Would have to get rid of paulo and lane to get him
Yeh same, stefano isn't a passenger like them
With RCG signed until the end of 2025 on a reported $750,000 per season plus Junior until the end of 2026 on a reported $950,000 per season, the only way the Eels could sign Stefano would be if they could offload both RCG and Junior with another club paying a large majority of their contracts. On current form, our 2 front-rowers wouldn't be worth much more than half their contract. The only thing in their favour is the limited number of middle forwards on the market at the moment.
He's not worth the numbers that are being thrown around.
The kind of coin he is after is for guys like Payne Haas and Fa'asuamaleaui.
650k Max for Stefano.
💯
?? If Stefano is worth $650,000 max, what are RCG and Junior worth?? Going on this seasons form plus there age and potential in coming years, I would value Stefano above both RCG and Junior.
As for player values, much of what a player is worth is determined by the amount of players available in their position. Several teams are looking for middle forwards for next season and there isn't many good ones available.
I think we will see the body shape and size of middle forwards change over the next few years. Smaller players with footwork and leg speed will become more popular. Middle forwards that can play longer minutes is also a huge advantage.
Stefano is worth what the market dictates and a club like the Tigers will pay inflated prices as that's what they have to do.
Two clubs have already pulled out due to his perceived value.
As for Stefano being worth more than RCG or Paulo, I would say he isn't but in saying that, both of our bookends are way over payed.
Parra junior who should come back. He only left because we had plenty of awesome middles at the time (who being awesome were also on awesome money). But that seems like a thousand years ago now. We now have zero 'awesome' level middle forwards. Hopefully we can get him back.
From memory, we let him go to keep the Polar Bear.
