I very much doubt he is on any more then 300kBecause they signed him on an inflated contract on potential.

Not all we wish for we get...I'd be trying to offload dallin, not resign hoppa and make staggs happen... He is a competitor, I call him a footballer... Plays tough. Probably barba was the last time we had someone that was exciting to watch and had the potential to make something happen any time he had the ball no matter where he was on the field..... A game winner
Thats what I would suggest. Hardly overs for a regular first gradercapable of playing a couple of positions.Meaney is believed to be on around 300k.
just because we have been managing our cap well, doesn’t mean we should now stuff up our hard work and throw stupid money on a centre.We've saved money on our whole spine. Fairly cheap fullback, and our 2 halves. If we miss out on B. Smith (which is very likely) and we go with someone like Dietz we'll save even more. Yes there will be upgrades in the future IF we play really well but lets play well before we concern ourselves with that. It's not a guarantee. There will be plenty of money freed up in future in the next couple of years also when DWZ and Jackson come off contract. Staggs is one of the most dangerous in attack in the whole NRL. He can create from nothing and convert half chances when others would fail. We need more players like that no matter what position they play. I think he's worth 750K if we paid 650K for Cotric. If we shed Hopa (which we definitely should IMO) that will take care of the majority of his salary so what's the fuss ?.
An okay centre? He’s the best one in the game. Burton and Staggs would be lethal together. Every club would offer Staggs a mint. He’s worth it trust me.For $800k we can sign the likes of Damien Cook and Cameron Munster. If we pay $800k for an okay Centre, that will be suicide for our club. We will be back to where we started with the Des cap mess. I hope this is just rumours by his manager to milk more cash from the broncos
Lewis is on how much...just because we have been managing our cap well, doesn’t mean we should now stuff up our hard work and throw stupid money on a centre.
This is all well and true, but we also have some very capable youngsters coming through in Schoup, and Alomoti. If Schoup gets a run in fg this year and kills it, would we really need Staggs? Then we also have to make space for Alomoti. Or would you be prepared to see him walk?We've saved money on our whole spine. Fairly cheap fullback, and our 2 halves. If we miss out on B.

Piss DWZ off there should be enough to spread around....The info we have for 2022...
1 Allen..................$450k *
2 JAC....................$550k *
3 Cotric.................$650k
4.............................................
5 DWZ...................$800k approximately
6 Burton................$500k *
7 Flanagan............$350k *
* Expect a demand of upgrade if we are successful...that's what usually happens !
How much can we really afford to pay for Staggs ???
We are interested in him !!!
The demands are the obstacle...
Brisbane have plenty of brown paper bags
He is way better then "ok"! But I agree, we can't be spending 800k on him. I call bullshit.For $800k we can sign the likes of Damien Cook and Cameron Munster. If we pay $800k for an okay Centre, that will be suicide for our club. We will be back to where we started with the Des cap mess.

Okos on 150Thats what I would suggest. Hardly overs for a regular first gradercapable of playing a couple of positions.
How do you figure he is on the same money as Lewis???Lewis is on how much...
Staggs on basically the same amount I know which one I prefer and it’s not Lachlan!
Just because you don't rate him? He can play fb and wing, and is a regular in our side. How much do you think he is worth?Okos on 150
Meaney not worth anything near 300
Much less than thatJust because you don't rate him? He can play fb and wing, and is a regular in our side. How much do you think he is worth?
Easier said than done !!!Piss DWZ off there should be enough to spread around....
Cook's current contract signed in 2018 until 2023 is $900k per year. Munster signed a 4 year deal in 2018 for $3.6m, that's also $900k. If they signed a contract today they both would be over $1m.For $800k we can sign the likes of Damien Cook and Cameron Munster. If we pay $800k for an okay Centre, that will be suicide for our club. We will be back to where we started with the Des cap mess. I hope this is just rumours by his manager to milk more cash from the broncos
Well whatever Lewis is on he’s on too much! He ain’t on less than 500k! Staggs is a genuine game breaker.How do you figure he is on the same money as Lewis???

Without Staggs, JAC would be the only real star player we have next year (I'm talking about Australian or State of Origin rep) Cotric couldn't even make the NSW 17. If the Bunnies can afford Mitchell, Gagai, Walker, Reynolds, Murray. Cook, Arrow all on huge money, The Roosters Tedesco, Keary, Manu, Cordner, etc, the Panthers, Crichton, Luai, Cleary, Yeo etc all on huge money we'd have to be able to afford 1 player on 800K. Storm have Munster, Papa, Grant. Why are these teams all favs to win the comp ? Because they have "multiples" of the best players in the comp. I really don't understand people complaining if we sign a few. There's no guarantee players like Averillo, Schoupp, etc are going to be superstars. Do we want to compete for top 4 or just remain average or below ?just because we have been managing our cap well, doesn’t mean we should now stuff up our hard work and throw stupid money on a centre.
