Pat Carrigan

[Mark from Brisbane]

Off contract at the end of this year , so from 1st November it’s “ open season “.

Apparently 6 clubs are interested , only one I saw named was the Raiders.

$800k plus

Thoughts ??

He’s currently a lock , but I guess that’s a middle anyway.

His family is deeply entrench in qld footy. May leave broncos ( unlikely) but not qld

End of next year he is off contract but no chance of him leaving Brisbane.He’ll be their next captain and they’ll have plenty of coin for him,given Reynolds won’t be on their books or on a significantly less wage.Great player but he’s not the difference between Manly winning a premiership or not,especially at his pay.I suspect it’ll $900K +

With 2nd brissie team going to be alot harder to get players out of Brisbane

 

[ALinda]

It beggars belief the Broncs haven't tied him up already.

Easts could; they could get Putin out of Ukraine if he was better at defusing bombs.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Two words: "Yes" and "please". But, as others have said, the chances are slim to none.

 

[ElectricEagle]

Good prospect. We just don't have the cash.

 

[Woodsie]

We don't need him ... one or two of Fifita, S. Fainu and Tu'itavake will make the leap to NRL fame ..

West's bombs?

I like him too Mark, but he will lead Bronco's as Captain and potentially be a rare 1 club player, which is very refreshing in a time where it's $$$ over loyalty.
In fact, we would have to do a Roosters, as to pry him away from Brisbane who will pay $850,000 plus, we would need to pay well over 1 million, which is well out of reach.
I agree with Woodsie that we have the cattle in our own yard and if fed well, could well be all we need moving forward.
Great suggestion though, as he certainly has a natural leadership about him and inspires those around him.

With Hass wanting to stay on, decisions now have to be made. Besides, lots of young bulls champing at the bit all wanting a shot at 1st grade.

 

[Uber Eagle 72]

Too expensive would prefer it spent in keeping our young talent.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

By the way , only listed as a discussion point I’m not actually advocating spending $900k a year on a forward , who probably wouldn’t come anyway.

Dont worry Mark, the Dogs or the rorters will find a way to fit him in

 

[Disco]

I mean, he'd be a fantastic pickup but as others have said, wont happen

 

[deanm]

At the right price Yes , But I would rather develop our own .

 

[Disco]

Carrigan a far better pickup then Flegler would have been....and I like Flegler

 

[BoomStickBarbie]

I'd prefer us to bring home JWH for a season or 2 to instill some winning culture among our young forwards. I reckon we could get him cheap also.
