You need to let that comment go mate. It was off the cuff made months ago and have you noticed how we don’t say shit about recruitment. Who knows if the comment was true or to get reporters off our back, throw the scent etc. Remember the other players we were linked to and then got DWZ without the media having a clue?
Even if we wanted 2/3 they all turned us down because we wouldn’t and couldn’t offer them enough money. Doesn’t that make it clear for you we don’t have a spare million kicking around?
So I should ignore what the coach actually said because it doesn’t suit a poster on the kennels agenda?
Don’t think so mate.
He didn’t say it for some mind game bs or whatever you want to float it as to help make it seem like a master stroke.
Dwz stuff has nothing to do with this.
I agree we likely couldn’t match both api and raimens offers. They both between them
Got 1mil+.
Though we also weren’t going to offer them 200k !
API was meant to be a done deal only to change at the end with Barrett according to the media and people here. He doesn’t walk from a manly contract on big $ for fun.
Raimen was chased too. We know he took 500k+ at sharks. Once again let’s say we didn’t offer that much. We still weren’t offering peanuts. I’d say it’s safe 350-400k was
On the table.
Ditto for api.
700-800k minus Katoa onminimum
Leaves......
Pretty simple maths.
Then as I said originally forans 350k is
Coming to play with at some stage. That’s not a doubt, he’s gone for the time. When we get it is a different question altogether.
How it is used is another fucking nightmare.
Api and Raimen where targets.
Latrell? Would of been amazing.
Scott and tetevano would be how I’d try now.
Bj and Frawley is what’s reported [emoji23]
