Same
Guilfoyle Park

I think Api played reggies for Norths for a time befor NRL

Yeah, when he was at south's
North's were the feeder and he played cup

This whole, "they're bears juniors" thing is weird.

enjoy PNG Sammy , he is probably worth 900k max

He may well take Latu too, so be it

This whole argument on value continues to boil down to potential and what you pay for it. Even if he was the finished product right now, is he better than a Hudson Young style backrower and what is he going to attract? Unsure it’ll be $1.2M a year. Might be different on the new cap but right now I’d doubt it.

The long suffering clubs, like ours, always get caught up paying on potential as we’ve got no other option.

If the Benji love, coupled with the brotherly love don’t get it done, then we need to question the whole Benji / sibling strategy we’re running with as we shouldn’t need to offer all three of Benji, siblings and over the top $.

@kade7 Do you have an update on Samueal Fainu?....is $1.2m asking price media BS from his Manager?

Cheers for that. I like Martin on a short term deal.

I reckon if fainu asking big money then all those blokes probably will be as well.

All depends on whether ratchet clause is included in his base deal...if for example Sam wants to start at $1.2 and include 67% ratchet by 2030.. ...makes him $2mill in 2030
...and hes simply dreaming
If he wants to match the Chiefs post tax....heres your one way ticket on Air PNG
