I rate Arrow quite a lot. I rate his missus also.. But I still find it very strange that most of those who oppose signing Latrell because it's too risky have no problem signing Arrow for a similar amount.

If Latrell was too big a risk for that money, then shouldn't Arrow be as well? Especially considering he has had a series of injuries already and since we're reasonably well served in the forwards for now?

900k plus for a middle forward is as insane as $1 million for a game breaking centre is meant to be.

New player arrives at club on big money and with Megan Gale v2.0 on his arm. Yeah that isn't going to cause any problems in the team at all, no-uh, no chance, no siree...

Because Arrow does the hard yards and is very good offensive and defensively. He also hasn't had the luxury of playing in an absolutely stacked team where absolutely everything goes his way. He also isn't demanding 100's of thousands more than the next forward in the game while picking fights with people over the internet lol.

Btw I don't think anyone has said they would pay near a million for him on here anyway.

Would be a great signing.

This injury prone stuff is a bit of a myth. He’s played 38 games in the past 2 seasons since joining the Titans. When you factor in his involvement in both origin series’ and byes, he’s probably only missed 4 or 5 club fixtures due to injury.

If we don’t choose to extend Tolman beyond next year, then this bloke should be a high priority target.
Not really a myth. He has been playing through injury and regularly shits himself on field. Won't last long if he keeps going like that.

Yeah but you of all people should know that 800k plus for a forward isn't worth it unless they're Taumalolo, Haas or Fifita etc. Those players have game breaking ability and are near impossible to stop. Arrow certainly isn't in that category as good as he is.

800k plus is what it would cost for Arrow as that is what he's looking for and what the Titans or Souths will likely have pay to pay to secure his services.

Arrow to replace Tolman and interchange eventually being 6... It would be a very smart move imo I'd Pay 800k for him.

2021 why not. Would be an asset and leader of the pack. We aren’t going to keep many of the established forwards you’d think that are off next year.
Jacko, CHN, Toomaga, Stimson,Napa,RFM and Arrow would do nicely from 2021.

Yep potential there for sure. Ideally I'd like to see;
8. Thompson
10. Arrow
11. CHN
12. Stimson
13. Jackson

14. Utility or Elliot I guess
15. Mariner
16. Napa
17. To'Omaga

As good as Taumalolo, Haas and Fifita though? Arrow is good but he's not that good and doesn't deserve to be paid as much as them.

If people thought $1 million is overpaying for Latrell, which I agree it is to an extent, then 800k plus for Arrow is also overpaying. Especially when guys like Matterson, Murray, Finucane etc who are as good as Arrow only earn 500k or so.

Sign him up with an incentive to make her the head cheer leader. It's win-win.
