If we're going after Hannay why re-sign Burt?
I was going to say Exactly but you followed it with.
We already have one nuffy who kicks goals we don't need two.

Then
Hannay hasn't made a linebreak in years, and in the Cowboys backline that's just terrible.
To which I agree 100%. He's been a passenger at the Cowboys the last few years. Spending a lot of time in QLD cup & out injured I think he's a little bit beyond his best.
I am mostly concerned by his injury history. I think think if he could stay fit he offers somthing. Not more than players on the current roster offer but he'd be a good centre for depth. I wouldn't move Smith for him. I think Smith is the better player!
So what are the plans for Burt if we are looking at Hannay? I like Burt not just as a Goal kicker but also as a player. I did see mentioned here that Hagan perhaps had eyes for him as a fullback. Whether that's a good idea or not is another story, but say it's true. Between the numbers 1 & 5 Hannay probably would be behind or at least be pushed by all:
Burt
Inu
Hayne
Tahu
Grothe
B Smith
Reddy
Williams if he is still here?
Wagon even for the centres, pending the opposition
& after that the next few years will see the fluffy kittens pehaps make the leap to contention.
It raises questions..
A: Do we need a Hannay for depth?:-k
B: Is he any better than our existing roster options?:-k
C: Is the plan for a short term contract given the players comming through?:-k
D: What the f**k does he expect to be paid? Hopefully not big $$ because I'd rather see that put into these kids we've got! He's going to give much bang for the buck!
