Unrestricted free agent. Been offered a three year deal from Gold Coast as per Channel 7.
 
What happened to him ? Cooked ?

Been living off 2016. Originally tagged out of games at HFF. Occasionally does something in the forward half. These days constantly injured and looks like hes been putting on weight.

Suns can have him

Fills a need as they have lost alot of their HB run to ACL's for season 2023 .

Likely to play down back but can go forward ... change will do him good but past his best .

Surely learnt their lesson after chasing Rory Atkins, strange move if true.

Can never be anything but appreciative for norm smiths, and I'm a big believer in the phrase "anything before the word but doesn't matter".

But.

He signed a reasonably large contract in 2017 - $650k for 5 years. If I'm being absolutely generous I'd say he's been ok since that contract was signed but the facts are, he's been bloody average.

Suns should be chasing players just on the edge of good teams in the 23-28 age bracket that have the hunger to play footy not 28+ chasing money or a long deal.
Heppell is the biggest head scratcher he provides nothing.
JJ has nothing to prove and hunger only for one last payday.
Why wouldn’t you just give rankine the extra coin if as portrayed by the suns he’s only chasing money going to crows???
