Thought Bud was on 550? But just memory from media reports at the time. Who really knows.

You're absolutely dead right.
I can't remember the last time a Centre cracked things open for us and made it easy for our halves to finish things off. It's like our engine is missing 2 cylinders.
Everyone is being really forensic with what our halves contribute.... we were pretty flat against the Titans and didn't get over the advantage line much, yet Latu and Luai still delivered two double decoy tries finished off nicely by Skelton. We can't win games off the back of those plays alone.
We get that extra bit of threat, just enough, even if its overs to get it, it would change a lot of games for us. I can totally understand the frustration.
550k is a little bit more believable, but still insane for a NSW Cup halfback.
I actually wanted us to sign him, but I would have through the deal would have been 250-300k tops and only for 2 maybe 3 years to see how it works out, not 4 years on ridiculous money.
Anyway if it is 550k I’d say no to the Rabbitohs if they are only willing to chip in 150k, I’d be telling them chip in 300k, maybe 250k take it or send him back.

He's a freak Wt. I'd pay him 1.1. He isn't your usual centre he goes looking for the ball much more than any other centre in the game including Crichton. He also plays a bigger role in most of there games than any other player atm.
I made it clear what I'd give to get a player like Herbie. .
So do Jarome and Latu ----- but the flops want Doueihi

lol think this is BS, just dangling WT out there to create leverage for bargaining w Super League.I actually said we should make a play for Jock Madden as backup half a few weeks ago, experience, game management & goal kicking.

JOCK’S EYE OF THE TIGER
Jock Madden is on the verge of quitting the Broncos with three clubs, including Wests Tigers, eyeing off the Brisbane playmaker.
Sport Confidential can reveal Madden is considering a return to the Tigers club with whom he made his NRL debut in 2021 before his move to the Broncos two years ago.
Madden is contracted to the Broncos until the end of 2026 but is resigned to leaving Brisbane after the club recently extended skipper Adam Reynolds for a further 12 months.

The 25-year-old was being groomed to succeed Reynolds and had played 15 games for the club over the past two years when the Broncos skipper was unavailable through injury.
But under new coach Michael Maguire, Madden has yet to play NRL this season and appears to have fallen well down the pecking order behind Reynolds, Ezra Mam, Ben Hunt, Billy Walters and teenager Coby Black.
Hull FC coach John Cartwright is keen on Madden given his ties to the playmaker as a former assistant coach at the Broncos to Kevin Walters.
But Hull FC face competition from Australia with the Tigers and a second NRL club having contacted his management to inquire about the possibility of Madden leaving the Broncos at season’s end.
The Broncos are battling a salary-cap crunch and would save around $350,000 by releasing Madden, who played 17 games for the Tigers, from the final season of his deal.

I still say, what / who are our goal kicking options if Doueihi leaves? Api cant do it all. Either we need to recruit a capable kicker or develop from within.

I think I meant Sandon Smith
Is that also your argument to select the low effort bum in the top 13 every week?
If so - you have no clue!

Only if it f*cks up. If we spent 1.1 million for a rep Centre and it got us 17 tries a season and a couple of 60m line breaks every few games, I don't see much harm in that right now.

I feel like we are not brave enough to think of Bula at Centre.
im as tight as a fishes proverbial, preferre to spend on forwards but a top shelf center or fullback would do us wonders and worth the splurge
another we are paying on potential ,that may still leave us heartbroken b4 he hits his straps
