But they offer much more in commitment, especially when the going gets tough

If dragons took on his reported 450 then happy days. But that makes me concerned…what did we kick in or what’s coming our way in return. Surely they aren’t that desperate.

I actually think he'll come on eventually....
Not comparing them at all....
But I also remember when the Sharks signed Fifita from WT's reserve grade....
First year was ordinary - 2nd year came on.
I also remember Heighno (And maybe some others) Being sent back to ressies after winning the comp.
Really hard to tell with Middles, Some of them take a bit of time to get going
- Musgroves time out of the game and the new pace certainly hasn't helped....
He has the odd decent game in him, Just needs to do it every week....
He also seemed to be gassed early in our games....
But I also thought that of the most of our 17 from week to week.
I think our training intensity is well below the standard of the other teams, And has been for some time. It's evident in the body language during the game - It's been mentioned by players after they've left - And any new player seems to come in and coast with the rest of them.
Then he gets suspended for the stupidest shoulder charge.
Griffen hasn’t signed one player contracted to another club without ensuring they are getting a discount. The only one we may of escaped from dropping some cash for is Liddle.
450k wow I thought we were paying a bit but i was expecting just under 300k my god have we made some bum deals.
Yes I have no doubt we would be giving the dragons at least 200k a season of it.

He was on over 400k with us, and highly doubtful Dragons took him on full pay. I'd say we're chipping in 100k a year for the next 2 seasons but that's just my educated guess.
The Dragons were the reason we signed him for 4 years at good money because they pushed so hard for him when he was coming off contract. So they'll presumably still see value in him, and if they did pay full freight then that's great business for us.

The POM stated that we forced Musgrove to go because St George offered full freight.
