Back to Ryan, sure he would be a great signing? but think about these few facts:
- he would be what 28, 29?
- Do you sacrifice Willams Mannah etc for his signature
- It's 2 years away, alot can happen between now and then eg form, injuries etc
- If his form is still good he would command $350,000 on open market.
My opinion? no. I think he's a great player, but unless he was to have a significant pay cut i dont want to risk loosing younger players from our Flegg and ball sides eg Mannah, Williams, Kelly etc. And yes i'm aware that many youngsters dont live up to there hype, but that's a risk we always have to take, and i'd rather a strong emphasis on junior development then be a club like the Roosters.
Sign for less with us and i'd welcome him with open arms and more.
