he looks scared or cold , he’s shitting himself , listening To Pascoe probably does that to you , ( yes mate we will compete next year , top 8 for us , we are rebuilding for the 7 th time no worries
Cheers @kade7 hopefully Staines sees his opportunity here as greater than elsewhere plus the support the club provided through his bowel op.
