NC worth a Million

Brooks with Penrith's pack and Maloney outside of him - if only.

Indeed. Cleary would be silly to move from Penrith unless it's to a stronger club.

Yes but Ivan is here with a view to building us up to be a better team - not to be also-rans.

If Nathan can see where the bus is going then we’re in with a shot.

The bus has to find its way out of the terminal first.
 
I'd be comfortable with paying him in the vicinity of $850 but a Mil for someone so young makes me wary. We have paid overs for potential in the past and look where that got us.

He is a current origin player who plays in the spine not really a "potential" type signing, his value will only get higher.Certainly there are risks but any signing carries a risk.
 
I don’t think we’re actually that far off being a real quality side. We just need a few decent names on board in key positions.

I’ve said it before but I honestly think so much of our future recruitment hangs onto what happens with Nathan Cleary. Cleary is going to command 1 million plus. Whether he’s worth it is up for debate, but there’s a very good chance he’ll end up one of the best players in the game in the next few years and the long-term Blues and Australian halfback.

I just hope whatever happens, Nathan gets it over and done with after his 21st in November like he’s been quoted saying so that we can target elsewhere if need be. Hopefully Ivan has a fair idea of what’ll happen too so we don’t hold off and miss a quality signing waiting on Nathan’s ‘official’ decision.
 
WHATS HAPPENED TO NATHAN
Played reasonably well in SOO against the Broncos an ordinary performance I think all is not well at Penriff 2SM Talkin Sport last night indicated there could be coaching changes at Penriff and the Silvertails announced as early as Monday with a former Penriff coaching staff member returning to the fold at the foot of the Mountains
 
Well NC can bring Waqa Blake with him from the Panthers.

Left and right side halves so what number worn on your back is irrelevant.

Does anyone seriously believe Ben Hunt is in the class of NC or for that matter Brooks? I don't see $500,000 difereence between Brooks and Hunt. That has to be hurting the Dragons' cap and we should be looking at Jackson Ford, Zac Lomax and a few others out of their system.

Saints paid overs for Hunt because they were desperate. Doesn’t reflect on Cleary.

It does in the way that some may be questioning his $1m asking price. I don't and believe at that price he is a good buy.

At some stage, the Penrith cap has to give. You can sign all the players up but is it a case of signing them up and then attempting to move on players to fit the ones you want in?
