Recruitment And Retention Discussion

Yeah if I'm engaging with it seriously: No. His market value would be very similar to Dylan Brown's (he's a better player than Dylan, but hookers make less than halves and fullbacks). You don't even think about adding another salary like that for a guy who'll turn 30 the season he arrives, if you haven't already locked down - for as long as possible - the kid you have wearing #6 who'll turn 24 that season, who is *comfortably* the best spine prospect your club has produced since Andrew Johns & Danny Buderus.

Also, lowkey, Phoenix Crossland is pretty high on the list of "best internally developed spine players" for our club too at this point. It matters. Hooker is not a weakness in our roster. Spine talent/creativity generally is not a weakness. You recruit to fill weaknesses, not further bolster strengths.

But we can only wish he does what all players do when going to the rorters, "I took unders to play at the Knights as it has always been my dream"

Whilst it looks like a crock of you know what. It’s fun, and maybe not that crazy to imagine the best generational hooker wants to come to Newcastle for the type of footy we play, good mates, and great lifestyle. Surely we don’t have the funds, but come on someone make it happen!

He is like a massive upgrade on Harrison Graham.
How fun would it be to have Grant having the option to run himself, put Manu through a gap, go for a dart and then pass to Sharpe in space, link up with Ponga or just chip ahead for a flying Dom.
He'd make all our attacking threats so much better by setting them up, or just run himself if the defence gets too confused to cover all the options.

Yeah crazy, make a GF and suddenly Storm player's are using us to get more money. What's next? Walsh to the Knights lol

Storm haven't lost anyone they have wanted to since Inglis was forced out due to the salary cap stuff

Although you could make a very strong case for Tohu Harris

Yeah I don’t think they’ll lose Harry either especially not to the Knights. Cleary he wants more money though and it’s just very funny we are now seen as an actual credible option for someone like Grant suddenly

Very different situation to 12 months ago
 
I remember the last time that was the case being linked to big name players (some maybe unrealistically) when we were spooners looking to improve with a 'warchest' to bring in talent around Ponga and then proceeded to buy a few Roosters players.
