I read somewhere that FOX are kicking in more $ because there will be 12 more games .

Trying to figure out how this is - with only one new team ?

There'll be new Forum Favourites games. Here, teams will be created by taking players from the most posted-to team forums, playing off for actual points that will contribute to their respective NRL teams.

Well the new team will play 24 games, but each game will be against someone who would have otherwise been playing the bye team so it doesn't generate a full 24 new games.

Currently in reg season every team plays 24 games so 192 total games for 16 teams
If 17 teams play 24 games each that is 204, 12 more

Would be an odd move for him to tie himself to another club at this stage when he's likely to increase his value over the season.
Even odder to tie yourself to a club you don't even know where they will be based then (although NZ would be the assumption).

It’s not a development deal. He is on a top 30 contract for 2022.

If he wants to go, I say let him go. He was one of Bomber’s guys. If he’s not in the plans for the new coach don’t stand in his way.
