If he dos stay, then I pray he won't be injury ridden. That is my main concern.

Yes but New Zealand players outside the very top names are not paid a huge amount.
We have already secured him and £200k would be a big increase on his current salary

Easy to say but touch wood those days are long gone now. Coaches and physios both for club and country have learnt how to manage his workload so as not to cause too much strain on his groin etc

Were do you get that from.
Reminder we did have to beat Bordeaux to get him as well.

Gut feeling RB. It is likely that I’m conservative with my estimate but I don’t think he’ll be on what people are thinking and sure he won’t be a Marquee signing.
Most fans unless they follow The Crusaders have not heard of him, even Nick Mullins tweeted he hadn’t seen much of him

Agreed but a certain amount of the cost of anything comes with the name.
I may be completely wrong and he obviously won’t be bargain basement but at 27 and not an established international I would be worried if we were paying top dollar

All relative though.
Top dollar doesn't have to mean £500,000 +
Just means is he the most expensive new player currently joining and if rumours are true he will be.


On Manu, I don't believe he has signed anything still.

I think we’re in agreement to a point that he will be on good money and I would certainly hope he was getting more than other names muted but not mega star salary. As I say my initial figure is a conservative estimate

We need centres but the money should be spent on the forwards!
