I noticed Sorro mentioned his ability to play hooker in yesterday’s presser. Played for the Jets last year and played junior football there.

Can play edge, middle and hooker at a pinch. Not the worst idea he’s that forward utility.

Sorro is one of those late bloomers, one of the fittest blokes in the club too.

I’m with Frenzy here on Peats.

I think from the get go he and Holbrook just never clicked. Tits have some good young attacking 9’s coming through so I can see the coach’s point of view here especially taking into account the coin Peats is on up there.

Peats has just listed his Palm beach home, expecting another kid and both he and his mrs have family ties here in Sydney. At the right price I think he would be a handy addition in that utility role.

I agree .... don’t re-sign that nufti Cameron King and get Peats instead. What a waste of coin he was. Not a single solitairy minute we got out of him. See ya Cameron ..... thanks for the .... oh that’s right there are no memories.

We signed a guy who had nrl experience into a back up role to play as the replacement starting booker in case of injury for $65k, and suggest a waste of money, but want to sign peats for 200-250k and happy to watch him play 2 games in the year??

So what you’re saying is that we needed a back up hooker for the back up hooker ? We still didn’t get any value out of him and wasted $65K.

We meaning Newtown or we meaning the Sharks?

I'm of the belief King was signed by the Sharks and was a top squad member. Could be wrong but he's not listed on the Jets site.

Does that mean we've done a dodgy if he is only on $65k because minimum wage for an NRL player in 2020 is $105k. He was signed pre COVID as well.

Only makes your point more valid, I realise that, but I'm interested how the Sharks would get away with paying unders.

BTW who says Peats would be on $200-$250k?

Where do people get these numbers from?

Probably all mute points anyway. I think they'll re sign King.

Peats is done. Can defend well but thats where it ends.

McCullogh looked like he was done at Broncs came alive at Knights, Peats offers us a security blanket in that we have a young pack if Brailey gets injured we would have coverage of a guy who played SOO and that was from Titans team and can tackle

A shark signing. I pulled the figures out of the ether. My point being, King is cheap. Peats is not, for what he will be used as.

I have no idea who gets paid what.
