Would be a great get for us but I see him staying at the Giants.

Some I reckon he will Re-Sign until Free Agency you would also think the Giants will have the cash

Especially they lost some players during the offseason so they will definitely have the cash.

I know Callaghan has a connection to the Dogs (he’s Bevo’s wife’s cousin) but would that be enough of a call, especially given that Bevo’s time at the club is finite?

Short answer no. It’s probably about as relevant as the Bont and Josh Kelly are friends links years ago. Professionals don’t make contract decisions based on where their friends play or where their Aunties husband coaches.

 

[JohnnySteel]

Callaghan should be our #1 target.

 

[Golden_6]

Callaghan should be our #1 target.

I’d still have Butters as the number 1.

Last time I heard about him was massive contact extension

For anyone wanting to know some insight about Marra. Marras dad recently loved an article where Tom Boyd was questioned about ending his career early. The article specifically quotes “if you don’t think you can do that the only right thing to do is to take a step back and consider whether you want to play long term”.

Marra to the Chicago Bulls confirmed

 

[BrisDog]

Lucky we have Sam Darcy. Twice the player than JUH, loves the club and is a mongrel.

 

[Westerndog11]

I think it shows that for Marra it’s less about off field dramas and more about having fallen out of love with the game and the associated pressures potentially.

Some players don't love the game and only play because they're good at it and it's work/good income.

Also known as the Nick Kyrgios

This doesn’t explain the extra curricular activities though.

 

[Testekill]

Read on the Finn Callaghan thread that we are into him massively

Would love him but I think he signs long term with the Giants.

 

[Highlander]

I haven't seen a lot of Callaghan play, but what I have seen hasn't impressed me; his statistics also look average.
He looks good, not great and he is still young but I wouldn't want to give up an early first round pick for him I don't think.

What am I missing?

It's not really about this. The boy is in the wrong crowd using his new found cash and fame to party it up. That then is causing the unmotivated marra. Take his $s away then you'd see a different story

This. His off field antics are causing him being unmotivated. The club should feel let down by his antics

 

[VitalDread]

Callaghan and XOH would be my two main targets this off season

Bevo has had enough of his behaviour.

 

[Bont the Lord]

You missed my point mate. Do your homework, nobody will want someone who should be on 3 strikes. Not disputing his talent.

Buddy says hi

Isn't that what your manager is meant to help you with. Managing your income

 

[Mojorisin]

O'halloran likely happens

 

[bobs head soup]

I think we'll be in a position to put a really big offer to a Callaghan or maybe even a Butters next trade period.

At a time where caps are expanding, we cleared a heap of space last year - Daniel, Macrae and Smith would've been the best part of $2mill.

Kennedy as the incoming would be a small % of that.

Re-signings of Darcy and Red will take a good chunk of that. They deserve a substantial upgrade, but seem happy campers who won't require exorbitant rises to be convinced to stay.

Jamarra would've been a big one at his trajectory as of last year, but his market rate is suffering by the week.

Reckon we'll have quite the war chest.

 

[VitalDread]

Shocked it didn't happen with the stringer trade
