We have been there before. Paid overs and e eryone has since whinged about it. There are only a certain few players I'd pay $750k for and Jennings isn't one of them.
Had in yesterdays paper Gould said that Penrith would be prepared to pay 200k per year to the club who takes him thats 500k for him
Smith, Slater, Inglis(fullback). Those 3 are the only players I would sign for 750k.
And the PomSmith, Slater, Inglis(fullback). Those 3 are the only players I would sign for 750k.

Thurston would come close. Not a fan but he'd come close.
You wouldn't take JT if he was available? Wow, no offence but glad you're not in charge of our recruitment.
I think we need Gagai + would be nice to get a decent centre.
Think you may have missed his Gist.I sort of agree to go all out for Jennings, with luck we are i reckon maybe only 1 or two players short of a real GF crack, lets keep the team and go for him for next year. The only other thing, we seem to have a pretty decent bunch of guys playing for each other and the club, we sort of seem to have a no "******** " policy so its a fine line between instant result and team moral decay i guess.
Was speaking to one of Gagai's teammates only last week and they said he's seriously looking at the Qld Reds.
Mind you, they all say that to drive up their price (Rah-rah tends to pay overs).
Would be a handy acquisition for us though.
Overs relative to NRL clubs, the Reds would probably consider their offer reasonable.
Of course they would - they pay way over what any of their players are worth, cos they live in a bubble with the one advantage they have over our game - a true global sport. Truth be known though - not one of their big contracts have produced anybody as good as our real stars.
