Bradman Best discussion

From what it sounds like Best is most likely gone, seems to be the growing consensus

It’s pissing me off.

Ponga tried to lead by example and got to the negotiations quietly and in private so the team could focus on the year ahead.

Guys with long injury and form slumps that go missing in the big games have no right asking for a million a year of the cap.

Take your big Mr T gold chains and massive ego and **** off honestly.

Kinda, yeah. Im getting over it, i know its not Nov 1 yet and I know how devastating he is when he is on. But I think POS had it about right, he is missing 1/3 of games.

If he leaves will we miss what he brings? Yes, but only if hunt and winter dont develop.

I'd rather keep the spine, Hops and our killer back row together.
 
Have to say I think Parra are insane if they’re offering over a million a season for an injury prone centre.

Yes they really need a strike outside back but he’s one that tends to rely a lot on good ball from his halves / fullback. Who will even be their 6 in 2028?

It’s a lot of money for maybe 16 games a season and that’s assuming the injury problems don’t get worse
 
I don’t begrudge Best at all if he goes. We have him next year, hopefully he stays and by 28 Hunt or Winter seamlessly step in.
It would be a wrong recruitment call to buy another centre. We have two good ones, and some promising OB’s coming through.

Yea gotta say I agree in part with the sentiment above. As a senior star player Best is a custodian of the clubs image and culture. If the media are acting exactly as they tend to act with this type of thing, why feed the beast, just shut it down.

The only real answer here is that he is leaving.

It definitely came across as pretty petulant.
 
He has not done anything wrong. That was never my point around the club's approach to this. But the club can either tread water or make the moves both Roosters and Raiders have made. We are not playing with house money here. My question is where did the extra money for Best come from? Were we not led to believe that the Best offer was due to cap restrictions?

I don't like the way he's carrying on, there was no need to say anything about POS and the fact he's dragging it out to November 1st. We should do a roosters and pull the offer, stop dragging this crap out. If you are chasing the money then **** off to Parra and good luck.

I just don’t think Best is the sharpest tool in the shed, so he doesn’t think his comments through

On waiting till November 1, it doesn’t bother me, he did that last time.

He has told the club and everyone else that he is waiting till November 1, so it’s not like he surprised the club

We have shown him we still want him by increasing our offer to try get him to sign by November 1

Do I want him to stay, yes I do, but we can’t keep everyone. If our offer isn’t what he wants, then that’s fine, he is free to go to any club he chooses to.

I don’t see the point in getting upset with him. He is entitled to have a look around to find the best deal for himself
