That's a shame because I'm still unsure what part you believe is speculative.

Go back and read my comments again….its clearly stated … along with the definition of speculation

The only conclusion i can draw is that you think I'm trying to confirm Peters' mail of we've signed Staines on overs. I'm not. I'm reacting to it and repeatedly acknowledged doubt around it.
Also apologies to all for somewhat derailing the thread. My WiFi is currently down and wife is away for work so this and old DVDs is all I've got for entertainment today.

If you don’t think your comments that I initially quoted do not fit the definition I provided of speculation …. Then I dont believe we are going to reach a consensus…

If we signed Staines for $350k or less, I would consider that a very good move. I'm also very intrigued to see who will make way for him
If you don't tell me how it is speculative then we won't reach a consensus.
Nonetheless, i think I've cracked it.
My initial comment ended with "especially as it appears there is no competition for his signature".
I maintain that it does "appear" that way because there is no reports of any other clubs showing any interest.
However as you said not every approach is reported upon.
So, it would nearly be as speculative to say other clubs aren't interested as it is to say that they are.

If we’re going to let Blore go to the Storm, id rather Staines fill the last roster spot instead of Olam.
I was thinking about 250-300K. Average winger money with a little extra on top because he offers fullback coverage.

The answer to your first line has been provided already in my replies….
If someone said the a pot boiled at 100 degrees I swear you would give the Fahrenheit number , as if somehow different .
I like Adelaide Tiger so this isnt a dig at him when i say this. But he gave a random value with no explanation to how he got to that number. Granted he doesnt owe one, but it would be nice as a discussion point or to further understand his opionion.
I thought it seemed a little high. Not exorbitant but a little high.
So I provided my alternative with a very brief justification.
You are more than welcome to disagree. I would to like to know why but. I do at times enjoy arguing when I disagree on a topic. And it's not even to be an ass, it is typically so i simply can better understand others opinions.
But no I wouldn't argue about the boiling point of water. Or if I were to I wouldn't say Fahrenheit I'd ask what pressure the water is at because I'd like all the information.

Some lame posts above.
Anyway, I’m hearing JWH and AFB coming in

Or if you are suggesting there is little difference between my figure and ATs that is fine. He can take it as a sign that I approximately agree with his number and no need to discuss further.

I was watching Nofa. Look he is getting slower ofcourse and no longer has his speed or step.
But his defense has improved as well as his positioning. Tupou was our weakest link in the backline this season, but hey it's his first season.
Melbourne did Nofa good.
All the talk is about Olam & Blore
but thanks for confirming it Ain’t Happening.

This train and trial is another lurk in the system to be abused
The Sea Eagles have also provided an NRLlifeline to former NSW Bluesrepresentative Nathan Brown. The forward has been gifted a train-and-trial contract along with former Wests Tigersplayer Austin Dias, among others.

How so? Train and trials are at a fixed value.
