David Mead

DAVID’S NEXT DEAL

The Gold Coast are in serious danger of losing David Mead as interest from Sydney NRL clubs intensifies.

Having already attracted the attention of Manly and Canterbury, Market Watch can reveal Parramatta have had informal discussions about luring Mead south, with the versatile outside back looking to continue his journey as a No.1.

The arrival of Jarryd Hayne at the Titans will result in player casualties but Mead won’t necessarily be one of them with the veteran player allowance the club’s best chance to keep the 27-year-old.

Mead qualifies for the salary cap exemption having spent more than six consecutive years with the one club.

The PNG product has been at the Titans since 2008 where he was part of their NYC side before debuting in first grade a year later.

But the Sea Eagles and Bulldogs are favourites to land his signature.

With Curtis Rona eyeing an early exit from his Bulldogs deal in order to join rugby franchise Western Force, Mead could hold the key.

Rona is under contract for 2017 but able to earn more money if he switches codes.

The Bulldogs are likely to grant the New Zealand product a release if they can snare Mead’s signature.

He would be good for the wing. Runs very hard for a relatively small guy and has speed to burn, can turn our half chances into tries .

 

[Spoonman84]

No thanks. He's lost a lot of pace and is small.

 

[Mr Invisible]

Do the media not realise Western Force are almost broke?

This would be such a lazy signing. Should be letting Eastwood go along with the others so we can make a big play for Holmes. Wont want to stay on the wing forever.

Yep pretty stupid tbh, could have even had a shot at Nathan Ross, but as always our clubs decisions are made when its to late an no quality players are left to make a play for. Hell with the cash i would even try entice Fusitua to leave the Warriors, as his finishing is excellent.

As long as he takes perrets spot is sign the devil

I would crash the yoghurt truck hard if we signed Holmes

No more short wingers lol

Fusitua has looked great this year, I think centre is his spot but he pretty much plays across the whole backline with little trouble. Surely there a better options than a broken down Mead?

 

[Mr Invisible]

Is Nathan Davis still available? Sure he snapped his ankle badly recently ... BUT ... decent prospect and fast!

On another note, why doesn't our club look into Kato Ottio, or Gideon Gela-Mosby?

 

[FaceBreaker]

no thanks, you need to be 6"3 minimum to be a winger these days unless you are naturally gifted I.e Valentine homes.

Hope we don't sign him.

 

[M4cca]

Signing wouldn't make sense he wants to play fullback and he's no more of a fullback than bmoz is

 

[GDR]

ive been calling for Fusitua since last year ... this was before he even got a crack in first grade this year.. he was behind Ashford and Jono wright in the pecking order at the start of the season !! he would have been cheap .. now half the comp would want him on their roster .. should of brought him over with RFM..

 

[Bulldogs09]

I was all over Fusitu'a and the other fella that pissed off to Union I think that couldn't lock a spot down last year. Both screamed of potential.

 

[Mr Invisible]

Henare Wells ...

Or Adam Quinlan .... he was the bloke playing for St Merge the other week at fullback.

Given the chance in a capable side he could carve up AND he can slot in and cover halves need be.

1. Quinlan
2. Bmoz
3. Jmoz
4. Holland
5. Hoppa

Do you seriously think we will win a comp with Quinlan.....no chance

Jacob Gagan, from memory i think he scored a try (possibly the winning one) in the big comeback against the Roosters a few years back, looked like a solid prospect back then. I'd imagine he's still running around with Newtown.

Quinlan is shit house. He was dumped by the dragons, dumped by St. Helens, dumped by parra and now back to dragons. He is a reserve grader
