Wowzers, I wasn't expecting him to come that cheap.

Very happy with this.

imagine trading your captain for a future, future third round pick... Unreal.

Also that’s a 3rd rounder in 2027 where tassie get 10 extra picks as well. It’s basically a give away. prob we paying more of his contract.

given we lost oliver and trac I think he’s a good choice.

This is a solid move. Welcome Jack!

Ross doing Ross things

Welcome Jack. Max will be happy to have another leader carry the load.

Saints just nuked their culture.

Losing Marshall will have the same effect

This has James McDonald move written all over it.

Says a lot about what King and the club are looking to do and where they see weaknesses. Yes, game style, more attack etc. etc., but we badly need leadership and maturity both onfield and off, especially after losing ANB and Gus.

Will help steady the ship.

Jack Steele just the sort of person/player King wants me reckons

Not a third year ....please... will we ever learn

I'm overseas and out of the loop but with Flanders choosing Saints Jack is almost certainly gone.

Is there a knock on him, is his body cooked? Is he past his best?

We are in desperate need of culture change and leadership qualities and i would have thought this guy has it in spades.

We are bottom 6 for a few more years I reckon and need a no DH policy to turn this club around ... on and off the field.

Good call 😎

You know we can spread his deal out over 3 years...

And he's a solid citizen.

Ironic that it was the Saints game that shone the brightest spotlight on this

You've got to give something to get something, just the way it is. He wasn't coming unless he got something on top of what he already had.

Steele is a good get and a good piece of business at that price

Club moved well after the Oliver news

Good leadership, good club man, the anti Oliver. An excellent trade off

Having any site problems @Demonland ? - 'cause I am.

Its a good pickup if he can get his body right. Saints supporters seem pretty sad which is also a good sign.

Happy to get a couple of solid citizens in Steele and Checkers.

So I thought we were getting a good player in billings but was disappointed.

However I'm a bit more hopeful with Steele. He obviously comes with leadership experience & I'm pretty sure he's a good ball user.
