Neil Henry -> New Dragons coach. Could even be before the year is out.

Having success with one ex-con has inspired Parra to get another

Would come cheap. Good depth signing

Wicks was a crap player before his legal troubles. I doubt much has changed at all.
Ordinarily, I'd agree - but in this case, Wicks has shed 20kg, and will undoubtedly want to impress to finish off his jolted NRL career.
From the club's perspective, they get a bloke who is clearly focussed and committed (as evidenced by his weight loss and desire to have another shot at NRL footy) and he would come cheap.
Low risk, but a high potential reward - Wicks isn't going to displace any of our First Grade props unless his form is that good.
Sorry but he could lose 40kgs and still would be crap. Add in his off field issues, which are far worse than say Carney or Dugan's (for example) and I think this could be a bad signing. I know the Eels need depth in the forwards but this one, to me, reeks of desperation.

Wicks schmicks.
Rubbish druggo degenerate.
No chance the Roosters let him go. Who else would play in the halves if either Maloney or Pearce went down?
Doubt Mortimer is silly enough to head to a side desperate for cover, when he can wait to sign for another side with more guarantees of a starting role 2015 and beyond.
