We also have Ben Marschke - still developing but has a nice all round game

Big opportunity for him to impress if we can go back to back in the CC
Struggles to perform consistently at CC level not NRL quality in any form.

Didn't Egan play a few games at centre also this season? I think he would be a good signing and we're running out of options and he's only 22.

He would be a very handy pick up.But this shoulder injury/surgery is a worry..

We weren’t interested in Segeyaro when he was offered to us on minimum wage due to off field stuff and Luke looks like going to Manly at this stage. I’d rather sign no one and persist with JMK for a year and/or give Hetherington a run than buy someone for the sake of a year on anymore than minimum salary
Signing no one isn't an option. Hetherington isn't ready for NRL. A short term solution, preferably a mercenary type signing for 1 year, so it doesn't affect our 2021 signings/$ available. We need to have a really good crack at Grant, giving him his 1st proper opportunity and contract in the NRL for 2021. We aren't going to be able to make any long term signings without overpaying so it just makes sense recruiting like this for next year IMO. We have to spend 1m either with these types of signings or front loading contracts.

Do you think Tommy Talau would've made his debut for us this season if he never joined the Tigers? Highly doubt it tbh.

Are paying overs and overpaying your three favourite words?

I understand this situation we're in. You obviously have no clue. Even every other topic you try to jump into you just have absolutely no idea.

Turbo Dog had the signature dish of "Go Dogs!"

You need a signature dish of "Over n Out!"

Segeyaro is signed by Broncos. Forget about him. Egan has ability and needs to make the next step up.
He will improve with more NRL experience. Hetherington needs to transition from Flegg to CCup.
He is a good number 9 in waiting.

Segeyaro off contract, he only signed a 1 year deal. He was an emergency signing for McCullough as he was injured during the season. McCullough and Turpin will be the Hooker rotation next season (unless they can/want to move on McCullough). If we sign Egan for more then 1 year then we miss out on Harry Grant, which surely has to be our priority.

Yep, the wraps on Harry Grant are enormous and if B.Smith wants to play Hooker, he surely will go elsewhere for an opportunity...

Egan hasn’t really made the step up to first grade, came into the league with some hype but has been average at best.
Had a few good early stints but then hit a plateau.. Kids a good footy player but doesn't look like his got a bag of tricks for the big leagues.

I rate him.
He'll need time to develop but will be a great 9 in time.
Coming off a shoulder reconstruction will hamper his 2020 season, but no doubt in my mind this would be a great buy.
How do you make a player an offer when they need a shoulder reconstruction.he won’t be playing till June next year and even then it’s risky.feel sorry for him tho.saw a game this year where he killed it as Hooker.
That’s why chocolate soldiers signed api.
It’s just too much of a risk and we haven’t got time to wait till next June for a potential star...

If he's a potential star he's worth the wait...
He's only 22, won't see the best of him for a couple of years regardless. He's worth a punt particularly if Panthers pay half the freight.
If he's got it, then come 2021 when we have some class in the playing group he'll be ready to fire and hopefully feel an obligation to the club who took a punt on him. If he doesn't cut it we're no further behind then what we already are.
