Ben Hunt?

[maxta]

Hunt is crazy left field, not a show as is going to Qld
But let me add, if we got him, legit chance to threaten.... then I see May available- a fresh hungry prop with leg speed....well yes 100%

Where would he be playing?

He is a superb hooker, but will not play hooker in club land.

 

[bob dylan]

He wants to win a premiership apparently.

2015 anyone????

 

[Tragic Eagle]

No a waste of cap space for us.

Agree, although having all 3 on the field together would be quite interesting attack wise!

He's still unsigned wanting to be a #7. Accept a move to #9 and give Manly a call. The 2025 grand final is calling.

Wasn’t he on around a million a season.
The way I understand it he needs to sign for close to that and saints won’t be putting anything towards his contract.

He doesn’t have to sign for “close to that”.He only needs to sign at a reasonable price to placate the NRL.Just because one club pays overs for a player,doesn’t mean another club has to stupidly follow suit

 

[master blaster]

Now that he has signed with the donkeys, we should get rid of this thread now ,Yay

It will be interesting to see how they fit him in

 

[sheridanstand78]

Once a donkey always a donkey! How do the Drongos get away with paying only 550K a season when he was on 900K at the Dragons?

I seem to remember a few years back that we were not allowed to retain Gifty when the NRL would not allow us to reduce his wage.

Double standards yet again!

 

[Stewbojevic]

The real question is, if the Broncos have to force a player out to fit him… who would we want?

I’d love Mozer, but probably a long shot.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

The salary cap is a joke.

 

[jbb/james]

The nrl for its integrity and its transparency should keep and make available a forensic record of all such transactions, its application, its reasoning to the clubs at the very least as an ongoing record

To establish a baseline for future agreements, for consistency and because if it acts with integrity it should have nothing to hide. So clubs have a basis to challenge the abdo bunker

Pretty sure that the Manly offer to Gifty at the time was well below what he would have reasonably expected and virtually and no doubt sadly , just an indication or signal that his services were not really wanted so to speak , ongoing .
References to a job offer in the Bronco 's system after Hunt 's contract finishes there and inclusive in his present contract offer is surely a serious anomaly and distortion on the supposedly fair concept of the cap

Given that the “job offer” upon retirement clause was made public,it’s either been cleared by the NRL,it’s BS or the NRL are yet to receive the offer.Because if there was anything dodgy about it,why would it go public?
