Jamal Fogarty

[Hertera]

Sea Eagles confident

That bit worries me. I wish who ever is tipping the journo would shut up and seal the deal

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Would have been nice at $550k

But we need a half back so I guess that’s the dollars these days

 

[ManlyTragic]

Really. $700K per for 3 years. That'll just about do me. This club is beyond fuked.

Mate ! It’s inflation ! Bananas have gone up 5.99a kg , blueberries are $8 a punnet , and don’t mention electricity and water ..

Just sayin’

$700k buys a lot of bananas!

 

[DieHardManlyFan]

Close. Played 20 finals for 9 wins and 11 losses

I did originally mean to write 6 but it auto corrected. I still would have been wrong anyway haha.

More than 100,000 kgs , That will feed a lot of monkeys!

Just sayin’

 

[KNUCKLES]

Good news if true.
If we're interested in recruiting forwards, whether junior or reserve grade or current NRL, we're more likely to get them to join a side with a decent halfback.
Which Fogarty nowadays is.

With what cap?

Not many first grade halves going for less. With the cap what it is it is a fair price. If Walsh becomes the player the club believes he is he will push Fogarty out of the team and we can let fogarty explore his options. I hope walsh becomes a champion but from what I have seen (in league and union) I'm not sold on him. It is a safe bet from the club and I back them on it.

Still a very good deal for both parties. $700k for a starting half coming into his best years is a steal for us. Bummer Canberra played a little hard ball to drive his price up with Sticky helping him on his way out.

Fogarty and Brooks on a total of $1.3m per year is great business for starting halves. This is the 1st piece of the puzzle put in place to balance out our squad.

I hope Ricky got a percentage of the deal as his tactics meant more dollars for Fogarty.

 

[Chunkytuna]

Dylan Brown is getting almost DOUBLE what we’ve reportedly signed Jamal Fogarty for. Is Brown twice as good a player as Fogarty - or is Fogarty half as good as Brown?? Answer: NO!!! Good deal for us.

Hope the next couple of pieces include a hooker, prop and lock.

Tom Starling would be my next signing. Now Fogarty is with us I would prioritise Starling now with their combination already built.

 

[Budgie]

If you watch the Jamie Humphries podcast with the Johns boys you get the very strong feeling that the club thought DCE would still be here (even though it was confusing for him etc) which is why they also bought walsh and large...for when he finished.

I do not think it is a lack of forward planning rather an inability to manage players and their expectations

Except for the training at hooker, playing at half stuff. Even without the DCE departure, we still desperately needed a hooker.

 

[The Who]

I'm all in on Hoppa in the 6.

Possibly, but I favour TT2 as a strong, running 5/8.
Even Clayton could be an option. He's NRL-ready but only getting his chance when an injury occurs to others.

 

[Johnno74]

He is worth the asking price Mark obviously cheaper the better though

 

[The Who]

$700,000 per season for three years?
A bit rich imo.

 

[mave]

Would have been happier with a 2 year deal, but it is what it is.

The price per year is very reasonable for both parties imo.

Yes but there’s not too many quality halves on the market is there, so I’m guessing “ market value “.

Clayton a 5/8? Are you sipping turps?
