Parra looking at Luke O'Donnell

[parra-matters]

so we have money to play with?
all reports was Inu and Mateo were pushed out due to salary cap, seems like they were not needed.

they were pushed out cos they wanted/got offered more money than we'd fit them in our salary cap - if they only wanted 200K and 100K i'm sure we could have found room :lol:

yes, more the later than the former...

Doing the sums it appears the 3 players to leave so far were taking up about $900k of the salary cap

Sika Manu probably averages less time on the paddock than LOD, cant see the value in either.

 

[Eelementary]

first of all, I would be interested in a bloke like O'Donnell, I think "if fit" is the perfect player we need, I wouldn't go any further than a 3 year deal...

just remember, he may well be asking for a 4year deal but he may not be asking as much some of you thing, also alot of people aren't going to agree with me here but if we were going to war I would probably rather have O'Donnell than Feleti..

I'd agree. For all Feleti's size and skill, when the going gets tough, Mateo gets going - away from the tough stuff.

i think he'll forever be a brilliant bench player but for 80 minutes????....mmmm!! pass.

 

[Eelementary]

I agree!

 

[Parra Guru]

I'd be happy with LOD. But I think they should make him an offer that works for the club and just stick to it. Don't play games with him.

Jeremy Smith plenty of gusto, but also plenty of injuries lately.

 

[Craig Johnston]

I think we've gone through this before CJ, no chance in hell for a hooker unless atleast 1 of the 3 currently in our top 25 leave the club a year early.

and we already discussed how that's possible

and have you forwarded your proposal to DA, Sharpy and Ossie??

 

[Parra Steve]

I wouldnt mind Luke here at the right price. Injury prone? maybe, then again we signed shackleton and he hasnt got that great of a track record as far as injuries are concerned.

 

[JessEel]

Imagine Luke O'Donnell and Nathan Hindmarsh mentoring a generation of 2nd Rowers coming through :thumb

 

[The Engineers Room]

O Donnell if we don't get Jeremy Smith. Smith suits our team better.

 

[parra pete]

just like Shane Shackleton???

And Krisnan Inu, Luke Burt and EGJ.....

all Canberra bound are they??

 

[caylo]

O'Donnell is a good player and a rep quality backrower. He makes good strong meters and is a good defender who hits hard but i would not pay an arm and a leg for him, as said above set a price and stick to it essentially take it or leave it type of an offer.

I wouldnt have a problem with Sika or ODonnell as an addition to our squad but neither are worth big $$

 

[parra pete]

Wish they were....

 

[parra pete]

Nah, just kidding....

 

[Hellsy]

We need some freaking agression that's for sure. Someone to bitch slap the opposition, get up and bitch slap them again
