- just on averillos deal , 700k in year 3 and 4, it includes all ratchet clauses as well , which factors in a new broadcast deal , today's comparison would be around 500k

- expect samuela and latu to be announced in the next two weeks also

- tupou deal close, believe we are angling for a dev deal, but tupou wants top 30

Dunster, Herbert and Tupou even Schuster all seem to be similar type signings. All with good pedigree but all probably their last chances to crack it. Very Bennett-esque from Benji

No they are different.

Herbert clearly had lost his NRL chance, we looked for a min value signing and gave him a chance...
At min value he is worth it.

Tupou has failed at Dolphins and Easts are punting him. We shouldn't touch the guy.

Dunster was 2021. Train and trial, maybe. it's 2026 I doubt he will have anything to offer.

Schuster is a big risk. This is a lot like us signing Jamal Idris, who from memory did next to zero here and was 'community ambassador'.



Unsure if we have really signed Dunster, but signing all 3 above is some real long shots. I hope we haven't paid any significant money at all.

I’m happy to give Shuster a chance at bigger all money.
Not so sure about Dunster.
Truth is Schuster had more talent than most and buggered himself up.
If Benji can get him to his best we’ll be laughing.

Agree with all except Schuster. He isn’t even part of our FG cap, no down side
