The only way there's an announcement is if the Storm agree to release Munster from his final year.How can there be an announcement, he does not come onto the market until November this year.

well Bennett says he knows how to handle TPJ (where have we heard that before)
and Parker reckons all he does is "ask questions and challenges people to be better"
Dolphins have signed Sull O'Seanivan apparently ..
yes.. very slowHe runs weird.
If Milf is willing to come cheap I'd say he's next. Given the Dolphins are likley to go hard for Munster at 5/8 they dont really need to blow big money on Milford. Surely Wayne isn't stupid enough to make the same mistake he did with Brisbane and try play two running halves in Milf and Munster next to eachoter?Next one likely to be Lodge or Milford?

Or does he put Milf at Fullback ahead of Issako?
IF milf doesnt perform at the knight's this year Wayne may not be interested and it could be off to England for him.
I would be waiting if I were WB to see how he comes back.If Milf is willing to come cheap I'd say he's next.

Stephen Crichton would be the only one of those on the massive deal currently, Liam Martin and Toó would be next, the other 3 would be on peanuts and wouldn't be getting a massive bump. That said, You'd almost expect to pay $2.5 for Crichton, Martin and Toó combined.From a Fox article today:
"Next season is where it will become a real balancing act with more than $2.5 million in talent off contract including NSW State of Origin winger Brian To’o, star centre Stephen Crichton, NSW Origin backrower Liam Martin, gun prop Spencer Leniu , emerging centre Izack Tago, backrower Scott Sorensen and winger Charlie Staines all free to talk with rival clubs from November 1."
What do people reckon is the 'market value' for those players? $2.5M seems awfully low for 7 players of that calibre, though obviously they wouldn't have been signed for their current value. It's just interesting to compare and contrast the above with what we're paying Kotoni, Haas, Flegs etc.
You seriously think those 3 are worth over 800k each?Stephen Crichton would be the only one of those on the massive deal currently, Liam Martin and Toó would be next, the other 3 would be on peanuts and wouldn't be getting a massive bump.

Stephen Crichton - I think Panthers will be keen to re-sign and mold him into their future fullback... probs $450-$600k
If you put your clear anti Bennett agenda aside, who do they get? Who's available? There is literally nobody available for 2023. What are they supposed to do with a limited Market? Anyone who has even the slightest clue about Rugby League can see they were sold down the river with the limited time they had to negotiate with players after their announcement.Dolphins had a full salary cap to spend and they land Sean O’Sullivan.
And people wonder why Bennett’s pulling power is questioned…
