This is 1 player i'm happy for the club to pay overs to keep. A lot of our players will be retiring in the next few years so he, Todd and Wade are the future of this club.

I think he's going great guns but he still worries me a bit with a few handling errors in the play the ball. Just needs to slow down a bit sometimes, tries to play the ball too quick sometimes.

Certainly has discipline issues when someone fires him up. Plus plenty of errors

How many props in the game would have chased a kick like that in the 79th minute in a game? Same as the cover tackle against Wests at home. The man is a freak.

Ok here's a question. How much would you pay for fifitas next contract? I'd be willing to pay round 400-450k

Agree on that. I think the game v Roosters when we were getting towelled up, he was getting frustrated late in the game & I was hoping Flano was going to hook him, I was waiting for him to do something stupid & cop a suspension over it.

He deserves more than that. He is our best player atm.

He brings this form next year and he will command about 600k

I would never want to pay that much for a prop, especially after our Ricky era.
However Andrew is an exception as he brings so much more to the table than a a typical FG prop and his core role of hitups and tackling he does exceedingly well.
His support play and general football awareness is superb.

No offense, but he deserves more than the guy he replaced

That didnt even enter my mind when I come up with that. So no offense taken. 600k is a tonne of money for a prop. He has had a break out year but you dont know if he will keep his form up next year. You see it all too often.

If we could secure him for 500k it still gives us a heap more room in the cap. But if we got into a bidding war and had no option other than fork out that high amount or lose him I say pay what we can to keep him.
