James Hooper: Bradman Best a good chance at signing with Parramatta

James Hooper is reporting that Newcastle are only able to offer Best $650k, with another report saying ratchet clauses would be included, while Parramatta are set to offer $850k. Also, Knights are considering moving Fletcher Sharpe to Centre with Sandon Smith at 7 and Brown at 6 once he returns.Now firstly, yeah Newcastle are losing Gagai so moving Sharpe might not seem a big deal, though they have Toby Winter and Fletcher Hunt too. So is it worth paying Best that much. I digress, with saying…

Finals attendance figures

The NRL must be stocked with the attendance this weekend... 28k on Friday, 26k in Auckland, 17k last night and plenty of empty seats for today's game. And that's despite most of the stadiums holding much larger numbers.With Souths now gone, and Newcastle without a home game, there are no other clubs that will pull big numbers. Imagine a finals series with Parra, Canterbury, St George, Souths, Brisbane, Newcastle, Wests.

Liam Martin and Jacob Preston

On NRL360 last night Braith Anasta stated that Liam Martin had given Penrith until 25 August to start negotiations and sort out his future. It was also stated that Martin is looking at a $1 million paycheck.  Now I doubt Penrith are in a position to offer such cash for Martin with the likes of Yeo and Cleary yet to put pen to paper and the Chiefs and Bears circling being cashed up.  Anasta also said that the Dogs had offered Jacob Preston a 3 year deal worth $1.9 million or as was put $630K a…

Born in Victoria he was overlooked by state selectors and moved to Adelaide to find an earlier path to Shield.He was selected and within a year he was noticed by Alan Davidson who mentioned his name to National Selectors. Just before this Lillee and co had debarked to Packer's World Cricket.So Hoggie was picked to play in the home series against the Poms and then take on the Pakistanis in the summer of 78-79.The games purists were as shocked…
