I'd be happy to take him back, but at nowhere near the price we were originally going to give him before he signed with the Bulldogs.

Never ceases to amaze me how much control these germs have over grown men. It’s almost as if the managers tell the players where they are going sometimes.

Rumours are Bradman Best.
We’d probably get him for 1.2 million per season for the next 5 seasons, is he worth it ?

I don't want to say. I think it may set you off.

For what it’s worth the guy at the source of my rumour ruled out Best, Kiraz, Manu
Indirectly he ruled out Olakuatu and other info seems to have Ezra quite unlikely

So are you claiming to know who it is, or you don’t know yourself?
Ideal from hear based on rumours would be release Simpkin, Nofoaluma & Kepaoa for 24. Re-sign Staines & Seyfarth for 24. Leave 2 spots open in the top 30 pending the future. Sign Olakau'atu & Best for 25.
Not unrealistic but as reported would have to pay overs for their signatures. We do have cash in the bank!

No what sets me off is if the club goes out and over spends to sign a marquee player some fans which I believe you are part of generally get on the attack stating the club has no idea and constantly waste cal space over paying players, but on the other hand if the club refuses to pay overs and misses out on signing a marquee player these same fans will attack the club for not being able to sign any marquee players.
So it becomes a no win situation in order for the club to please these fans I am talking about.
So that’s why I ask, would you be happy for the club to pay overs of approximately 1.2 million per season to sign someone like Bradman Best or would you prefer them to put the cheque book away and run with what we have or lesser players who will sign with us for a much cheaper price tag ?
If you want my opinion, it’s a flip of the coin as we no doubt need to sign a marquee player to lift everyone’s spirits, whether or not someone like Bradman Best is that right player it’s very hard to say as he’s young and who knows if he would reach his potential with us or not ?

Who is saying Best at $1.2m?
I was reading in the paper a figure of $800k..
Halfway through the season, people wanted to pay Lolmax that

I don’t know or I would share
My guy won’t tell me as he was told in confidence
Those ruled out are either by him directly or by my call on what he has said which on some isn’t absolutely crystal clear

Yeah that's what I thought. Youre after an argument. I'm not interested.

Yes, me too. I’m standing on the outside lookin in as the Chisels used to sing !!
We will not be getting him for $800k trust me on that.
If we pay the 1.2 million per season they are asking we will be 90% across the line.
