Hear me out but YES...

However not as a 5/8th. I'd sign him as a fullback and tell him to get on the treadmill and lose 10kilos. His best seasons were for the Raiders as a fullback.

Yes for the right price. He has more talent than anyone else we have in the positions that he plays

At a good price 100 percent back in Sydney with a sea change at a new club also with burton there he won’t feel the pressure of doing it all on his own gut feeling says he probably kills it with JAC and co

Exactly right. I’d be on board for that.

Fuck 400-500k he’s worth the gamble.

After Pangai and Brandon are signed ffs.

he is not worth the gamble, he doesnt have the heart or the dedication, we want winners who set an example not lazy players who dont do the 1%

Hard to argue with it. That said I agree he was electric at raiders at fullback. He was also a beast when broncos made The grand final and lost to Thurston.

I dunno. Guess desperation sets in for us all. 66-0 ffs.

can see your arguement, i just think we are at the stage where we need to get it right, and i think thats why Tbaz is not panic buying. The situation this year will probably be good for the future as we will see how these young guys handle the step up. The was forward like penrith have shown is to have juniors come through and then add some hard heads and winners around them.

What is with people wanting to sign reject players instead of a proven fg coach.

People on here are allergic to coaches with a 50% or greater win record.

Just a suggestion but we all know the potential that Anthony Milford has and the only reason his reputation took a hit was because he was on a million dollars and wasn’t performing towards the end of his contract and could possibly benefit from a change…. Still only 26 would you take him on a reduced contract knowing that he could cover multiple positions?

No need for nasty comments please, just opinions.
He couldn't be any worse than what we have, actually he would be a massive improvement.

A priority player is a needed missing link
Discarded players are the ones you take a gamble on if the cap permits
You mean discarded players like Napa Flanagan et al? No thanks. We have JAC and Burton coming here next year because they want to build something special. Not Milf, as good as he was 5 years ago at the Raiders, has shown he has a bad attitude and is not a leader. If we’re paying massive coin to someone they need to bring something special

i reckon its all about the players
because the best coaches in the game lose when tje playerd are gone.
look at cleary and bennett and i bet that if Smith and Monster went down so will melb
The good coaches just get the good players (bennett) or have an eye for talent (Flanagan).
