No I have watched him. He is better than what we currently have. Did I say he is worth a mil? No but to say you wouldn't even sign him for 1 year? If you have the chance to sign a player better than what you have you sign them, within price of course.
Name one player in our pack right now that is a better overall player?
Please do no patronize me with this "havent seen him play" rubbish. I was merely pointing out he is better than what we currently have. Nothing to do with worth financially.

He may not be worth 1m, but the Eels need a pack leader. Are Haas, Fish, or AFB available? Demand drives KK's price, right or wrong.
As LB said we'd be a much stronger team with him than without him.
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.
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?
nope
I like it Randy, a concise response:) No need to write a 15 paragraph essay for something that can be said in one word.
Haha… well played, Randy.
No doubting it would be very challenging. Ultra competitive, many variables.
But HOE & I (I’m definitely not a moderator) are just fans like all of us, whereas Ben Rogers - I’m less concerned with MoN than others - is paid a very good wage to recruit & retain a premiership competitive roster. He has endless resources, contacts, opportunities, access to agents, players etc - he works within this world on a day to basis, unlike any of us.
Rogers as Head of Recruitment, imo, should be taking responsibility for a roster that shouldn’t be acceptable for upper management at the Eels, and it’s not limited to this season.
He’s had his chance. It’s time for change, and I’m not sure how much evidence, wasted seasons or hamstrung coaches the Eels need to make it.
Definitely need a Fui, Darren.
