LOL Dragons have basically said we're desperate but not that desperate when asked about Nofa.

Imagine staying with the tigers through all that ****, then kicking up a stink when they are finally on the up.

Imagine giving up the easiest 700k you'd ever earn

I wonder if he just thought bigger clubs would be fawning over him after the Melbourne stint. Forgetting that they were at the depths of an injury crisis and desperate for backs.

Yes, this is true but, remember, they wanted to keep him. The Tigers said no. Pig headed decision by the Tigers that would have avoided the recent/current sh*t storm.

Eh. The tigers aren't exactly stacked in the outside backs. Saying no at the time made sense. It's only since acquiring Olam that they've pushed this through. I don't think that's a coincidence.

I doubt Melbourne were offering to take him on full freight?

Seems like it's the other way around... The Tigers put up with him until they'd sorted enough of their **** out to get rid of him.

 

[Thresher]

I'd like to see him take up a career in boxing

Olam and a lot more experience in all their other young guys

And if it's a cultural change they're looking for it sounds like Olam and Nofu are polar opposites.

You really have a mean streak, haven't you?

Bradman Best re signs with the Knights. 2.1 mil for 3 years.

This seems reasonable with the cap going up.

 

[stalefish]

also not a bad price considering other clubs would have been circling

next best offer was the bali baloos

Almost a perfect match for the early stages of Flanno's rebuild

Dogs freeing up space for the May brothers

Yep he’s joining them effective immediately. Length of deal hasn’t been mentioned yet. Would have to be for 2 years minimum as that’s what he had left at the dogs. Interesting to see how much the dogs are chipping in for him.

Yeah you'd think it'd be a decent amount as they clearly didn't want him

He was on decent coin there. Think he was on close to 600k a year.

edit** fox sports has his deal at 800k a season which was written in December 2023.
