Apparently Richo’s been saving the pennies and is sitting on a stack of cash. Hypothetically we could front load a contract to reduce the impact on next year’s cap. Just making the point that it’s potentially feasible.

Yeah they could pay him the full million if they wanted to …never said that was a problem… just whether his play would live up to that figure is my concern

I remember the middle 80's and early 90's Roosters were terrible lol

I agree, Brown 1.3 or 1.4
a season,
Ponga 1.5.
Almost 3ml for 2 players
A season.
Newcastle starting to act like Roosters.
I agree there’s legitimate concerns with his attitude and recent performances, but if, as per the hypothetical, we paid him $600K off our cap we’d need him to justify a $600K salary, not $1M.
I get it, but Skelton has one more year with us and can sign elsewhere after Nov 1. He has injury issues with the gang in hamstrings, will this get better?? Who knows?? Dom Young is massive, superfast and super tall. All stuff we don’t have

Just watched a replay of NRL 360 and unfortunately that C Head Benny was on it, he is so annoying I just deleted it straight away can't stand the sight of him after the Galvan episode.
Not to mention Best must be on $700,000
Agree for 200-300k a season we would be dumb not to make a call.

We have a real chance to address a gaping hole in our starting 13 with a seemingly possible signing of Fifita KPP or Nanai, throw in Kobe and a mentally reformed Taylan we could have a real crack at the top 4 next year.
We should be excited by the yet to be realised talent of Latu Makasini Kit Heath and Talyn who will continue to improve and push for starting spots.
Also having hard workers Twal Seyfarth and Sione as depth is not as bad as people think.
Get the chequebook out boys

he is a terrible defender

he was pushing Moses at 6 for origin
His opinions are pretty biased, however as a football player Elias changed how dummy half was played he was an incredible 9
Has a boat load of tries per game ratio. Skelton has a drop ball and a few defensive weaknesses in his game. Think Dom is just not vibing with the yuppy part of town!

So true but why did he have to morph into an A Hole.

Many don't rate him, but I think Young is really good.
Unfortunately they have far better players and depth at wing than centre and back row and need to sort those out.
I'd love to have Young on the wing but I'm not optimistic it's going to happen. 😐

IMO we have our 2 wingers, 1 centre, fullback, halfback, hooker, starting props and 1 starting second rower sorted. We should be recruiting around these players.
Lock, second row are where we need to recruit. Probably a centre too but need room for Makasini.
Young is none of those things despite his talent.
