    Agreed i cannot see us forking out a million for him, I also think the Cows nay have erred when signing Taumalolo for so long. Time will tell.

        Yes we may have but i think the club may have changed a bit since then. Not sure Beau got paid that much...and Watto too.

          I read an article a week ago saying Parra will offer a 4 to 5 year deal at a mill a year. And if we get him thats unders. Hes the next great forward.

            Interesting. I would be happy to have him too but not at that price for such a young player.

        What was wrong with Beau Scott? He was a good buy, brought in that aggression.

  There will be plenty of players with similar athletic ability come through the grades over the next few years so I don't understand people calling him a once in generation player.  Taumalolo was a once in generation talent apparently but now we have Haas and Fifita who will surpass him and worth same money on proven consistent player who has performed for years.  The truth is kids are getting bigger and have training and sports science increasing their abilities every year.  

  I don't think we should spend close to a million on him as it will just cause disharmony in team for all the others who have had reduced contracts and he isn't worth that yet.

  If get him around 800 or even 850 maybe but no more. Just as we saw when Ben Hunt signed a million dollar contract the values of players in the halves skyrocketed, yet 2 years it cooled and we now have Moses and 1 of best promising young players in Brown at huge savings while titans, knights and saints are paying overs.
