Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Bigger signing than Api can only possibly be Payne Hass. He’d be after a big contract and we would be the only club able to pay him an inflated contract.
Could be in parallel with the news that we will sign Xavier Willison. Is Benji trying to play the Broncos off on each other?
Sign the best prop in the game or sign his protégé?
 
No doubt we should have kept Hastings but he isn’t the only reason knights are in hot form, Ponga was out and started the year poorly and they were sooo bad…Ponga is now back in form and they are killing it.

With Hastings we probably are ahead of dogs and drags, doubt much better. But say if knights had brooks or even Pearce still, I can’t see them doing any worse without Hastings.

He wasn’t the answer for us but he’s just like matto and Aloiai in that it would be nice to have all 3 still playing for us. We somehow manage to loose any above avg first grader. Club needs to realise that one gun player won’t solve our issues and focus hard on keeping talent we have whilst still improving the roster.

We also lost peachy.

Players doing well after they leave tigers is not a revelation

People acting like Sezar is washed up.

He's been a starting 7 in the SL for 4 straight seasons, one of those (last year) in a GF side. Captain of his club for 2 of those as well. He's the starting 7 for Canberra's GF performance in 2019.

2 GF's in 5 years.

And we wring our hands over him replacing Luke Brooks. Or prefer Clune (who I don't mind). Or Cogger (again, don't mind).

But none of them have the resume Sezar brings.

For his SL career he has a 47.46% win ratio. Go on- say that it's rubbish. For his NRL career- 50.97%

Then look at the options we are looking at instead of him.

He's no Andrew Johns. But he knows how to win & put together sustained success over the course of a season.

Some of us are all too familiar with hearing how good potential players will be for us, then they get here and blend in with everyone else. He’s not moving us up the ladder
 
“The merger club are reportedly the frontrunner to acquire his services, while the Knights have also reportedly put their name in the hat to sign the talented halfback.

However, Dragons powerbrokers have reportedly made it clear they will not contribute to Sullivan’s $500,000-per-season salary.”


Is he worth 500k for the next two seasons?
Its not a horrible amount but with the two young halves on roughly the same amount; they are still large contracts if you are playing one in reserve grade.

Haha so they tell him to look elsewhere but won’t carry any of his contract. That’s a bold strategy.

Only way I would pay that is with very large performance incentives driven around onfield results.

They will have to tip in something they want rid, they have plans for his cap space both us and the Knights know this. If we could get him for $100k less a season that would be decent.

He’s not worth $500,000 not in the form he’s in and the fact he’s most likely going to be a back up. He’s not exactly what we are looking for so if they don’t chip tell ‘em ti stuff it where the sun don’t shine!!
