Anasta isn't Kalooamatangi's agent, so not sure why his opinion of a deal he's no part of trumps every other media outlet & journalists information.
But, both Cap and I were purely asking as to see / hear what he said about it.
No one is arguing why he signed with the Dragons, no need for the insults - it's either an extra year at 1m per season or the 1.2m if Anasta got this correct on the podcast, and wrong himself on NRL360, and every other media outlet & journo for this wrong the entire time.
If it's 1.2m, along with Metcalf & Drinkwater, there might be an opportunity to target some of the Dragons younger pack.
Regardless, all good, no point continuing this one.

The dragons will be much higher on the ladder than Parramatta regardless of what' keon is earning. Their development program is light years ahead of us. Their pack is full of young future stars, and with their recent signings fans can feel comfortable and hopeful.
Parramatta on the other hand have a badly beaten pack with nobody putting pressure on from reserve grade at this moment. And only Sua coming in.
We have no centres. No five-eighth, and one good development prop in Sam Tuivaiti who can negotiate in November - happy days under O'neill and Rodgers
The key might be how Metcalf works out, as they desperately need a 7?
Let's hope they don't target Ryles next, with his illawarrra links, it wouldn't surprise.

No. This isn't purely or simply about answering questions where the $1.2m/$6m figure comes from.
Yes. Like most, Anasta initially believed media reports it was around $1m. He thought it was overs then (said so on his podcast). Later, he obviously found out it was higher and said so. His face told the story. I found out through very solid sources his figure was accurate.
Where I'm heading with this is it would be unwise to pay ridiculous overs on the cap for him— seeing he makes every Eels stuff up list bandied about on here regularly.
I'll ask you a question (one Cap didn't answer or Chief).
Would you pay $1.2m for five years on the cap for Kaeon?
"Well Chief, I have said it for a while. We went heavily for Galvin. Lorenzo was at the club when we went for him. All of a sudden when we lost Galvin, it was no it's juniors all along. We extend Lorenzo on a deal that won't see him in top 30 til…"
"The Dragons pack does look very good doesn't it.
