    • Isnt all this just speculation i cant find anywhere where there any reference to this 

    • Lorenzo Talataina has some potential but realistically, he might never be ready for the NRL. He is a project player. I mean, if he was as good as Sanders or Talagi, he wouldn't have agreed to the deal he signed, which included the first two years in the development list. He isn't top 30 until 2028 and almost certainly on minimum salary! A high quality SG Ball half with genuine NRL potential would never sign a three year deal for so little money. They would have NRL clubs throwing decent money at them, including the opportunity to go straight into the top 30 (and get paid as such).

      Every NRL club would throw Talataina style contracts (2 years dev + 1 year minimum top 30 salary) at all their quality SG Ball kids, but the best ones would turn them down because their managers know they can get something better. That's why Talagi and Sanders were off contract when they were. Talagi would be on over half a million a year and Sanders wouldn't be on much less. If they were still at our club on development deals they should be suing their managers for negligence. There just wasn't as much demand for Talataina because of his size. He might never make it in the NRL. Talagi and Sanders were sure things.

      • Totally agree, as Burt Kenny said  if you have potential and a cup of coffee your worth the value of the coffee, don't talk about juniors as the 2nd coming, they've obviously all got potential,  otherwise they wouldn't be there. If they are super special get em in grade, we are now in a position to progress we have to buy what we need, another 2-3  years of waiting on " potential " isn't good enough, though in truth not sure Burton is worth 1 million

"Assuming Drown is getting paid $1.3M/year, that's a guaranteed $13M until he is 35 years old. How much would we have had to pay, and for how long, to make the Knights deal anything other than a no brainer? A five year deal would have him off…"
