That’s what I think too. Too many judge him off this years form. And the whole Souths club has imploded. I think with a better coach and environment he should do well. But like you said short term deal until the kiddies are ready wouldn’t harm us at all. And we do have roster spots open with some recent departures.
O’Neill might get approached by the chooks now that they’re keen for a Keary replacement but I’m sure Gus is all over it…. Besides, the chooks go for “ready made” talent so it’s more likely they go hard for Jerome Hughes or an interim like DCE or SJ who might have 1-2yrs in them.
I did say that to a friend recently. We also have plenty of salary cap available though so not overly worried about keeping him. Like you said it’s doubtful the Roosters will go huge on him anyway as he would still require development.
Lol. His manager is Braith and they golf every 2nd week!
haha but smart man. He is playing chess while others are having succulent Chinese dinners.You think Ilias would be prepared to sign a short term contract knowing our juniors will likely take over in 2 -3 years?
Is he good enough for Rooster? Sandon Smith looks like a bigger talent too.
I think if he has first crack and 12 rounds to prove himself coming back from injury you’d think it’s good chance to prove himself? Worse case scenario he is back in reserves best case scenario he locks up the 7 jersey for the whole year.
I think he would do a 2 year with a option of 3 years for sure
Yes I agree he does have a great kicking game and defensive game he needs good players around him he would be a much better player he is a quick 23 year old who can only get better that’s his position 7 and always has but if he does come to the club expect a much more harder training session and and serious game plans
I doubt Canterbury will get rid of any of there 7s
