Corey Oates

[J.moz]

Should he be the replacement for nightingale. A player that keeps getting better and is what we need a tall young experienced winger with speed .

 

[aquiin]

Souths and Cowboys looking at him as a backrower. Half a dozen other teams have been mentioned in various rumours.

 

[Brutalitops]

Yes. You find room for a player like Corey Oates in your team. The replace from within argument has merit but the fact is Oates is one of the top wingers in the world.

Wouldn't pass him as a backrower either. The Ben Hunt connection definitely makes him desirable. They combined for many many tries in Brisbane

Oates would be a great replacement for Nightingale. I actually like the idea of him playing centre. He has a great build for a centre. That may be his best position right now.

 

[MilanDragon]

Not as a backrower.

As a winger or even centre, yes please.

 

[JDHD]

He wants to be a backrower so I’d just lie to him, sign him as a backrower and then play him on the wing.

 

[Life's Good]

Another player, another ‘sign him’ thread. FMD.
Oates has made it clear he wants to play back row, we don’t have a vacancy. He won’t sign with us to play wing.

As long as the $$ add up Im sure its fine

They won't. We can't afford him. He'll go somewhere where he'll have $150K as a TPA. Our total TPAs for 2018 were $26K.

They won't. We can't afford him. He'll go somewhere where he'll have $150K as a TPA. Our total TPAs for 2018 were $26K.

And apparently Brisbane are more like $2.2m in TPA's in total, quite the difference

 

[Bests Golden Boots]

If the media can be believed he knocked back $700 grand.
No way in the world he's worth anywhere near that kind of money as a winger or a back rower.

 

[gitano]

I would pass on wild Oates. There's better wing and backrow options.

He wants more money than wingers earn. He is looking for a club that will play him in the backrow at around 500k.

He would be a good fit in our backrow if we moved Frizell to prop, Sims to the right edge and Oates / Leilua to the left edge..

 

[possm]

If the media can be believed he knocked back $700 grand.
No way in the world he's worth anywhere near that kind of money as a winger or a back rower.

And so all clubs except for the Storm and Roosters will shy away from that 700k price tag only to learn that he signed with one of these two clubs for 500k.

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Corey Oates? No thanks. Watching him play tonight and he is ordinary.

 

[Brutalitops]

Jeez here we go, consistent excellent player for years linked to Dragons, people here then pay more attention to him in games and see an error and decide no thanks just from that

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

He’s consistently had a few errors in him. Not just tonight. There’s a reason why the Broncos are letting him go you know.

 

[Saints of George]

No thanks to Oates.
Really can't stand him or this new breed of self entitled player.
He'll just be another Dugan, an over paid prima donna. I'll pass.

 

[BennyV]

The Broncos arent letting him go. They want to re-sign him as a winger. He wants to play back row. Simples.

Who would you think would solve the problem.
To me we need speef and size.
Do you think toupo and lomax.
Or somone else
