Pretty sure just another case of a player manager using the Saints to leverage a better deal. Just like De Goey did.
That’s why I never get excited over the talk until/if it happens.
That’s a helluva lot of money for a Stengel. Not unhappy we missed out - if we were ever seriously in the frame.
I reckon he was cheap for a young AA premiership small forward who is exactly the type of player we need. If those types come up you go for them. Wage only momentum building signings are worth more than paying a few kids an extra $50k each per year. You can always find that bit of extra cash somewhere.
