[Strop]

Nobody wants to try and poach McBollocks from us, so that tells us everything we need to know. Lock up Turps. Now.

 

[tommy]

McBollocks

Great name.lol

 

[Xzei]

Could be a choice between turps and tpj depending on the money being thrown around.

 

[_wwong]

The broncos will let him walk and upgrade McCoughup.

In all seriousness, please don’t **** this up.

 

[Xzei]

Player option biting us in the ass

Player option biting us in the ass

not really ... we have the money to pay Turpin what he is worth.

there is nothing in McCullough's contract that says he has to be the starting hooker ... actually there is nothing in his contract that says he needs to be in the 17 each week ...

 

[Xzei]

Still 500k better spent elsewhere

 

[Alec]

I still have some reservations about Turnip. He's always playing with a lot of energy, but what will happen if he starts to lose it over the course of the season? Hopefully he'll have one of those limitless energy attributes, like some players such as Pearce, Slater, Tedesco etc. seem to have.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

We aren't exactly flush with hookers at the moment so, no.

 

[Xzei]

You don't think you could get a better hooker for next year cheaper than 500k?

 

[Xzei]

I think you could upgrade both him and turpin and still have change.

 

[Battler]

The issue is that Macca is going to take up his option.

 

[Old Mate]

Still 500k better spent elsewhere

not as bad as Boyd and Birds money.

There is no way Turpin will need or be asking for 500k, the guy was outside the top 30, was on $75,000 as development player and as a bottom level 30 has to be about 105k, has been floating around at Storm and Broncos since 2014 and is playing his fifth year of ISC, he still drinks at the Haigslea pub with his family and races dogs with his trainer sister.

Cool dog name- Watch Pulp Fiction.

He's not going in there after six games and saying need a $425,000 upgrade please. He'd high five and love a two year deal and $200,000 year.

Got a feeling Canterbury will offer him a better deal than that.

They can but Broncos won't have to to keep him. Brisbane have things Dogs can't offer, close to home, gave him his shot, great relationship with Seibold.

He's not the guy to give all that up to chase money, he's been out in the cold for so long he will take a doona he doesn't want the whole four poster bed.

Yeah I don’t think he will need that much either but I do think you could get a lot more out of that money that McCullough is on
