No losing Elgey Titans...just don't. Lock him up for life, if Mbye is worth that ridiculous 650K or whatever it is then Elgey is worth 700K+ .
Good try ... impressed so far generally except for the general.

We need to throw it all at Elgey. There's no other option. We need him for the next 5 yrs at least
#ThruNThru
Did anyone see Travis Meyn's tweet about Shannon Walker "walking out" on the Titans after not receiving a contract?
Elgey and Titans negotiation *
Elgey : St George have offered 500K a season
Titans : Well give you 250K + a $50 voucher to Hogs breath cafe + the cheapest car at Frizelles + a brochure to Aquis resorts
Elgey : wtf I thought we had 700K+ in cap space?
Titans : yeah that's for locking Zillman up
Elgey : *signs with Dragons*
Titans : He turned down a bigger deal to leave how dare he :/
That's what I imagine the talks to go like
Final score 20-22? or something but enjoyed watching the trial ... Taia will be good for us and Shillington too, in fact our rotation was really solid. There were a couple of players I wasn't sure of but Cullen went well as did Roberts/T. I can't believe that's busy bloke is the same lethargic bloke I remember from the Knights. Mortimer as a back-up 9 okay but Friend was just light years ahead. You can win games with a good pack and we seem to have that. Not sure where Bird fits in there, tbh can he play fullback? Zillman was another level below everybody else, maybe 2 levels.
Elgey Titans negotiation redux:
Elgey: Dragons offered me a lifetime deal.
Titans: What do you think mate?
Elgey: I don't want to leave my comfort zone and I certainly don't want to play for the Stain.
Titans: Okay, we'll offer you what the NRL bean counters say we can based on sound fiscal management plus a block of flats, Tasmania and a frozen chook.
Elgey: Done, let's sign right now. Oh yeah, can I have a can of Coke, this deal made me real thirsty?

Sydney/Brisbane hate media are in overdrive today
Well if he goes to the dragons we should chase Benji Marshall and then see if Prince wants to make a comeback. Half's problem solved.
I can't explain how bad it would be if we lost Elgey. He'll be the face of this club in a couple years. Pretty much the equivalent of what DCE is to Manly, Thurston to Cowboys, Johnson to Warriors etc. not to mention how he almost single handedly helped us avoid the spoon last year. If there's one player we can't lose its Kane.

Or like:

Elgey : wtf I thought we had 700K+ in cap space?
Titans : Look, why don't you concentrate on your rehab for now and we'll talk again when the season is finished. We're sure other clubs will wait as well and we never miss players we want.
That's what I imagine the talks to go like
i'd like to imagine we could make the exception with kane. He has been a player for us for a long time now and the club should know how important his future with us is. It'd be the end for me if we lost him.
I guess we will see what Canavan is made of.
My concern is that LG is managed by the same Management Company as the Backflipper where the $ is king. Hope he stays loyal.
#TitansThruNThru #WeAreReady
dragons must be desperate to sign a 15 gamer.... who has had two decent injuries already..
Mary can **** off and grow his own halves... have they developed anyone of their good players there aside from aitken?
widdop, marshall, dugan - their guns are all imports.
If LG can refuse the Immortal bozo and all Manly have to offer, surely he can repel advances of the stodgy saints

Lets not forget he already has stayed loyal when he turned down a larger offer from Manly to sign his current contract. These guys have limited playing lives and can't be blamed if they follow the bigger contracts. I hope the Titans use some of their spare money this year to prop him up for future years if need be.
