Official Thomas Hazelton

Tommy not worth anything more than 350-400k max.

Agree BUT I would rather lose Toby and BHU than Tommy tbh

BHU and Toby are too wishy washy and are too expensive at this point

Agreed with Uele, said this before if he doesn't find form by the mid way point of next season i would be doing whatever i can to get him moved on before june 30th.

Yeah agreed. We've over spent on our middle for what we're getting back, and we can't afford to keep putting that out of whack. Ideally, Rudolf and Uele both have great years and we can potentially let one of them sign a new deal elsewhere and leave a year early without any cost to us so we can get this back into better balance. If we could do that and keep Tommy on 400 we'd have done very well.

He won't sign that if he believes in himself. Two years on $300k would be good.

 

[stormshark]

Old Lodgey Boy still believes in himself, but doubt he gets much more than Manly offering

$600 is obviously ridiculous but I reckon he will only get better. Yes he had a flat patch but was playing injured. He's weirdly dynamic and has even added a little ballplaying to his game. Honestly reckon he could be a top 10 prop in ~5 years.

 

[stalefish]

offer him a cupley years at 350k and tell him if you prove yourself worthy you can have ueles contract when it expires

A fit Uele offers more than Hazelton imo

 

[vicsharkfan]

Yep we will give you 600k but will pay it over two years. Mooney’s a smart operator he knows that we need to be able to pounce on a fullback if one pops up, love will and still have high hopes for dykes but we need someone to take us to the next level.

 

[stormshark]

Love the Nut, but $35o k too much at this stage imho.

Not sold on Tuks yet, but agree on Kaufusi. I think a middle of AFB, Kaufusi, McInnes, Talakai, Colquhoun is a good base. Between BHU and Toby for the next two years, Tuks and some decent middle talent coming through I wouldn't be paying big money for anyone else. We need to get better value out of our 5th/6th best middles moving forward IMO. Ideally when BHU/Toby come off contract we either retain them way cheaper if they are going well, or sign someone cheaper in their place.

I think Tuks takes Hunt's type of role in the future. He is a beast. Was our best forward in the NSW cup. Jesse C I do have high hopes for if he can stay on the field, but ultimately our 2 starting props for the next 3 years should be kaufusi and AFB.

It would definitely make the salary cap auditor do a double take!
