Don't you mean "Cooks manager isn't happy with the amount that Souths are offering, so is pretending to ship him around to raise his price?

https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/cook-chasing-a-4m-payday-to-stay-at-souths-20181103-p50ds8.html

He wants $4 million over 5 years apparently.

$750,000 for the second best hooker in the game and one that is a genuine game breaker seems reasonable to me tbh.

Anyone given any thought?

Could come handy if Broncos chip in and we need a centre if he can stay fit and Broncos pay half his salary could be a win for us since he wants to come back to Sydney anyway.


What's your thoughts?

Only the dogs pay players to play at another club

 

[The DoggFather]

Is he still alive?

 

[Baseball Furies]

I’ve always thought he was overrated, he’s not a 5/8 and that’s why he will continue to fail at the Broncos, fit or not.

He’s seems a solid centre, but I think the Beoncos have got a massive dud on there hands that will be hard to move at the $$$ they’ve shelled out.

 

[Howard Moon]

Don't rate him at all... Sharks made him look good

Would be handy pickup however he would need to have a reality check in regards to contract demands

Flop Bird one of senile Bennett's best signings in recent years

Won't think he will be in demand considering he wants to come back to Sydney and Broncs are willing to offload him, and if they want to keep him I'll make a play for katoni staggs from them.

James Robert would be good

And still better than any of Despots signings...

Desaster & Clown Cleal couldn't identify junior talent

At least Bennett can hold onto players like Isaako. Where as Desaster & Co let Cook walk with out a fight.

If Des was here he would of kept Mumbai & Fraudley in the halves over Lewis.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Fat ****, ego, rheumatoid arthritis...no thanks.

 

[Howard Moon]

James Robert would be good

Roberts goes missing in most games... he has a decent highlight reel but doesn't offer much besides when he is in clear space imo

 

[doggieaaron]

$1 mill for a dud no thanks hes a centre but wants fb money $500k thats it

 

[Bulldog_4_Life]

I'd take him if Broncos pay at least 30% of his contract.

 

[terrylamb4lyfe]

Overweight, on a million dollars and played out of position.

30% paycut would be still too generous. How about a 50% paycut.

I dont think overrated players who are on huge money are something the club should look at. Our team is young and bird isnt going to help us win anytime soon. We should be using the warchest to poach the best juniors from other clubs.

 

[Mr Shhh]

Worse signing in the history of signings. Makes the West Tigers signing of Reynolds look like a master stroke.

 

[B-Train]

Are we just so accustomed to being a rabble and feeder club for the power clubs (we were one until we had 4 NRL appointed CEO's in a row) that we only aspire to signing more rejects from other clubs?

All while losing our best players?

The way the NRL is run is pathetic but the way our club is run is even worse.

Until this new board proves that they will handle this situation with some balls and smarts and we come out of this better than before, then they get no benefit of the doubt from me as I'm worried that we've officially become Parramatta during the Dennis Fitzgerald years..

 

[Bulldog_4_Life]

Would anyone take one of the Burgess twins, apparently they may be on the outer as Bennett doesn't want to spend big money on forwards, plus him wanting to bring down TPJ.
