Volkman or Metcalf would be good pick ups for sure. I don’t know much about Tom Duffy, is he any good?

  1. Yea I'm not sure on any of them. Hopefully those making the call have seen a lot of them to think they can make it. I can't see us getting a young North qld kid to move

I would be happy Metcalf, can’t see Duffy leaving NQ . Duffy only 19 and he did knock back an offer from the dogs earlier this year. Jake Bourke is a good crafty halfback from the cowboys maybe a good back up option for us. Still think Connor Tracey would make a decent 5/8 to go with Metcalf.

would think the warriors let go TMM before metcalfe and probably keep volkman (signed until end of 2025)  if SJ signs on for another year.

@jedi-tiger dunno bout that mate . Volkman went there for an opportunity, he t hasn’t really transpired . Now they’ve got Harris Tavita, Scheck , TMM , Metcalf , maybe Charnz , all needing to fit into max 5 spots , and you’re right I haven’t even mentioned Johnson . That’s 7 into 5 . I’m not sure he’s going to want to ride the pine for another year or 2 .

@helmesy , @garry

Love the podcast gents. Regarding Brooks, one thing I don’t hear mentioned much is that wouldn’t we get Cap discount/advantage on Brooks as veteran player? Effectively saving us $180k off his salary under cap? If so, surely we could up his offer slightly to get him across the line. I don’t think any other player (maybe Nof?) would qualify for us to get discount?

EXCLUSIVE: Ben Hunt has decided to ask for a release from @NRL_Dragons
The Shane Flanagan appointment has not settled him. Has confided in his inner circle he wants out. Unsure if he’s made contact with officials at club but influential Dragons are aware. @9NewsSyd @NRLonNine

Surely Roosters in the frame for Hunt. Dominoes could start falling for 2024 halves movement.

Went and watched Jets v Warriors at Henson today. Volkman was good and would def have him but we should be throwing cash at Trindall he is way too good for nsw cup.

I'm off the Ben Hunt train. He is surprisingly leading a really bad culture along with DeBelin at saints. I won't go into the exact details of that, but it's not hard to guess when it comes to league players.

 

I was very surprised to hear what Hunt is like. I don't think at his age we need that off field crap.

We need a player like Hunt

But what's the selling point?

Why would hunt, who is getting $1m+ leave dragons mid contract to play at WT for $1m+

I can imagine he either gies to a top club for a chance at premiership or to a Queensland club to end his career at home

Top 8 2023

I think Hunt is on more like 800k isn't he?
