Players like Munster NEVER come to the Dogs. When have we ever signed a Premier spine player like that? We have never been a desirable club for players in this tier. Not sure we ever will be.
Correction... We have never needed to buy one because we always had one already.

I think with Munster we'd be a shot at winning a comp. Without no. Mahoney can't do it all by himself. We need to upgrade at least one our of 1,6 or 7 also. Shelves are bare for good 7s and 1s. We could go far with a spine of
1 Dufty
6 Munster
7 Flanagan
9 Mahoney
Can't see us going deep into the semis with Dufty, Burto and Flanagan as 3 of our 4 spine. Burton doesn't even have a passing game. He seems more of a finisher than a creator.

Oh ok I thought for 2023 as the dolphins are trying to sign him for 2023.
Storm don't release players unless they're getting a better deal out of it.

Wayne Bennett wants him as there marquee signing.
I think he'll try and sign him for 24 onwards and then try get Munster to agitate a release but Storm aren't a club to give in to that (usually).

Maybe your right I’ve just been hearing Munster to dolphins and how it’s almost a done deal.
Even today on 2gb they interview Lockyer and said that the broncos have spoken to Munster but 1.2 mill was out of there budget for next year(2023).

I think it could come down to who his 1,7 and 9 partners are. Right now it looks like Issako, Ray Stone and some unknown half for the Dolphins.

For us he'd have Burton, Mahoney and Duffty or the highly rated Toia.
And the coach?
