Not fussed if we don't get him. Will eat too much salary cap and is very risky given his inconsistency.
We have to sign someone and he's by far and away the best available. He also addresses a couple of weaknesses (offloads and impact).
Going into next year with Gildart and Hastings as our major signings will be a complete disaster.
The attitude of "we have to sign someone" is exactly what got us in this salary cap mess. The club appears to have decided to take the patient approach, and Madge confirmed that when he said we will be not looking at a "quick fix, bandaid approach".
Titans still suck with Fifita and Tino. Bulldogs still suck with Thompson, Flanagan, Cotric, and Allan. Look at the top teams and how many "big name" signings they made in the prior few years.
Well it’s taking us from a salary cap mess to a no one wants to play for us mess because 1. We’re rubbish, from pretty much top to bottom as an organisation and 2. We won’t pay overs for anyone.
All these youngsters will leave after their first deals because their clearly isn’t any intent to drastically improve the team anytime soon
Pangai is not the guy to pay overs on, we already went past what we wanted to pay. If he goes to the dogs for more than so be it.
I want him here, because he would add mongrel, but WHY are the bronc's letting him go early?
