Knights need anyone they can get. I'm predicting that Cordner will stay with the Roosters. Is Manly after him?
Cordner has rejected roosters new offer, because roosters are going to sign SBW back in 2017. Manly are reportedly keen on getting him, manlys 2 main targets for 2016 are Klemmer and Cordner. I expect us to get one of them but getting 2 is also highly possible. Manly are saving big money for one of these 2 or even saving enough to grab both of them.
I would be surprised if Cordner left the Rorters. They have a way of squeezing people under their cap.
It kinda seems that Cordner is happy to move on. The fact that he has now turned down 2 offers from the Chooks sujects he is ready to field offers else where. Reported we are interested for 2017 and knowing Bozo gets what he wants makes this chase very promising.
I think to get the best from Cordner you need someone who can maximise his hole running ability. IMO he's not a player who can break the line with great footwork or explosive power. He runs courageous lines and hits holes well. Maloney and him worked well on that front.
Paul Stephenson was the last one. I wouldn't want to pay overs for Cordner, his good but I don't rate him in the 600k+ category which is rumoured what he is asking
His form in 2015 was better than the previous 2 years. I'd advise yes pay 600k if it is available to spend.
Newcastle sound keen on Cordner, Brown has come out and stated he wants Cordner at newcastle. Anyone think we could still grab him.
No way Chooks lose him if they want him. Their cap is unlimited. They'll triple his salary, acquire SBW, probably look at Sam Burgess then steal 10 other teams best juniors, THEN say they have money to spend.
