Meads 25 (26 next year)... so getting up there in age.

I'd prefer Mata'utia or Corey Thompson.

Brett Morris is a better player and Hoffman wants to stay in queensland.

Mead can come in 2015
mead is on a diff level to thompson even though i like the guy mead is far superior imo
mead wont dick us around like sione and his bros will
sione wants to stay in newc and is using us for leverage to bump up his own and bro contract figures

Can we all stop talking about Mead?

He's signed till the end of 2016 with the Titans.

He wants to play fullback but has only played like 11 games in his entire career there (and scored 5 tries), compared to the majority of his career as a winger (88 games and 46 tries).

So his strike rate on the wing is actually better than at fullback.

contracts don't seem to mean much these days and you have to allow for 5 games @ playing a new position where he's disadvantaged in those stats. imo he could be a better FB than we've got at the club for not a huge price tag.

Thompson to fullback.

for the price we paid surely he'd be at fullback

My thought is he is not that much better then Perrett.

Sure he is arguable slightly better. Though do we do that then waive the white flag on Sione for 2016, or do we stick with Perrett for another year and go hard at Sione and if we miss him we sign someone else.

That's if Des doesn't see B Morris as the 2015 fullback.

I've seen reports of 400k through to 500k. Either way it is hardly 800k+ like the elite fullbacks.

I think Uate is paid something close to the 400k...

Every time I think of David Mead, I just think of his goal kicking in the world cup tbh

Another fullback would be the end of Perrett's first grade at Canterbury, wish people would stop this obsession with another fullback, Castle isn't buying into it.
