If Pritchard is the highest paid player in the league next year we're doing it wrong.

maybe canterbury are paying most of it

Fooking hope so.

Well there's big rumours that Aiton has been speaking to Catalan about a move...

its rhetoric again from Pearson. how on earth does he know what players at other clubs are being paid?

did he actually say Pritchard would be the highest paid player in superleague or has he been misquoted?

Think he is including the amount the bulldogs are paying, like rovers did we Campese we got ourself a great deal for the first year of his deal.

Not convinced by Sandow, overrated IMO.

International player. 22yrs old and still improving. Decent pace even at ovet 100kgs. Good enough for the melborne storm but no good for us?

No where near. Hudds n catalan offered more than we're paying

Couldn't disagree more on Sandow, he'll be the best player in the league, perfect for super league. It's far less organised than the NRL, will be playing against weaker defenders and will be in broken play more often and Warrington will allow him to play how he wants off the cuff. He'll be exposed much less defensively and might even get away with the shoulder charge more.

sandow is a rich man's albert kelly. The only question is over his temparament

He's obviously not good enough for Melbourne or he'd be staying there . He's no more than a fringe player with a bash & barge game , The side needs to inject some serious pace in the backs and were not going to get that with Fanua . Anyway he's named on the bench for todays game .

Go on the video sharing site and put fonua outpaces ben barba
also then look at the athleticism for the bat back vs canberra. All at 21. We have nothing close to that. Id be more than happy

I don't need to see the clips , I prefare to watch the full games . It's my opinion from what I've seen of him since his debut in 2012 .

So youve decided that a kid only 22 now and as a 19yr old was crap.
I saw him come on today and plays strong. Makes big metres. Set himself up for a try and had 1ruled out. Keeping average at 1 try every other game. Playing from centre.

I never said he's crap did I .

It does seem odd that Melbourne would let their only home grown player go if he was all that.

That said, we couldn't attract a young NRL regular player so I wouldn't be unhappy if we got a young NRL irregular.

Often works that way in the nrl. Good players often move away. Koribete wasnt good enough for wests. At melborne now n would get a gig at pretty much any team. Why wouldnt roosters have mooved heaven and earth to keep roger t shek?

Eh? That could still mean he's the highest paid, you know?

How do people know how much we will pay a player who is not even in the country, how that is being funded and to top it off, who was also making an offer to the player and how much each offer was for the player.

They don't. They just like to give the impression they do. It makes them feel Important in their virtual world.

Or you could be told how cats and hudds had offererd more but frank stuck with his word to motu. Thus was probably 6/8 weeks ago. Then he signed and I read in league weekly how cats and hudds hadchased him. So went with it. Same guy told me the day before that taylor would be in paper next day (signed) and told me about paea 2days b4 it broke and even which team. Sometimes people just get to know stuff.
Gone off the boil lately tho. Told me macshane had signed and that carlos was a no.

Three times St George went down Melbourne's left and Fonua was defensively beat . What big metres did he make ? . He fell over the try line for both his efforts .

for gods sake,give the kid a chance.i take it you know more about him, than the people who signed him because they thought he would be a good signing.he`s not in the country yet,and you`re knocking him already..

Always happens with some on here.

Have we signed Fonua ?
