I think we need a hooker, but looking at the recent going on with Brandon Smith and now the news today about Reed Mahoney, i've got the feeling we just dont have the money for a hooker.

What's happened with Mahoney?
I suspect we do have the money, just don't want to spend it on the wrong player.

sounds like he was trying to use us to bump his contract offers ... but we weren't buying it
reportedly the Eels won't budge from their 450k a season offer, while the Bulldogs are prepared to offer 650k a year

If the Eels are deadset offering 450k they're crazy. Mahoney is quality and is a 650k player all day. I'd take him at that price happily.

That's dumb by the Eels but good to see we aren't allowing ourselves to be embarrassed pawns anymore.

Pretty much what the other posts have said, plus Ikin has come out and said we arent offering him anything because they are happy with whats here. Not so sure i believe him as they didnt offer Turpin a contract and we have been strongly linked with Hodgson.

the Eels are reportedly refusing to budge on that offer.
actually, sounds like they are fucking up their negotiations pretty badly right now.
they reportedly gave Mahoney, Gutherson and Paulo (who are all managed by Sam Ayoub) a take it or leave it ultimatum that was due to expire at the end of today ... but now they've backed down from that stance
Could end up being Ash Taylor and Milford as the dolphins halves

No to Reed Mahoney
No to Dunamis Lui
Confident on Patty
Ikin:
“Reed Mahoney won’t be coming here. There was a conversation between the club and Reed’s agent, which I think has happened with multiple clubs. Reed was a name on a list with every other high-profile player coming off-contract, but at this stage we are very happy with what we have got in the hooking position."
"The theme of stability is continuing here. Reed is a quality player and person, but we are very happy with our list and that will form the basis of what we do at the Broncos going forward. We want to get the best out of the players we have got.”
“We think Pat Carrigan can evolve into the mould of Dale Finucane. He has an enormous work ethic in games, he drives the other guys hard and we see a big future for him at the club. We would like to extend Pat and he is certainly one of them, we will be pitching hard to keep him.”
“We were keen to do something with Dunamis Lui but things have fallen through, so he is weighing up his future options.
Walters:
“Redcliffe are a threat to a lot of teams. We are very keen to keep Patty in our system. He has been a junior at the Broncos, he is a good person and a good player and we are very confident we can hang onto Patty. I don’t see too many problems there at the moment.”

The old Kevvie kiss of death hey? I guess Patty will be at the Dolphins in 2023.

Yeh I just hate when Kevvie goes on this path. I trust my twenty year-old megalomaniac daughter more with my credit card when she's out Xmas shopping.

Ikin's comments about lui are interesting. I get the sense that lui wanted a top 30 position but we would only offer a train and trial (because we want to leave a spot open).
Carrigan is priority. The others are "nice if you can" territory but i wont sweat it at this stage if they fizzle.
We need quality from hooker but i think we might see improvement regardless if we have a half like reynolds taking the pressure off their shouldiers.
I felt sorry for turpin, and macca before him who often had to deal with halves who were clueless, carrying injury, or terrified to "take the bull by the horns" for fear of stuffing up and being sacked.

Well let’s be real Dunamis probably should have taken the offer and realised that it’s a 2 horse race between him and Hoeter
