im salivating

 

[SeanT]

Pull the 750k incentives based 4 year deal to JAC

Then give it all to Katoni Staggs same length etc, he’s the next big thing

Not for a centre. His defence needs work. But talented for sure.

 

[Another Pom]

Widdop is likely to win us as many, and maybe even more games than Addo-Carr with his game management and goal kicking. Very good experienced player and would be keen to succeed given his family situation and the inability of clubs to pay him what he would normally expect to get.

His shoulder is shot .....if his shoulder was fine ....massive yes and I'd throw in an extra 200 k as well

Maybe a 1 year deal with an option in our favour for a further year. He's been going alright in the SL. Seems a fairly low risk at the money on a short term deal

He only played 12 of 22 games .....that is concern enough

It's not just his shoulder that's a concern as he suffered with ankle injuries for the majority of this season too. Most games that he missed were as a result of this. As good as he once was, I'd personally steer clear.

Staggs is high up on the wish list.

 

[hsvjones]

Staggs his high up on the wish list.

I believe he is also high on Souths wish list too...

 

[Rowdy12]

Staggs his high up on the wish list.

And 14 other clubs

Are South's after 13 backs next year?

 

[JC99]

If Staggs fixes his defence, he’d probably be the best centre in the game, top 5 for sure. He scores some freaky tries, that one against dragons was incredible

Gagai is off contract after next year and they are happy for Allen to leave... But hey they are the new roosters and don't have a salary cap

 

[BAGNF05]

Mortgage the COE to get Kotoni

 

[bigsiro]

Bugger French ..Sitili Tupouniua and Katoni Staggs for 22..

Staggs watch Day#1

Love this.

Staggs is a definite headline. The guy is already amazing.

And if a proper star like Staggs or JAC comes this might the greatest “transfer window” we’ve had.

I know we are looking at him for 22, I haven't heard anything about 21. Honestly I would be happy if we could get Laurie here for 21. Add Staggs in 22 and we would really be moving forward.

 

[Telltails]

I'll be surprised if we are destination club for Staggs at this point. It will be interesting to see if recruitment persists with chasing highly desired players after - LM and JAC - or sticks to the value for money players.

Staffs would be great but are we trying to build a team entirely made up of centres?

We have a club option for 2022 for BJ. We get Staggs and we don’t exercise that option.

We just have to handle it carefully. Don't want to upset his brother.

Yep, his manager is already brushing meetings with us.

Look I’m sorry but us getting Staggs is pie in the sky stuff

We couldn’t get Latrell when we were competing against no one, then offered $300-$400k above his eventual club

JAC is staying in Melbourne purely so he doesn’t have to come here and then is likely going to a bottom 2 club for less then we offered him

Staggs is the hottest young back in the game. He will have 15 other clubs bidding for his services. His manager wouldn’t even bother returning our voicemails

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.

You have no idea what Tigers or Rabbits offered Latrell.
JAC seems to have stayed in Melbourne because he had a contract and Storm made a deal with him, you have no idea who he will sign with for next year.
You have no idea what Stagg wants or who's phone calls his manager will return.

You can either believe everything the media prints or nothing, you can't cherry pick what you want and call it a fact.
