So Simms signs with the Broncos for 85K.

On top of Benji for not much more.

Whilst I am not fussed about either player, whatever happened to the "market value " rule ?

yep, i agree.

Wow, if that's true it's one of the most blatantly corrupt usages of the salary cap that I can think of.

No way in hell korbin takes 85k

Benji isn't worth 85k these days. Wayne must be getting senile.

Agree. Remember early last season when the Saints offered Benji 300k and he turned it down lolz.

How he got there in the first place was blatant favouritism by the NRL and I reckon illegal.

His footwork would have improved trying to avoid Gal's punches.

Ha ha he would take off on one of his cross field goose stepping runs, making no metres towards the sideline, only for lewy to punch him in the head as he got close enough.
So glad the drags were allowed to have 26 players that year and out bid us.

I actually lobbied to sign him as someone who could fill the role of a non match winning halfback servicing a high end 5/8. If the club listened to my advice we would probably still be without a premiership. I should ban myself lol.

Agreed plus the nines will be well suited to the fringe hookers (who at this point will make up our starting hooker) we have.
