Not sure what to think about this one.. a few years ago I would have been fuming in re to the price tag, but the game is getting quicker and somebody like Kotoni is going to be a real weapon.. he could easily be the game's best centre if he can improve his defence

The Bulldogs have emerged as the hot favourites to sign gun centre Kotoni Staggs should he leave Brisbane next season.
The 22-year-old Staggs is the most sought-after centre in the game for 2022, with the Eels, Bulldogs and Titans all expressing interest in his services - and other clubs counting their pennies as well.
Staggs is happy at the Broncos but the Bulldogs are believed to be offering him in the vicinity of $800,000 a season - a sum Brisbane would find hard to match.
The Bulldogs are in the middle of a massive rebuild after several disappointing seasons, with half their squad off-contract for 2022.
Coach Trent Barrett is certain to cull several under-performing players to make room for Staggs, who is in contention for NSW State of Origin selection this year after starring in an under-performing Broncos team last season.
