Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

What do people think is an acceptable offer to give us value for Pearce-Paul?

For mine, on the cheeky end - 500/550k.

Likely, if he lands, I'd say it's for no less than 650/700k. Unfortunately.

I can't see him or his management walking back too far from his current contract value, given that he is in (somewhat) demand and the cap will likely rise significantly over the course of his next contract.

Is KPP worth 700k? no. It's an over-inflated salary for an average to good 2nd rower. What is the cost of NOT signing him though?

We are one injury away from Sukkar or Porter starting on the edge. Sam Fainu looks gassed and it wouldn't surprise me if he broke down mid season. We are desperately short there. We can hold off and see what else happens but what if we get to the same point next year and no better than KPP has come on the market?

Give me KPP on 650-700k and I take it and run.

KPP is definitely a "potential" salary player.

The SBW comparisons are a bit wild.
But there's definitely something to him.
He'd add some strike to our backrow which would be massive for us.

I think we haven't seen his best at Newcastle.
Lots to like about that deal.

He could be handy at the right price, but that ain’t 750.
His defence has been questioned but in the right environment he could be better.
What’s the right price for us to pay him do you reckon? I haven’t seem enough of him to call it, but he’s the next SBW, so they say, 🤷‍♂️
Is he better than Girafe or Sam Fainu? What are they on $350? So maybe $500 with the knuts chipping in. But they won’t want to pay $250.
I reckon $500 this year and $600 next?
I was about to say with rep team incentives but he’s a Pom isn’t he, and even Oli Dillfart makes that team.

Broncos are a powder keg. Not being critical of Madge, that playing group needs to be disassembled & start over. Weird that such a talented group can't get it right.

Bennett's stamp is all over the Broncos and combine that with the Qld parochial view, it would be an assignment you take on after careful consideration if you were a New South Welshman.

That maggot is just trying to sabotage Madge. Cut and paste, make the deadline and more drinks.
I like the way he says “ he is just letting Madge tell his side of another of Buzz’s BS story”
I’m sorry I clicked on it.

The biggest issue with what buzz said was “the way he spoke to me on the phone gave me insight into why the playing groups go off him”
I’m no Madge fan as a coach , as I think the young players don’t sync up with that aged hard edged coach , but buzz is dead set off his head comparing the 2 things because he was told to go F himself by someone he’s been writing negative articles about since his days at Souths 10 years ago.
And like Gordy was saying there’s only one Bellamy . I’m not even sure the Bellamy style works for him outside of Melbourne .
Everyone knows you go to melb , you’re going into the nrl version of the army , for good and bad . The system , the coach , the reputation , are all part of the package when you’re weighing up a Melbourne contract .
I just don’t think that type of coaching works outside of places like melb , and even Canberra where you’re away from thr 24/7 of nrl media.
