overs ...

sounds like another Milford contract to me ... he hasn't done anything in the game to warrant that sort of contract.
I think he's shown more potential than just about anyone else to come along in the NRL. Massive deal no doubt but he was getting 1 million plus from someone.

It’s funny how there was next to no media attention about Ponga going to any other club. The media have a field day at any of our blokes coming off contract.
Take Dearden as an example, no club can even talk to him yet and the media have already blown it up to something that it really isn’t..
I expect Newcastle to get all the calls on Thursday, following the trend when we come up against anyone at the moment.

I was sure he was Broncos' bound once we freed up some cash.

In having your hopes and dreams dashed news: Ponga's just signed a four year extension - worth around $4.4 million - with the Knights.
He’s good, but he ain’t that good.

Injuries notwithstanding, IMHO, Haas and Fifita will be the most significant players of this generation, and we have one signed for absolute peanuts and should have the other locked up soon enough.

He probably couldn't hang around till 2022 when we finally do free up some cash... guessing Knights have upped his deal to a million starting next year

Big risk IMO to throw that sort of money at any player, particularly at them moment considering the current uncertainty in the economic climate and the dodgy ass secretive deal the NRL have just done with FOX.

The salary cap in two years could very well be half what it is now.

I wasn't. At Newcastle he gets paid bulk dollars, both from the club and third parties, to get gushed over by the Johns boys and kissed on the dick by the judiciary. If he came up here it's non-stop whining about TPAs, getting fucked over for minor infringements, and playing for the 43% wonder. Easy choice for mine.

If we were going to the market for a top tier fullback, i would have been looking at RTS. Could get him for cheaper, experienced leader, good support player, decent ball skills and good defender. But very unlikely to get any top tier fullbacks to leave their current clubs.

Who the **** can seriously tell me the salary cap works. Its there PURELY to help clubs who don't belong (fans, crowds, development, growth of the game) at the top, stay at the top...

Yep, the shallowest turds always float to the top in this competition.

We need to take Boyd's money and throw it at Harry Grant. Ikin namedropped us to go after Cameron Smith if he decides to play on but I want the promising young bloke, thanks.

Ikin just doesn’t want us to have the money to keep Fifita.

Roosters apparently want Herbie from 2021.

Be an astute buy, he's 21 this year and only been in the Broncos system three years. First year of an NRL contract this year so he's on not much money wise, it wouldn't take much to pry him away and he's just that good you could get a 10 year player for $200k to start with.

Brisbane has put so much money into the forwards that backs like Herbie are going to be the price to pay.

So you’re not confident he will stick around?
As a player, it would be pretty hard to knock back the roosters with their on-going success, which looks like it will continue for many years to come..
