Well it is funny how Hoops last night said Talagi and his manager were more likely set to re-sign now BA is gone. Then 24hrs later it is all steam ahead for St. George Illawarra.
How weird Blaize wants to play Centre too, not Fullback. Centre of all spots.
Personally think the 375K offer is too much for him and wouldn't be going much higher based on potential. If other clubs want to blow the cap on a developing rookie then let them go for it

Considering we signed a finished product Lomax who is basically going to take the spot, can't blame Blaize if he wants to leave. But in saying that rather have Lomax anyway
"Fletcher is still very highly rated. But his stress fracture means he's starting this year in SG Ball, whereas Lorenzo could quite easily be starting in NSW Cup. That gives him a jump on first grade. Club wants to keep both and are planning pathways…"
"I think it's simply Lorenzo is suited to be a 6 while Fletcher is more suited to the 7 jersey. Normally a 7 is a better player overall than a 6.
Fletcher could fill in at 6 if needed"
"Though Badger, if you let Parra pick a position they wanted from a trade for Lomax they are taking a middle forward as that seems to be the area they want covered most. That Paulo replacement."

Spot on LB. That said Blaize's also more likely to play fullback at the dragons. Gutho is off contract end of 2025 from memory.
Why do we have the biggest dumbasses running our club???
If we lose Sanders and Blaize, someone's gotta go.
If someone goes, will that make you feel better?
Sack everyone!! Those ballboys better watch out.
How much should we pay him to stay? Or, if it's not money what should we offer him?
If he wants a centre spot I am pretty sure we could accommodate him.
If he wants a lot more money over the reported $1.1M over 3 years then he should definitely go to the other club.
