3 year deal for me is a bit over the top but again it just shows where we currently are as a club and what we need to do to secure contracts. We either pay more money or give more security. We're likely not a desirable destination right now and therefore in the strongest of bargaining positions.

If we sign another quote centre as hoped then Chamberlain because back up and a squad player, and as far as adding depth he's probably better than any back up centre we've got at the moment.
So as long as we get the final quota signings and further recruitment right then I'm fine with this signing.

Agree with this but I'm getting concerned about the quality of the final quota signings.

We signed a PNG full back who had no NRL experience before we ripped up the contract and supposedly a PNG hooker who hadn't played in the NRL either.

If we sign lafai on a 2 year deal we'll have 2 centres with a combined age of 66

Add a 35yr old winger to that which would bring the century up.

We didn't offer Rimbu a deal though.
