Because stats tell the full story righthttps://i.imgur.com/w8SRPfh.png
That is how close Api and JMK are. Only difference is that Api scores tries in 12% of games and JMK scores in 7%. Everything else is effectively the same. People talk up Api cause he's in a good team this year but if JMK was there he'd do a very similar job. Nobody was talking Api up when Manly were going shite the past few years.
But 500K or thereabouts is certainly not the bank by any stretch. Of the top 5 clubs he'd be the cheapest. He's 26/27, in his prime. He had one injury season in 2018 and Manly came equal last, the other season are not as bad (the year he played 24 they came 6th). Hes 18 of 23 this year. He would have been a great foil for JMK, starting and doing the dirty work (his defence is top notch) and letting JMK develop. He also can fill in at half. The facts state he would have been a good buy.
Also the intangibles say he would have had similar effects as DWZ has had for us this year.
