The market is definitely in favour of the players right now.
Especially halves.
I'd love for him to leave the roosters.
POS has done such a great job re-signing our players in the current climate, before they go to market.
Hopefully he can get Saf, Dom, Best and Crokes sorted soon.

Getting our entire spine, a top-tier backup in Smith, and our best junior prospects in Hopwood/Hagan/Winter signed long-term prior to PNG officially entering and distorting the player market on November 1 - in the context of us getting the spoon in 2025 and undergoing a complete coaching staff overhaul in 2026 is almost unfathomable.
Genuinely build POS a statue, he is the GOAT of recruitment.

I think we’ll be alright. I saw an interview with Chammas where he said they’re specifically targeting older players with families who’ve already won comps etc.

1.25M a year for Walker I wouldn’t say that is a “slap in the face”? If the cap is going up in 28, his manager might push for that amount for two years than ratchet once the cap goes up.
Otherwise what is he worth? 1.5M?

I read the offer was $5 million over 5 years.

There are whispers the Bulldogs are having trouble reaching an agreement with Jacob Preston and he may go to market on Nov 1. It says a lot about the improvement in our roster management and front office that we have so far avoided the issues caused by PNG and the Bears in the player market.

Yeah I read elsewhere 5 years 5 million too. A lot of conflicting reports flying around.
I think 7 over 5 is fair for him.

Riccio just said on MMM they offered 1.4mil per year for 4 years but his management asked to put talks on hold till post season.
Hoping for his value to go up if they win the GF.

Just got a pay rise to go to Perth.
Horsborough is an inconsistent penalty puller who seems to be a magnet for drama...Although I'd like us to pick up a prop who can bend the line, perhaps Saulo after his nth injury setback. But IDK if Horsborough would have been good for us.
I'm happy for the Bears though; they are desperate to raise the quality/depth of that team. And maybe Mal can do something with the bloke. Although Ricky (like him or loathe...I've had a couple of brief chats with Ricky and he's actually a friendly, humble sort of guy) has a history of turning discards into quality players (as Knights fans unfortunately know too well), and he couldn't fix Horsborough.

Panthers reach extension agreements with Casey McLean and Isaiah Papali'i
