It’s not going to be as simple as giving him a big offer and him signing just like that. Someone else is going to make a big play at some point. Interesting how some teams just sit back and wait, yet we are always the first club on the scene with an offer. Really shows the club’s desperation for a marquee signing.
Api’s play style, combined with Benji’s coaching plan might be the draw card.
Agree, they’re giving themselves options.
Well it's fine having Gus doing heaps of stuff until he gets tired of it, or even worse, until he thinks you're looking a bit tired.
A WT early offer could also be setting the bar? Which I guess is what you’re eluding to?
That’s another story. I simply disputed that he’s not good under a high ball. He’s always been great. All great fullbacks drop one here or there.
$$$$$ = the draw card
You can be sure the dogs and dragons are also in discussions with him and his agent, yet there is zero mention of this in the media. As usual.
Brent Read's column today had a tidbit about Canterbury wanting to have a crack, but Gus is weary of going too high salary-wise given their clear lack of quality in terms of middle forwards. the Dogs are appealing to him though given Ciraldo, Burton, Crichton and Kikau are all there, plus Laundy's "investment advice".
Flanagan doesn’t mind being transparent. Says he’s going after Deardon, Manu, Addin etc. 😂
It wouldn’t have been though. A few more clubs will throw their hats in the ring before all is said and done.
Apparently he’s told his teammates that they’ll know his plans by 8th Dec. so I’m wondering if he signed with us yesterday and has to wait that period before he can announce.
Don't worry, I am just relying on Bradman Best's instagram caption hints 👀 lol
We've been here before. Decided not to swap Talau for Fox. That did not end well.
