South’s set to offer Bennett a 5 year deal as head coach.

They want him and are trying to lock this deal up within the next week or two.

That's a long time, guess they're not interested in Sam.coming back. I thought they would have had a succession plan.

Roosters offering Fifita $3.3m over 4 years
What's more interesting is which is the other Sydney club chasing him, 2 clubs that spring to mind are us and manly.

Manly has the Schuster funds to play with and we have just had a 750k p/year forward retire a year early.

Doubt we are chasing him.
Some of it if not all of that $750k would be likely assigned to helping retain Williams and Iro

If you were running the club with our current roster, would you keep Williams over a chance at signing Fifita? I wouldn't.

I'm not entirely sure we will retain Williams anyway, Iro I certainly hope we do.

The thing is.. All of those allocation of funds would have been planned prior (AFB included), but the Finucane retirement was not planned. In conclusion, there's now unplanned funds available.

I don't necessarily think it will happen or we will be chasing him. It's just an interesting thought.

You need close to a mill to entice him I reckon
I honestly don’t think we have it

I don't necessarily agree. He's on 1 million just by staying at Titans. That's already his, if he wants it.

Panthers and Roosters have both offered 850K a year, but come with the potential to actually win something.

If we offered 900k a year acrosss spread across 4-5 seasons, the question will be - can we win premierships with him on our roster?
