Very strange move. I get going for blokes like Luke Parker, who present good leadership and will help develop the younger blokes. I’m not sure Darling is a leader or has the attributes you’d want for the list North have.

Sounds like WC veteran Jack Darling is headed there on a 3 yr deal. He’d be laughing.
Thought it was supposed to be 2 years. Wet Coke happy to let him go and pay part of his fat salary next year for a later pick, just wanna get his $800 salary next year off the books.

How many of those are West Coast paying for? It's not that bad a deal if North aren't paying much. They've got an a pretty good bunch of kids that need some experience around them for the next 2-3 years until they come into their own. They also need to take some pressure off Larkey. Darling at least adds someone else that needs defending
 
Why,,they are trying the moneyball effect ,,we also did that before our dynasty .
I’m not sure getting a guy who’s now a 32 yr old hack who’s on a severe decline on $800,000 for season 2025 is the definition of a Moneyball recruit. A Moneyball recruit would be Matt Taberner on less than half this.

He's on 800k next year ,but won't get that in 2026,probably more in the 5-600k ,which isn't entirely money ball,but for a experienced premiership player it's smart money

Yeah agree, I don’t mind this by North.
