Also 700k max for JAC. I'm expecting something in the 600-700k range. That's overs not fullback money but I'd give him first crack at fullback given our current roster too.
to me it sounds like storm are calling the shots in regards to the like for like replacement for JAC. So money it seems would not be a major part wouldnt it? So if the storm are happy with Smith, hell throw in Lewis, then i would think we could get him around the $600k mark.

I just don’t think he has the footy smarts to be a top hooker. You just have to hear him talk.

Great running game but not a great passer, kicker or decision maker.
Sounds like Joel Romelo but he didn’t have the running game either

so your source is either a director or a board member because those are generally the only execs that would attend a board meeting ;)

thanks for the info :grinning:

My insider has confirmed we're definitely back negotiating with Addo-Carr (and Burton).

JAC initially wanted 800K a season which the club thought was too much. Hopefully he'll come down (even Souths or the Tigers couldn't afford that I think).

Media reports about a potential swap with Reimis Smith are correct but Reimis is only on around 250K (I thought he would be on more actually) so JAC would be a "considerable" upgrade.

Oh and we're not pursuing Stephen Crichton (unfortunately). He's considered already locked up by the Panthers.

Other than Arthur Laundy having a few friendly words with Harry Grant recently we're not in deep discussion with a hooker at this stage (we're probably waiting for Cam Smith's decision then Grant and B Smith's decision plus November 1).

My contact doesn't know exactly how much we have left to spend. He's attending a board meeting tomorrow so he might find out then but I only speak to him occasionally (he's a very busy man) so I might not be able to get that info or not for a while at least sorry.
Dead set, journo's are hacking your computer right now..

Big news from Barrett, Lewis will be playing lock next year, Wakeham is hooker.
Burton is a done deal will confirm next week. JAC will also be confirmed. Remis smith swap, Melbourne to pay $250k of his salary. $500k a year is the offer a upgrade in 2022.
Awesome if true...
Get fucked if it's not lol

No mention

No mention of us seriously pursuing a hooker yet but I think it will come if either Grant or B Smith declare they are leaving the Storm. Daryl Clarke might be a back up option.
Cam McInnes would be a worthwhile alternative if the coin was right & dragons would let him go...Possibly not as dynamic as melb alternatives but better than a average hooker in the nrl..
Not heard anything to indicate he wod be available..just like his pump n passion...
