Recruitment and Retention for 2027

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Williams is on a 3 year/$2.4M deal, hence the inability (or the need) to retain Niko.

800k per year? WTF, what was Kodi on? and what did he get at the Dragons? if its less thatll do me.

guess we see three things how well george n izzy click

how much work kodi has to do for dragons

Kodi might also be using that as a negotiating stick as well to chexk his worth.

However his worth is what the general market would offer. the Dragons seem like the type who would bet the house on a 3 legged donkey at the gold cup.

Williams was a very good halfback a few years ago.

He's still pretty good. my concern is the game over there has moved on massively in the last few years where as over here it has gone backwards. I feel the gulf between them will show him up pretty quickly

Kodi

explanation

Looks like the Dragons offered massive overs (as hobo mentions), compared to us. Good on Kodi, he deserves it, wish him all the best.

Exactly my thoughts and what I am afraid of.

3 Years for a guy that is going to be 33 next year (Williams)?

Everytime I think about it it angers me.

Its certainly odd, Most guys are dropping out at 33/34 very few Players compete at the top level at 36. Even if you drop to ESL 36 is pushing it

Seems so strange but I'm going to hold off judging him on it until we see what he has in mind.

George Williams has been out with a serious neck injury since April 18. At 32 years of age going to be close to impossible to come back from.

You mean medically retired?

and plenty come back from it and played age has nothing to di with it karl os neck surgery was worse than his he would of needed to pass a medical to come here so if nrl had a issue with it wouldnt be coming

If he's forced to medically retire and it'll be a blessing for Dolphins saving Woolf from the biggest mistake of his career the Dolphins should go all out to chase Matt Burton with the Williams money. He would be perfect for Katoa and hitting the prime of his career.

 

[mr_c]

lol hes ahead of schedule with his progress n back on field latter in august lol hardly worth medically retiring him lol

If your talking about Williams, I think the reason we didn't announce him was there was speculation about a neck injury.

That's the other part that pisses me off. Not only was he old, and a 7 rather then a 6, and more expensive then Kodi, he also had the neck injury cloud hanging over him.

This is the most bonehead transfer of all time.

WATCH HIM NOW COME OVER AND BALL OUT AND MAKE ME LOOK LIKE A FOOL

It seems bizarre but Woolf must have a plan.

Burton with a good playmaker might work but he still looks like a centre with a big boot to me.
