Connection is everything.
If the option was a straight swap - NAS for Butters- would you do it? A week ago I would have said no, but watching NAS rack them up in the centre today I’m thinking that may be a pretty fair trade and a win / win for the clubs if both butters and NAS ultimately want to go home
Butters for NWM + 1st I’d probably accept. Much closer to fair value.

Serious moment for a sec - not trying to take the piss out of anyone, but it always amused me when there are friends or cousins being kept in the loop.
Have seen countless times when these individuals are told one thing only for the player to do the very opposite a short time later.
For instance, Dunkley had close friends spouting their mouths in 2022 telling anyone who would listen that he was gonna join Port. Of course, he joined Brisbane.
More recently, I became acquaintances with a cousin of Brisbane Broncos player Selwyn Cobbo. You are never quite sure how to handle these scenarios but I know Cobbo's story very well, and this person was relaying info to me that I knew had to come directly from a the source given what I know about the young man. Anyways, we got talking about his contract, and this individual was adamant that Cobbo was telling everyone as recently as that week, that he was staying in Brisbane at the Broncos, and if he left, it would be to the Gold Coast Titans. Barely a week later he signed with the Dolphins.
Unless you're speaking to CD, Cripps, the player in question or their manager, anyone else is more or less a second hand source and from there, so go the Chinese whispers.

You mean Butters plus a first for Nas
It must be hard to say this with a straight face
The reality is that Butters is a better and more proven player, and in contract.
He's just worth more.. maybe not by a lot, but it is more.
Keep Whitlock. He's showing a lot today.

Yes I'll take into account that he's doing well against the 4 win Roosters mate.

Who cares lmao. Look at what NAS is doing against Geelong. I’ll trade 10 Whitlock’s for him.
Whitlock should be on our untouchable list. **** giving him up as steak knives.
Do we know what level he will reach? Do we have any guarantee?
No.
But teams use picks 1-10 etc every year hoping to unearth tall kpfs who can clunk marks.
Some clubs spend decades looking.
It’s not just that Whitlock is taking marks and kicking goals, it’s the manner he’s doing it. He’s one grabbing stuff at its highest point. There’s talk guys out there not getting remotely close to spoiling him. He’s standing under balls when he’s still a teenager
This is the best shot we’re going to have at a 200cm kf / ruck in the near future.
Is nas an outright elite gun? Yes.
We’ve already pitched him on coming here. He’s out of contract. He’s made his decision.
Offer draft picks and players we can afford to lose ie Moraes drew lord Lorenz jones as sweeteners.
It’s what a club would do to us roles reversed. Teams aren’t going to offer us will day or kozzie Pickett for our player “cause you have to give to get”.

Jack Whitlock is making a very strong case for himself at Prospect Oval this afternoon.

It's amusing watching people act like Whitlock is just now showing signs he could be elite. He's been showing signs since he got here.
