James Hooper is reporting that Newcastle are only able to offer Best $650k, with another report saying ratchet clauses would be included, while Parramatta are set to offer $850k. Also, Knights are considering moving Fletcher Sharpe to Centre with Sandon Smith at 7 and Brown at 6 once he returns.
Now firstly, yeah Newcastle are losing Gagai so moving Sharpe might not seem a big deal, though they have Toby Winter and Fletcher Hunt too. So is it worth paying Best that much. I digress, with saying take this with a grain of salt since Hooper can be wrong, as has Kent a fair bit on his show and i reckon they would have similar sources. But it is something as well.
Let's for argument sakes say it is true, surely Parra can throw in an extra $50-100k and maybe a ratchet in there to get him over the line? That would truly blow Newcastle out of the water. Best has done this before where he went in Nov 1. then signed with the Knights anyway. The one thing that is different is he says he wants the best deal for his family. Money can be best for the family. Added is the talk of fiancee wanting to move down to Sydney, not that big of a deal living in Newcastle and not a deal breaker or maker, but it helps.
So again, Hooper has gotten things right but also has gotten his fair share wrong. But let's hope it is all right.

I reckon we up it too 900k, we're needy for a star back and i doubt Bostock comes to us.
950k a year may get him, and to be fair we need a ice breaker.
I was watching Xerri podcast and how close he was to joining, throw in Galvin, Lenui, and Sua.....would have been top 8 next year.
The club needs best, he'll be the player to unlock our backline, we also need to look into young gun wingers plenty of them out there. Our pack is stacked, Burton would be another player I'd get, good things hopefully coming our way soon.
No dice
Talk about a heading of CONTRADICTIONS.....Best a good chance of signing with Parramatta.....so says Hooper reporting only offering 650K , then again Hooper might be wrong as Kent has him on his show.....
We then get a Hooper could be wrong and Kent also because they have similar sources.....talk about a repeathon and throw in the advice to PARRA whose administration takes so much delight in following sources from 1EE, Surely they can throw in and extra 50/100k and a ratchet.......shit what a genius we have. Eachway betting in a three horse race....some people just dont understand.
After reading the Headline I am sure the loyal fan club were on the point of firming to a semi erection, but alas after reading the story it was just another deflation...... we will just have to look elseware when looking for gratification, optimism is wonderful but bullshit just stinks!
Sooooo the title of the blog is what Hooper said, i then proceeded to say let's take it with a grain of salt but also let's talk about if it is real, and that upset you so much? Yet i need a life apparently.
It's pretty rich being lectured on contradictions by a guy who declared an article had zero credibility, only to turn right around and quote it as gospel when it backed your own narrative
But those who are wise would notice that.
Oh and the GIF is from a movie, you know the talkies or the magic lantern show from when you were a kid, so it is ok to use before you cry foul and embarrass yourself again.
You are running out of space in your head LB, please get me out of there.....and you thought what!..... back to the school yard young man!
Its time you got some old fashioned help LOL
I will ask you in a separate paragraph for your old eyes, if you say i should grow up and move on, why don't you do the same instead of constantly replying? I reply as it is so fun to see your idiotic rebuttal's. As for being obsessed with you, explain how yourself bringing me up in random comments when at times i have nothing to do with the blog is also not an example of obsession? Hmmm, seems like you are obsessed yourself mate, you do not like that someone, young like me, is standing up to you.
You can’t defend your own hypocrisy, so you resort to noise. Thanks for proving my point for me. Instead you say things that i am and are obsessed with me so much to comment on posts cryptically like i am he who shall not be named and cry foul to admins if they dare admit you are in the wrong. God you are pathetic.
Letting someone much younger than you hold their own against you, how embarrassing.
FFS can both of you two fukn know-it-alls please give it a rest.
