The thing with these types of signings are they arent players currently that we would use or need or get excited about, if they were they wouldnt be available with their own willing to chip in to get rid of them, its like no one got excited about Milky when St marys signed, but every now and then one of these bums turns out to be a milky or a Sorro.

Now does Sloan look good now? No of course not. But our young FBs in Attard and Edgar, when he was their age he was just as highly rated yeah, so there is talent there. Can we get something out of him, i dont know but i dont mind if they try for a year.
I'd much prefer to have a throw at the stumps in other positions. The fact that Slone is a little bitch is also a worry

My take on Tyrell Sloan.

If he stays at the Dragons he gets about 500k for about 3 years at the Bears.

If he spends a year at Penrith he gets 600k plus for probably 4 years because of his age.

The old "Penrith system premium" comes into effect because we see every coach just has to have our players to sprinkle the magic dust over all the other one season wonders they paid overs for.

Mal Meninga will be NO different...

The difference is this time we have a few players aging out and we should use the new Perth team to move them on.

Don't disagree with that.

My point is now the players and their managers are seeing the extra contracts that Penrith players get moving forward.

Tigers are being investigated for something, not sure what but Gee it is disappointing for them. They have some good players that need a good system to be in, but has Luai ship sailed?

I say yes as I think Talagi is doing a hell of a job these last month, 2 months ago I would say yes.. but would Luai make us a better team?

I am a Luai fan but nope, These players need to see the risk should they take the cash

My money is on you Soc but I must warm my money on the horse in the Melbourne cup is still pending as he is still running
Mine hit the front in the cup and then the jockey hit reverse gear, I’ve never seen a horse go backwards so fast, must of run the best time for the last 400m going backwards
