Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Dane Gagai and Josh Papali’i ?
Obviously both are legends of the game and having very good seasons at their respective clubs, but would moving to a new club and being a year older in 2026 be one season too long at their age ?
It’s really a flip of the coin type situation as their quality, experience and leadership could be extremely valuable , but on the other hand they may just be to old and slow come 2026.
In my opinion if we could get either or both of them on a 1 year deal, maybe with a 2nd year option in our favour at a reasonable price which I’d say is approximately 400k I would take the risk with them.
A perfect scenario could be to try and keep legends like these at our club after their playing days as coaches/mentors,
 
The money papali commands would be too much imo. Surely there’s a better mid career option
In a different club system I doubt he would have form to be selected for origin next year.
Gagai I also think would be too expensive for value he’d provide

What if they were happy with around 400k ?
Obviously you couldn’t go above 500k for players in their positions at their age, but if either of them agreed to play for us at around 400k in 2026, I could potentially see some value in that.
