Thanks for your reply. But if clubs are prepared to pay that for Peter O'Sullivan plus his network, won't other clubs have to match the investment to remain in the race for talent? I make no comment about the offers as those clubs obviously are in a position to assess the situation.

Especially Brisbane .....they have an abundance of players to chose from

But I must admit their recruitment and retention and identification of junior talent has been poor for a long time

I reckon you could pick an ex Broncos side that would flog the current Broncos side

Courier Mail article -Walters Cup schoolboy Team of the Season​

UNSUNG HERO AWARD​

Ashton Whyte (Redcliffe SHS)​

Whyte made the Sunshine Coast representative side but was injured at the state titles which robbed him of some matches.

But when he played for Redcliffe, it was time to make up for lost time. He was able to cover lock and hooker where he was as tough as an old boot.

Whtye had a high ethic.

Saw an article saying he's one of the fittest up and coming players in the junior grades of Q cup.

Also stated he has utility value.

I believe we may have unearthed out very own Kurt Donoghoe / Max Plath / Ray Stone.

One to watch.

I’d rather eat dirt than live in Bondi, but that’s just me. Bondi isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but everyone makes out that’s it’s the best place on earth. It’s far from it, imo.

Nah it’s a shit hole . Shit beach , people everywhere , 45 mins to go 2km. The reality is though it’s 10 mins to central station on a good day , and as such has all the corporate support . Because what do rich people want more than anything? For other rich people to acknowledge how rich they are . That’s why they all live there . The roosters and the swans have done a good job of tapping into this narcissism .
That’s what I mean by geographical lottery .its proximity to the top end of town . Not the place itself . Much better beaches, and nicer places , north and south of there.

Not necessarily.
Peter O’Sullivan has no doubt been a very good recruiter for a long period of time, so yes it would be nice to have him, but that’s not to say much younger, emerging recruitment managers cannot be very switched on and do just as good a job as what he can.
As fans all we see is who turns up at each club, we don’t see all the negotiating and groundwork behind it.
I’m prepared to make judgment at the end of next season on how well we are doing from the ownership group to the CEO to the Coach and Rugby League staff which includes our medical staff, physio’s, strength and conditioning and our recruitment and retention team.
Results in 2027 and how our playing roster is shaping for 2028 will define them.

It has been reported he is being offered 2.5 million.
He’s good, not 2.5 million good.
You could employ a very big recruitment team with that money.

Literally built the knights , before that the premiership winning cowboys , after that and before the knights , built the dolphins from ground up , prior to the cowboys he built the roosters system that was all conquering for ages ? Did I miss anyone . But yes he’s not worth it ..:…
This type of logic is why our owners are the worst in the league . Every other club worth their salt thinks he’s worth it … tight arse HBG? YoU CoUlD buY a WhOlE dEpaRtmEnT fOr ThAT.
Stupidity times a million

No rival NRL team is outbidding the Broncos or Roosters, the Eels were apparently trying very hard to get him and were unsuccessful.

‘I want to challenge myself’: Is Cameron Munster ready to play for a Sydney club?

The Queensland captain is one of 11 Kangaroos players free to talk to rival clubs on November 1, which falls in the middle of the World Cup.
www.smh.com.au www.smh.com.au

“Manly have so many halves they are prepared to release Luke Brooks a year early if he can land a deal, South Sydney do not have an established playmaker beyond 2027, but are busy trying to extend several stars, while the Wests Tigers do not have a top-line half, but would not appeal to Munster at this stage of his career.”

Ouch lol
