Heard 700k as a figure but I'm sure we will accept less than that, with a first option clause

Any fee would be a bonus as long as we can get a replacement, the standard of French.

Dont know anything about Haskins, but I'm sure the right research has been done, rather have this type of player than a 32 year old, he will have something to prove rather than the last two years of his career.

Be gutted to lose Connor, I'd let him go for free, but insist we have first choice to sign him if he comes back. French would be an outstanding replacement though.

Three new pivots wouldn't be ideal, but would it's needed (well two plus replacing Connor)

Couldn't have put it better Dave.

Would you rather have a Cust/Hastings type player with a point to prove or a washed up Reynolds.

Indeed Miller signed for Hull aged 20 after making his debut for Wests Tigers aged 18 in 2011. Wests had a gun replacement aged 18 ready to replace him in 2013 called Luke Brooks and he still plays there today where his halves partner is Jackson Hastings.

They would've had Mitch Moses coming through at a similar time too.

I'm assuming that's Aus Dollars. Still seems too higher amount.

I thought we'd get 100, 150k on a good day. How much did Canberra pay for Bateman?

Yep. He debuted for them in 2014 aged 20.

You'd snap their hands off for 700k, think of the debt we're in, that'd clear a good chunk

Must be happening

He's been compared to a young Adam Reynolds at Souths. If he can be half as good as Adam he'll be exactly what we need.
