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?
Personally, l wouldn't pay Kalooamatangi anywhere near 1.2m, only front rower in that area, imo, is Payne Haas. But also don't believe Anasta at all that the Dragons are paying 1.2m.
1m per season is tougher, because imo we are desperately needing an alpha front rower, and the fact the Eels offfered 1m over 4 years tells me that's their belief also, plus Paulo's retirement drives demand.
Either way, as mentioned, there might be an opportunity to target the Dragons pack.
One for you, with hindisght, would you have paid Dylan Brown the 1.05-1.1m required per season to keep him?

So we've got a situation here with two of our most learned contributors (both possibly moderators) challenging each other as to what they would do over potential signings. Both saying they wouldn't pay KK the sum offered by St George. Are people starting to grasp the difficulty faced by Mark O"Neill on a day to day basis and that maybe, just maybe he isn't doing as bad a job as some on here make out?

"All good. Anyway what's wrong with coming from another solar system. Hopefully in a parallel universe the eels may be the leagues powerhouse premiership winning giants 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣"

Mate I think you’ve completely misunderstood where I was coming from. I was actually defending you from FMP saying you wanted Gutho to stay.
I specifically pointed out you were in favour of moving Gutho on early. The BA comment was me explaining…"

I wouldn't sign him for 1yr, he is way overrated, imo.
Of course they wouldn't, but as soon as he has a good game for saints, it will be mentioned how the front office stuffed up signing him.
