I figure that would be the number if we were going to make him the highest paid player in the game? It would be horrendous. I can see a situation where the Tigers somehow end up bidding against themselves.

I hope not. But we have paid way overs for Packer, Mbye, Reynolds and Mcqueen.

And yet every player you hear talk about the place says how much they love the joint, including Api and Bula who both could've got a start at many other clubs but chose to extend with us.
I can believe them or believe the echo chamber. It's a hard choice

Even the ones we booted like Average Joe talked about how he didn't want to leave.
The negative rubbish that echos back between the negative doomsday cult that have overtaken the forum isn't supported by anything the players say or the players we've acquired in the last 12 months.

There's a core group who've swamped the forum who walk around with a constant cloud lingering over their heads. They must be friggin' pleasures to live with.

Ignore the echo chamber, they are not only dumb, they are ignorant as well. Would not know a footballer if they fell over one. If Gasnier, Raper et.al. were available they would say that they are not worth the money.
He was waiting for the game/game plan to dictate attacking footy. The first half he was turning players, with the clear intention to work over the Broncos middles. Him attacking/running wouldn't work whilst the Broncos are fresh.
The first 20 of the 2nd half he had few attacking opportunities. Hard to show any attacking brilliance whilst watching Ezra Mam run past you.
Then finally he got some good ball off the back of JFH and Leota returning to the field. Without Luai and to a lesser extent Yeo he would have known it was on him to step up. Realistically it would have been on Cleaey to step up even with those 2 on the field.
Others helped. Cogger played an adequate 2nd fiddle role and Crichton was brilliant as Cleary's go to when there was nothing on through the middle. But I don't believe having Cogger instead of Luai was in anyway the catalyst for Clearys efforts (beyond Cleary knowing there was noone else through the middle that could deliver what was required).
Agree with all of this, even Yeo being a hindrance in Origin. Yeo is one of my favourite club players to watch but in Origin the line speed (or lack of enforcing 10m) is too quick to have a link man at 13.

There is rarely any anything decent in this thread, and or this forum these days, just full of negative, whining, whinging, complaining, name calling, bickering, nonsense. who would want to support this club if its a cross section of our fans.

Really?
Reading the worst ever WT thread, then thinking who we would pay a million plus for has me very worried.
I'm expecting Luai on 1.4 mil only because nothing would disappoint me more.

Recruitment update!
Club have been keeping tabs on Bradman Best for a while I posted a couple of months ago he was our main recruitment target along with Olam as the plan is to upgrade our stocks within the outside backs.
Storm threw a potential Olam for Blore trade up - however with Blore recent rise in form to end the year and Olam’s defensive struggles to end the year it seems we’ve denied that deal.
The club have been monitoring Best for a while and I posted on here that Best’s management put the notion that deals would have to start at around 700k for him to entertain leaving Newcastle. Which was initially scoffed at - however his form to end the year and most especially his SOS performance has switched us to engage in those talks and will most probably offer anywhere in the region from 700-800k.
I wouldn’t get too excited though cause I’m hearing Best is leaning towards remaining at Newcastle but we’ll make them sweat.
Ezra Mam will remain at Brisbane - Dragons want him badly but he’ll ink a new deal pretty soon.
Luai is definitely being circled by Benji - however the club are eager to see Sullivan’s development and ability through pre season before putting a formal offer towards him.

Thanks teddy23. That clears up a few rumours swirling around.

can’t believe people aren’t happy with back to back wooden spoons, eight wins out of their last 50 games and missing the finals 12 years in a row…

Man you are so right. yesterday there was even a bloke bitching about the review into the governance of the club. Can you imagine it? What kind of depressive lunatic wants things to stay the same as they are?

thanks mate, the Luai stuff ties in with some stuff that I've heard close to the club in recent weeks. you got anything on Staines / external outside backs?

Sadly some just focus on the negative in a destructive way.
Even hearing the possibility of acquiring Luai and Best are problematic.
Probably the ones who either sit on the board who are close friends of the ones who do.

You should have said to him "you better not take Benji's job".
