And the stories of him getting pushed out reports he is on around 800K mite be worth asking about

I remember hearing someone mention his current contract is 900k per season.
His exposed form is a lot better than Bula, but 2026 is a new year and Bula might live up to his price tag and if that happens we wouldn’t be swapping him.
If we do come to the conclusion that Bula is looking to leave us, we should be headhunting Jaxon Purdue who clearly has a much higher ceiling than Drinkwater.

Honestly I would say yes.
I realise Hamiso would be more then 1.2m Or I suspect for us to get him. Unsure if he will leave QLD.
Your talking a player who has more X factor then Bula with about the same "footy" skills. Not a natural fullback but still a weapon.

Drinky is basically the pre-Benji Doueihi of fullbacks. Defence is optional and sometimes you just pretend to defend. Absolute weapon with ball in hand but my god his defensive efforts would drive me mad if he played on our team.

Not just the defence but he might have the least respect for the ball in the league. It makes him dangerous for both teams on game day.
Slightly better than league average on his day, but his worst will lose you games single handed.
If he's in 900k no wonder cowboys are in strfe.
Purdue on the other hand, him id pay big bucks
Drinkwater couldn't tackle a brown paper bag. Assists tries 30 times and let's in 40. I wouldn't take him if he was 200k. Sorry but defence is too.impprtant at the back.
