around 400k with rep bonuses

Can't see that being enough BS.

 

[deano the p]

I was thinking around 500k is where his value sits personally.

 

[slide rule]

give him 75k and go cap in hand to the NRL asking for a marquee top up.

 

[sharks2010]

for 600k walker can tell his story walking, worth no where near that

a player is worth as much as someone will pay him. I reckon he would get 600k but personally I wouldn't pay him anymore then 400k

 

[Bundy Shark]

Can't see that being enough BS.

Maybe not but surely there aren't too many teams that are 400k under the cap this time of year, I realize a deal can be back ended so whatever he signs on for in year one can sort of be irrelevant for his total tenure but surely for 400k, the roster we have, the area he might end up living in would surely put us in the mix.

Best of all, not to forget Flano's coaching style where we love to give our backs open & early ball & play attacking footy.

 

[snowman]

What do you think he's worth? 21 years old, Australian rep, great ability, he's going to be attracting good money.

Please, he got in that team with the worst injury crisis Australia has seen

he was no where near the city country team this year let alone a rep team when there were no injuries

400-450 with rep bonuses that you would be comfortable he wouldnt get anyway

 

[sharks2010]

People over rate him because he made the aus side. He's good but people hold him on a higher pedestal then what he actually is. Saying all that I'd still love him to come to us

 

[Bundy Shark]

& when he played for Australia he looked like he was owned, granted he was only a young fella but he didnt look like he belong there, he is still a few years way from even getting close to demanding selection.

 

[slide rule]

How is he following his near death experience?

There's probably a reason why they are unloading him.

 

[snowman]

he wouldnt have been picked but list all the players not available

sione mata'utai played in that team ffs

Yeah the reason is burgess

nothing to do with the big fat headed pom they just spent 1.8mil on?

Lol sione. Played 7 first grade games before it or something. Thats says it all for the make up of that team

well the souths board issued him a show cause notice apparently so they are probably using it as a way of not having to chip in for his salary at a new club

 

[SharkShocked]

Eh he will be off to Manly.

 

[slide rule]

Of course it does, but they do have choices as to who they unload.

 

[HaroldBishop]

They lost Stewart and Luke don't forget. A bit of cash freed up there.

they could just as easily unload mcqueen and grant

souths also upgraded keary, reynolds and walker amongst others, and then got mcinnes to renig on his deal

lukes money was used for the upgrades, stewarts money wouldnt cover fat head

Losing Teo would have helped with the upgrades. Either way they will need to shed a player or two. Hopefully we benefit.
