Okenbour or Waddell?

[Nasheed]

Nasheed here,

It has come to my attention that these two players have evolved into similar style players.

There be every chance none of these playas get a contract next year, BUT, Imma think one of them might.

But not both.

So my question is, if you have to choose Jayden or Corey, which one is it and why?

JO:
PRO:
Jaq of all trades, can play every position on the field except hooker. Great coverage.
CON: Preys on the teenage, defensive lapses, unfitness, hands

CW:
PRO:
Hectic, tries hard, busts a nut in defence, some decent legspeed

Cons:
small, error prone.

Similar players?. Yeah both shouldn’t be Top 30 players in any NRL squad era

They are both ok depth players.

They just need quality around them.

I will vote for Waddell as I think he is needed for his defensive efforts.

 

[Dogs4eva13]

I actually agree with this premise for once simple facts are we are not signing 5 or 6 forwards in the off season maybe 1 or 2. Means we have to keep one of these guys, I'll go Waddell at least he has busted a nut all season, not sure why he didn't the previous 2 but still.

 

[Moedogg]

I don't think Waddell's that bad. He's actually improved from last year. I think he would be good depth in a winning team.

Not really because we shouldn't be extending either of them

Who is better for the same price? Remember Waddell is only on 180 and JO probably even less.

Dont just be in cut,cut,cut mode all the time.

Players need to know that there is a future at the bulldoggs. They wont see this if we just fire everyone always. We cant just have a team of 18 yr old kids on min wage in the forwards plus TPJ and Kiks. Nor can we pay hard dollars on medium players because of the cap.

None of them.

I'd take almost anyone over those 2, even just promoting a young kid. I don't think they're worth minimum wage/top 30 spot.

 

[Nasheed]

For those who dont want Waddell.

Which player on this list can we gets for a similar price that is better?
The ones I bolded wont come cheap.
Dane Aukafolau, Billy Burns, Bryce Cartwright, Michael Chee-Kam, Tyson Frizell, Tyrell Fuimaono, Wade Graham, Jack Johns, Brodie Jones, Taniela Sadrugu, Apisalome Saukuru, Alex Seyfarth, Tariq Sims, Bayley Sironen, Chris Smith, Joseph Vuna, Clay Webb

Waddell isn't a top 17 player, using your list tho Cartwright only option.

 

[Nasheed]

Waddell isn't a top 17 player, using your list tho Cartwright only option.

So you want Cartwright? Sure.

Now how much can you get him for?

He will not come for less than 350, and he has defensive deficiencies.

So here we are with the practical complexity of the exercise.

We pay double for a player who is a better attacker but worse defender.

We can also promote a kid and bank the cash to use in other positions/players = still better than keeping Waddell.

So you want a kid, so Semrani or someone?
We replace a competent depth player with another kid? In the most inexperienced team in the nrl?
