Terrible news for him and the club. What do you think the roosters plan is?

Not sure, but Aubs can fill in anywhere. Guess he will be the stop gap for the time being. I’m not overly familiar with our reggies ranks.

Probably Morris to centre and Ryan Hall to the wing.

 

[H.H]

Yep that's what Robbo will do. I have no doubt.

Really feel for the kid. Tough road ahead.

 

[The Fanatical Rooster]

Yes, it is unfortunate news. I feel very sorry for the poor young bloke.

Brett Morris could fill in, as could Aubo, but I am hoping that we might be able to make a play for someone before 1 March. I would be happy if we could get AD from Souths, Xerri from Cronulla (both are unlikely) or even perhaps Josh Morris. Playing with his brother could have some benefits.

If Teddy is injured too, then I think we will have no choice but to make a play for someone in the near future.

I wouldn't mind douehi, Xerri though I'm unsure of. I just don't think he is as good as everybody seems think he is but he is still very young so things can change.

 

[The Fanatical Rooster]

I agree on Doueihi, but I am not sure that I do about Xerri.

You are right, he is young, but I think he has shown enough to be regarded as a very bright prospect. He can work on his defence, but I think Fitzy and co would do just that if he came to us. His attack is very good, and that is natural born ability. I would rather have the attack in hand, as you can always work on the tackling style etc.

True. The roosters basically did that to Manu. If we were to get Xerri though, I'm not sure if we can snag him this year, as I think he has 2 years left at the Sharks? Wouldn't be surprised if we got him next year, as Morris, Hall have a high chance of retiring, paving the way for Xerri.

 

[The Fanatical Rooster]

Yes, you are right, Xerri is contracted this year and next.

Yes, right again, I think there is every chance that we could get him in 2021. He has knocked back the Sharks' five year deal, so I think that says a lot, reading between the lines.

I think we might also get Josh Morris. There are rumours today that we might be set to offer him something. Stay tuned jiorl. That would be a handy short term acquisition, and the benefits of him playing with his brother should not be discounted.
