In the lower grades it's just about giving everyone enough game time. It's why Flegg-eligible players get dropped when there's too many older players needing a spot in reserve grade. In this case we have enough halves and not enough centres, so the utility goes to centre. Rankin can't play there.
Or no nrl team is interested.... enter waqa blake
His profile at least lists him as a centre: https://www.nswrl.com.au/players/nsw-cup/parramatta-eels-nsw-cup/daejarn-asi/
In a world where Jordan Grant and Sam Loizou can have top 30 contracts, there is always NRL interest in players like Opacic and Blake. But the money in the UK as a top 17 player is better than the money for non-top 17 players in Australia.
My mail who lets just say is a bit of a footy savant reckons he’s not a centre. Best spot is 1 or 6. This same merkin told me that Hopgood would be one of the buys of the year and was pissed his Cows missed out on him. He played 20’s with Benny Hunt and coaches in QLD at a decent level. LBA’s also give him special feelings. You’d like him.
I've got a hunch you'd be a lot better than Waqa.
He’s just come back from a bung knee plus Miller-Stephen isn’t going to lose his spot based on the way he’s started.
Well a half decent game at centre by Asi, means that Waqa can be dropped for another Top 30 player. We badly need some pressure in that position.
Yep. We certainly do.
It's about supply and demand. Blake wouldn't be on huge money but he would be on top 17 money. Once he's off contract it depends on the market. Given recent form it's conceivable he might only get $200k somewhere fighting for the fourth spot in some club's starting outside backs, similar to Simonsson, Russell and Dunster. But also given the vast open spaces allowed by ESL defences, his speed might be very useful over there. They might see him a marquee worth $300k (for example). Anyone who has scored 60 tries in the NRL (and is under 30 years of age) would star in the UK.
Only powerful millionaires have quality little birds.
Manly took Woods in exchange but let Tapau walk.
Good call. Who gives a f**k.
