I’d been fine with Simpkin if we went down that road. One of the few North players I notice when we play them. Having said that those games are pretty much all I’ve seen of him. Still much prefer him over Oliver.
 
Luck
Father Sons
Pendles/Sidebottom

Beams leaving and netting us Degoey and Crisp which funny enough was the last good draft Dekka was apart of.

These superstars need to be convinced alot more then a Perryman.

Why can't we land the absolute elite? Always seem to be the 2nd option.
Absolute elite? Like 2 times All Australian half back Dan Houston? Or does that not count? I think people just enjoy rage baiting themselves into being angry because a rumour turns false.

I’m a yes to Simpkin on the assumption it’s an Oliver type situation where the Roos are picking up the tab on one side of the deal. I don’t think it can be underestimated how awful that environment has been for most of his time there and I’d be interested to see how he handles an environment that stimulates him ala the indigenous all stars.
That’s a fair point.
All that talent on the field that day and Simpkin was BOG.
 
Our last premiership side had Hill (Norm), Howe, Frampton, Markov, Lipinski, Cameron (Copeland), Mitchell, Crisp, Elliot and Hoskin Elliot in it. Only 10 players. We sure suck at trading/free agency! Since then we've added Schultz, Perryman and Houston... Get some perspective.
Yes our recruiting from other clubs has been top notch

Bit rich isn’t it.
They explained it clearly. Trac wants out, and Dees are okay with it. Suns are not okay with Humphrey going (as of yet). Basically they're targeting a gettable player and keeping their own talent that's under contract. I'd want our club to do the same. Just because we signed Houston (a contracted player) doesn't mean I would want the club to just bend over and let Daicos leave.
 
- Paying Simpkin $600k and North paying him $300k and getting him for a 3rd rounder - YES

- Paying Simpkin $900k and getting him for a third rounder - HARD NO

- Paying Simpkin $900k and paying a future first - WE HAVE COMPLETELY LOST OUR MARBLES
According to a North supporter who posted on here, he was rumoured to be on $8-900k a year but it was front loaded.
