2026 Recruitment And Retention

Just read that Canberra have offered Leo $3.4 mil over 4 years... if true, that's massive overs for him and he's crazy if he doesn't take it.

I hope we don't try to match that offer. We'll get a much better player for $850 k per year.
 
Players and clubs don't talk about offers.
Managers talk about offers, but usually only a lie to bump up interest.
A few years ago it was always managers saying Newcastle had made some outrageous offer, just to drive up prices.
 
If we did offer 700k offer for 3 years?
We could also upgrade him to 700 for 25.
25-$700k 26-$700k 27-$700k 28-$700k
Total = $2.8mil from 25-28.

If he signs with Canberra
25-$350k 26-$850k 27-$850k 28-$850k
Total = $2.9mil from 25-28.
Plus 850k in 2029

So from 2025-2028 the Canberra offer is only $100k better.
But they have offered an extra year in 2029.

If he does sign with the Raiders it's probably more about family than $$.

That's only if these numbers are correct.

Lately we do. Plenty left when club couldn’t find their own ***.

I have much more faith in them no with current crop. Who knows Linnane and Loza might be the answer in 1-3 years.

Wondering who they go for now. Was talks about Te Marie Martin couple months ago. Be a perfect 7 for you get halves to play with.

That is a ridiculous offer for Leo, surely it's not real. Canberra are nuts if it is. The only props I would pay that much for are JFH, Tapine and maybe AFB

I remember when Tapine left people were saying it was crazy money and there's no way we should have matched it. Looks like a pretty decent deal now.
