IgnorantI'm not rapt in the idea of having a hooker take up a bench spot.![]()
Ignorant
We need 1 good hooker in our team and a back up. You can't honestly say mcinnes couldn't do the job as a back-up hooker and play maybe 2 or 3 games if cook suffers an injury or suspension.
Yea that's more in line with my thinking. I don't for a second believe we signed farah purely because mcinnes isn't good enough to be a back up hookerMaybe Madge sees Cook as a good Hooker, but believes Farah will be even better for the team, but that Cook is a better backup dummy half than McInnes.
Just a joke. I'm guessing you've skipped the last few pages of posts, which is fair enough.Please explain???

A player highly rated by the club and picked to play 19 games in 2016 finishing the year as 18th man suddenly isn't even good enough to be a back up?

If it was just mcinnes he was unhappy with then i don't think he would have gone for farah. It's like saying broncos are unhappy with travis wadell so are chasing Cameron Smith as back up.Madge may have seen McInnes as a player with potential and thought he would improve the part of his game where he isn't very strong (quick service from dummy half). Lack of improvement in that area after a lot of games may have made Madge decide to look elsewhere.
and Madge might not either. it may depend how many mins our forwards can play for

I sure did skip those posts, I think you two may be a couple of budding novelists.
Those tpa's aren't just free money. And it's limited to what each club can organise. From memory it's 600k in tpa deals. If we end up losing someone like reynolds because all the legal tpa money is tapped out then it won't have been a good deal. But as it stands noe yes it's a good deal, but it would of been a great deal for whatever club farah ended up at. With tigers paying so much it would of been a bargain, yet not many clubs took up the offer. I think it's because most clubs are set for the offer. It's like if you are offered free steak, yea everybody loves free steak, but if you already have a fridge and freezer full of the stuff then it's no point taking the free steak because it'll go to waste. We could just as easily released cam, got a rookie for back up and used that money towards areas we are short.I think with what the tigers are paying, with TPAs and the departure of Cam Souths will be getting Farah for zero extra dollars or maybe even a little better than that, it is a deal to good to resist.
According to RLW we have put in a late bid for Foran.
Maybe there is another possibility. Say the Sharks REALLY want Cook, and Cook wants to go there. Maybe a possibility is we let them have Cook if they give us Cherrington and a decent prop.
As far as I'm aware, we are only paying 150-200k of Farah's contract. I'm not sure as to whether this is paid through third party deals or not. Given that Brown has just signed with Eels, I'd imagine that we'd have a bit of space under the cap to play with.Those tpa's aren't just free money. And it's limited to what each club can organise.
