The handshake agreement is between JK and Politis. Was instrumental in us keeping Alamoti, back when we thought he was actually going to be amazing.
Is was Dib newbie :tearsofjoy:

Na, no way am I paying 500k for May lmao
Then good chance you don't get May.

If you pay 500k over 4, excels and plays like a 650k a year forward in the final 2 years then you basically payed him 350k in his first 2 years.

There is a possibility he may flop but the kid looks like he has the goods.

He's going to be 25 next year with what, 15-20 NRL games? Bro, 500k on a long-term deal is crazy. We can't keep paying overs for inexperienced players and then acting surprised when the team can't make it through an NRL season without shitting the bed.

You guys are crazy. You've just made up a price tag out of thin air and think we need to pay it to sign him :tearsofjoy:
At a top team and other clubs will be interested. If we compare him to other players and similar situations you can get a rough estimate of what we'd have to pay to lure him here. It doesn't really matter what the exact salary is. If we don't offer good money he'll stay at Rooster or go to another team. I mean we paid Sutton reportedly 500k so... (obviously 1 bad deal doesn't mean you make another, but May one of the best middles on the market and was monstrous in the back end of Rooster season/year).

Rudolph extended with sharks I think I saw. That list is meh as fuck. May and afb is a must. Uele goes good. Also the raiders mooney or moorey or whatever looked a goer. As did the islander lad I forget his name though think raiders close to extension I read

So people are making a big deal out of may who averages 100m per game in reserve grade, however Fauamasili averages much the same..

Rooster keeps who rooster wants. Always. Period. Money and cap is not an issue for rooster. Only way we get May is if rooster doesn’t want May.

Your not wrong but it comes down to enticing him to move.

He aint moving anywhere for 350k, 2 year deal.

I reckon he will become a very good First grader once he settles into the NRL.
