I’m not sure how a 33 year old fast bowler will help us but anything is worth a shot to stop people whingeingSailor might be good as backup but I think we need some experience.
talented kids are cool but they are projects.
Jackson bird would be handy.
The Dell might look youthful, but he's closer to 45...100%
Wendell Sailor at 40 years of age would suit us to a tee.
Hoodrat? Because he's black he has to be from the hood even though his Dad earned millions of dollars and Tristan would have grown up with more money than most people?Nasheed here,
no.
Stop going for random hoodrat wingers.
He cant make the spoon team ffs. Nasheed.
Until we sign him and then he’s shitExplained in the other thread why this is no brainer, really don't know why people would be against this.
Theres a reason they’re a spoon team.Nasheed here,
no.
Stop going for random wingers.

Your point about the 20s and reserve grade situation is very valid - even if just giving consideration to u20s there would be over 200 players who are missing out on the opportunity to impress for contracts - good recruitment programs will ensure clubs will know who the quality players are. Opportunity to play will be a strong incentive - maybe as much as the dollars on offer.If he’d come cheap and was willing to earn his spot (which doesn’t sound like he is at saints) then he would be worth something around a minimum or just above.
in my books Meaney and hoppa are ahead of him. Only difference is you don’t know if this guy will become anything and jury is still out. Is it worth a punt? Or better off spending more and getting someone that can perform from day 1.
There are plenty of players like him around at the moment. And with no u20s or reserve grade they would be looking for a chance to even train with the big boys let alone have an opportunity at lining up this year. We should be smashing the phones to see if anyone is available. We could get someone like grant. Nrl ready just stuck behind a few players.
Hope pay and the Anderson’s know what they are doing. If we re-sign tolman I’m done
You reminded me of the chants of "sniff the tryline wilson" aimed at scotty wilson at belmore.If he can find the "white line" faster than his dad then sign him up.
Is he a better fullback than Hoppa or DWZ?definately, i cant believe he isnt playing in the dragons team somewhere at the moment. he could be a great fullback
Don't need him? Bro have you seen our backs hahaha. Genuine footy sense, pace and footwork...brings a lot of what we lack and I'd throw him straight in at centre (has played there before). Kid would've done far more damage than Smith if he was playing in place of him.Nope, dont need him
I've always rated Hoppa as a good fullback. He doesnt have speed but he has great hands, very safe and organises the defence well from the back. He always ices the overlaps as well.
There are other areas we need to strengthen before fullback. Hooker and the halves especially
You’d buy him and throw him straight into centre in first grade? Christ you should’ve been a recruitment advisor to Crusher Cleal.Don't need him? Bro have you seen our backs hahaha. Genuine footy sense, pace and footwork...brings a lot of what we lack and I'd throw him straight in at centre (has played there before).
