League Targets

[GTPIH]

Even at $2m/year he would be cheap based on the media exposure and sponsorship

It would be worth it just to see the conniption from PVL, Rothfield et al

He's playing Centre in League but he's a Rugby Winger.

Underpaid in RL is high paid in Rugby though. Still got stock standard Wingers on 300-400k

Current deal was similar circa $550k/y and his value increases for rugby if he becomes more of a league name also.

Rothfield could not get any more bitter if you soaked him in a vat of vinegar.

True, it'd probably make him more sour though

 

[Derpus]

I thought wingers were the ones we could poach because they were underpaid in league.

Underpaid in league is basically McReights salary these days.

Harsh burn but fair!

Rothfield could not get any more bitter if you soaked him in a vat of vinegar.

Even League pundits tell him to drop it recently. He's a guy clinging to relevancy in an age where his style is done.

The Marky Marky chatter is continuing today after his great game over the weekend.

I think RA have more than a punchers chance to bring him back for the RWC. If we lose badly 0-3 to the Lions, I reckon it'll be even more likely they'll sign him up to some crazy contract in an effort to move the needle in 2027.

Not sure overpaying for another back is a great business decision though. I was actually quite impressed with Potter and Jorgo against Fiji for starters.

Jorgo especially for someone with so much time off. Potter's high ball take was a beauty too.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

He said he's interested in Rugby and it's the WC. If Rugby can't get him for that I don't think we'll see him again.

The difficult part is going to be that he will be getting offers around the 700k mark from the Roosters, Bears and PNG + others. Can Rugby do that for a Winger especially when we seem to have a decent group of them at the moment. I know he offers attributes others don't but it's a lot of cash that could keep guys like Jorgo in Aus and Rugby. Also money that could be used for someone like Petaia when Centre is a depth issue in Aus.

Its hard to say we should hold out in the chance that Jordan may return back to Union, there's a risk you run that Jordan stays in NFL as well.

Given we have bugger all size in our backs, I'd be inclined to entertain the idea of Mark returning. Given Jorgo has struggled to put a chain of games under his belt without being injured, you probably need to assume we will have blocks where he is not available.

Having the likes of JAS and Mark contesting kicks should create a lot havoc and pressure as well.

Jorgos injury this year was one that would have taken anyone out and was an unfortunate tackle getting his ankle twisted. He hasn't struggled with head knocks or repeated soft tissue injuries. His record over 3 seasons isn't too bad considering a broken leg is there as well. Only 20 so he'll only get stronger and already looks to have put on size.
