Just fyi Our deal overall was 650k less than what the dragons had on the table for him. Shows how impressed he must have been with us and his desire to win a comp is truly at the forefront of his mind. Tigers didn’t take their offer away also, he simply rejected them. And was never sold on wanting to join the dogs either.

the sharks official statement doesnt mention any player swap either..
fitz has mentioned he's an addition to our leadership group, current crop and teaching our young fellas makes me think we wont be losing anyone out of this..

proves that if you scratch someones back they'll scratch yours.
warriors letting walsh back to the broncs, they bounce back with capewell
wahs taking johnson back off us and theres no steal on a player, when he was gunna leave regardless, but could have easily played that card.

fitz aint rearranging the tiles to suit the rug.

i doubt he would of even offered a player into the situation.

massive coup and statement made by the club and whoever involved.
smooth operating

I had to check it wasn’t April. Wow.

I had a silly thought the other day after Luai signed with the tigers. I thought “Stranger things could happen, who knows.”

I didn’t expect the announcement at all, let alone so quick. Hoping we can get him over for this year somehow so he doesn’t have an extra year of his legs or head.
