He’s 27 so 3 years is no issue. Besides why would you only sign him for 2?10 clubs are preparing offers for junior Paulo. Would love him here but he’s asking 800k and wants minimum 3 years.
Give him Fifitas money10 clubs are preparing offers for junior Paulo. Would love him here but he’s asking 800k and wants minimum 3 years.
I would. I do wonder if it's smart money for Eels to pay top dollar for both of their props and if they can or should match what other clubs might offer.Give him Fifitas money

You have to get in line behind Tank I think. He really hates them.I would. I do wonder if it's smart money for Eels to pay top dollar for both of their props and if they can or should match what other clubs might offer.
Knights looking weaker next year which is great news, now need Ponga to go to the Dolphins in 2023 and they'll go back a few notches. Hate the Knights.

Each to their own I supposeIs only going over there for the poodles
He's doing well now (arguably hit his peak), but I'd question a long contract for that type of player. So many of those big, dynamic guys burn out and you're stuck with a decent forward chewing up your cap. Fif's was arguably great value from 2012-18. Paulo looks like he starting hitting his straps in 2016...? Hard to tell with all the suspensions.offer fifitas current contract to paulo and give him 4 years
he is a phenomenal player
Fair concern but he's only 28, so 29 when he'd join us if we signed him. So a 4 yr contract will have him 32 going on 33 later that year.He's doing well now (arguably hit his peak), but I'd question a long contract for that type of player.

(this is all Wiki reading so someone might have been watching him more closely and have an opinion - have at it lads).
Turns 28 soon.Fair concern but he's only 28, so 29 when he'd join us if we signed him. So a 4 yr contract will have him 32 going on 33 later that year.
So similar age to what Fifita is now.
There's risk but currently he's injury free.
A contract like Finucane's could be the go. 900k, 900k, 800k, 650k so averages out to over 800k per year but the last year isn't as much of a hit and we pay the most in his prime years.
Weird example given he specifically was on more like 600k not 800-900 but I guess I agree with the statement.it's when you are paying an Aaron Woods kinda forward that sort of money you are in trouble
Was going to mention JT but I'm not sure if he needs to be nursed or if it's just cautionary. That guy is a freak when used properlyForwards as a rule don't last long at the pinnacle of their game.
See Taumalolo. On a $10 million 10 year contract. That can screw your cap for a long time.
It's not a horrible idea from a squad PoV, but I'm not sold on CHT as an NRL 7. I prefer him at 6.What would everyone think of swapping metcalf for Chanel Harris tavita?
He’s a true 7 and will be stuck behind Sj and possibly ash Taylor at the warriors.
He could provide competition for trindall and give the squad a more balanced look?
