Should we make a play for Matt Gillett

[MountMontoya]

Apparently he is free to test the market as a free agent, should we try and sign him?

He is a quality backrower

 

[NickT]

Quality defender.
Adds aggression to the pack.
Steps up in the big games.
Never goes missing.
Sign him

 

[Papa Emeritus]

We definitely need a couple of quality backrowers.

How times change.

 

[Bad Billy]

Fuck yea.

 

[Nano]

Age is a factor too honestly gotta be alittle cautious but he is a good player

 

[JayBee]

What we need:

a) Quality edge backrower
b) Gun centre
c) Speedy winger
d) some balls

He covers both a and d

 

[Mr Invisible]

Turns 30 in August, Broncos will only let him go if he's no longer any good.

Would prefer someone younger, as he's at tail end of his career. If Broncos don't want him he'd be better heading to ESL.

If anyone target Korbin Sims and Tom Opacic as both are available next season.

Sims into the lock role, Opacic to replace Hoppa.

 

[Brendan7]

He’d cost 800k minimum not sure I’d do that as good as he is.

 

[addoujspark]

If he's available fuck yeah

 

[Dawain87]

If we do hopefully he turns into a Stagg and not a Hannant.

 

[Bob dog]

Yep, some hard Queenslanders on order please, the Hethrington connection.

 

[Freakzilla]

He's the best edge forward in the NRL so yes sign him.

 

[Natboy]

He’s only on $50 a year up there because everyone up there does it for the love of Wayno. If he didn’t want crazy money I’d consider him

 

[finchie]

Nope
Strike centre and a winger first to improve this inept slow arse backline

 

[Brizdog]

Might be too expensive. I think he would be asking for 700k. But great player otherwise.

 

[Mr Invisible]

So:
Korbin Sims and Tom Opacic.... would anyone take either of them?

Both off contract end of season currently with Broncos.

Ditto Jamayne Issako

Opacity to replace josh Morris, I’d even offer Oates coin for wing

Isaako top player... I’d go for cotric/Oates

 

[Mr Invisible]

Cotric isn't available till end of 2020 season.

Maybe it's just me but I don't rate Oates... He's too big, bulky, and slow for a winger.

I think we are fine for wingers, it's Hoppa in the centres that doesn't convince me. But with Frawley out of the way we might see our centres get better ball now.

People forget we've also got (injured) Clay Priest... he can slot straight into lock, and maybe that was the idea (and Elliott is just benchwarming).

Fensom is available too (he was an animal the other year).. but like Gillett he's older.

Fensom?? That’s Tolmans clone!
