Don’t forget Piakura, Riki and Capewell in that pack.

Yeah I was just including middles but you are right and then Te Kura coming through as well.
 
I love Haas. But the man doesn’t seem happy. Also isn’t worth 1 mill but as Kenty says “you’re worth what someone’s willing to pay you”. Someone out there will be desperate enough to pay him a mill. Could be us yet. But the reality is Payne is a freak and probably as good a Prop we have ever seen and sadly the results just don’t lean our way. We have a high quality spine money on a player who isn’t getting results. Not Payne’s fault he plays at 100%, props just aren’t worth that sort of dough.
 
Yeah I'm with ya and if Munster was open to it (I don't think he is), it would be a pretty attractive proposition for Melbourne too. We go there and say, hey we want to swap Haas for Munster and we'll subsidise some of his deal (not much mind you) if we make it happen for '23.

Even without Haas, we have a pretty good engine room still in Carrigan, Flegs, Willison, Jensen, Palasia and Hetherington. We could always pick up a Q Cup player or two as well.
Jensen and Palasia made close to Haas numbers against one of the best teams in the comp on nearly a quarter of the price Haas is on.
A Munster for Haas swap would be us ripping the storm off

No it wouldn’t. The Storm aren’t going to keep him I don’t reckon. They won’t budge from 750. Haas off the back of Grant, Hughes, Papenhuyzen and alongside Welch, NAS, Olam, Coates and up and comers like Howarth, McDonald and Loeiro. They would take that deal and run.
 
I just really want Walsh “back”
Munster is going to be too expensive.
I want both of them. If the rorters can have a spine of Bsmith, Keary, Walker, Tedesco next year, we can afford Walsh and Munster. The club may have to book a few golf courses however.

Edit: the storm also have at least 2 spine players on a mil plus, possibly three.

The third one at the storm got a head knock that one time and so he is only on 600k.

Bear in mind the Roosters also have Manu as a first choice back up who would walk into any other team's spine.

or you could keep Haas and move on flegler and keep palasia,Carrigan,jenson and bring in willison and you should be pretty good money wise and still have a strong rotation.

But the whole key to this is an attractive proposition to Melbourne. Now I'm a fan of Flegs obviously but a swap of Flegs for Munster just isn't going to interest Melbourne. There is no way Melbourne will let Munster go next season (he is still contracted remember) unless they get something big out of it themselves and that is good business (unlike giving Walsh away for nothing).
 

IF this happens will be amazing.

Maybe we use Reno to bait him across, the Melbourne connection of Dave Donaghy, KW with his QLD inspirations.

I doubt it but one can hope

This is the definition case of "I'll believe it when I see it", and when I see it it'll be Munster sitting at the press conference wearing our colours.

Personally I think all of it is bullshit and he'll stay at Melbourne as a one club player for unders.
 

Wait...that bit about Munster...what? Did he really say, 'yeah but that's a long way off'??? He did not avoid that question well at all.

I think he just meant Munster coming off contract is a long way off. As usual with Kev he mumbled an extra 2 sentences for no reason, probably because he didn't have a table in front of him to wipe down.
 
id rather play the long game **** poaching players get out development right and promote from with in.

He looks the same as he always has - a guy focused on becoming the best player he can be.
 
1.3m? Lmao

He had a blinder on the weekend but he isn’t worth nearly that much. And if the Storm can’t pay more than 750k and he won’t play for Brisbane why would the Dolphins pay that amount?

Anyway talking of swaps my dream swap would be Flegler for a homesick Walsh
