Frizell is 31..!
I guess it makes sense but I thought he was younger.

No longer interested unless it's on a mature age Tolman type contract for 1 year. He'd still have a lot to offer depth and experience wise.

TBH I'd have guessed 32/33

He's taken up a PO to stay there, I doubt it's anything like min wage but could be a touch friendlier than what he initially signed current deal for - $700k is what the journos say. Taking up a PO at that age instead of trying for a 3 year contract as a not too long ago rep player pretty much screams to me he knows he's on the slide.

I'd want them to be covering any (most) difference between Miller and him if we took Friz. We could maybe give him a much smaller deal for another year or two if we actually want him.

Last year he still played mostly 80, went about 28-2 on average for tackles (Nikora 32-3) and ran 99m from 11 runs average (Nikora 73m from 9) but as far as right edges go he's probably dropping and Nikora hopefully on the up. Friz was okay to decent in a **** team but well short of his days where he was an obvious SOO selection.

They won't bump Graham to play him on the bench which only leaves the role of a lighter bench middle (103kg). He would play that role okay but we have a bunch of dudes already that can play it (Dale 102kg, Williams 98kg & Graham 96kg when Wilton is on, not to mention McInnes), obviously plus the heavier boys like Hunt, BHU, Kaufusi and Rudolf (108) is kind of in the middle. If Fitz wants another forward I'd assume it is probably someone to join the big boys as the lighter guys probably have sufficient depth/quality, especially with Colquhoun (106) perhaps well ahead of Hazelton (116) in pecking order, I assume.

However Fitz has shown love for a well behaved, well respected, high effort leader and might be keen to add another to his collection and worry about fitting the pieces later.

I have no interest in their other second rower if he is on offer.

The offer is believed to be around 750k a year for 4 years.

If it’s not a million I’m watching them play for a few months this season before I sign ****
Last thing Jesse wants is to find himself watching the left side play football all season for a **** team

Yeah I think he'd be mad to go given what happened last time he left.

He's said he loves the joint, we have a good coach, good squad, should be a finals team for years to come.

An extra 100k p.a (assuming we'd give him 650k) isn't anything to be sneezed at, but 4 years is a long time to be unhappy. As I've said before, the Tigers have the three blokes in charge responsible for years of shitness.

Good luck.

Not a bad shout. Would pair well with Edrick. Connor can’t pass and edrick struggles to catch. I reckon they’d balance each other out.

Edricks got long arms he’d probably find it easier reach for a Connor than pass than most - even he’d struggle to stretch from Redcliffe to Tigers though

I’m back a couple pages thinking about Redcliffe. Still a better take than snowman’s rumours though.

He’d have rep money to consider too. Ramien at the sharks is not far off playing origin IMO, but who knows if his form will stay that way at the tigers. There’s good money in origin footy.
