  • Was he any better value than Isaiah Papali'i at 175-200 K ?

    Parra over the years have found plenty of value in there back rowers Shaun Lane Maranta Nuikore Manu Ma'u Beau Scott all would have started on less than what Willams is on outside of maybe Scott.

    We got the Daly M backrower for 2 yrs best in the game for the above mentioned money now that's value.

    Williams yes a good player but value is in the eye of the beholder.

    • Don't look now, but you are making a pretty good argument for us not signing KK on $1 million plus per season. 

      • Optics.

        Id say the club had won a battle me now let's go win the war.

  • Jack got our best player last year and rightly so!! 

  • Whatever he's on, it probably will not be enough to keep the competition away. We need to move quickly to lock him up longer term or we will end having to overpay to keep or have him signed from under our noses.

    • His contract ends in late 2027, when he will be 31. Surely there won't be huge demand for him beyond that.

      • It would be good if you posted more regularly Pou. I think you are one person on here that's got a really good grasp of what's going on and adds plenty of value to the conversation.

        • Cheers Adam. Unfortunately to some observers, explaining means making excuses. It's not seen as helpful to people who just want to whinge and vent.
