A couple of things. Firstly, Teo is worth 700k. If he didn't leave for Union he would have run on for the Kangaroos at the end of 2014. If Trent Merrin is worth 700k than so is Teo. Also if we have to let Walker go to get him then so be it. Other than Inglis, name a centre that has won a side a comp? Outside backs are a dime a dozen (although we seem to struggle to get them), but big agressive second rowers win you premiership (Teo and Sam in 2014 anyone?). If I had to choose between Dylan and Teo for the next 4 years, both on about 700k, I'd take Teo every time.

Secondly, Reynolds is better than Keary. Reynolds kicking game is good, Keary doesn't have a kicking game. Kerry is great down the blindside and takes on the line more often, but Reynolds was the 9's MVP. Before he got hurt he was going great guns but his knee was bothering him all year. Then you add on his goal kicking, he is statistically just about the best goal kicker in RL history, and it's no contest.

That's right. Very good post!

Merrin can play longer minutes than Te'o and can play Lock.
You seriously want Te'o for 4 years at 700k which takes him to 33? He won't be the same bloke he was in 2014. People please take off the 2014 premiership rose coloured glasses. Te'o is worth 400k under the cap tops. Add on third parties for sure but under the cap he's worth nothing more.

What do you mean by moves forward. I talked about how Keary gets lost in the play and doesn't really take control of the side. But I did say that Keary is more suited to be a dummy half runner due to his running style and ok passing. He did play there in the grand final.

Some info I found this morning

Some Clarification on the Dylan Walker situation:
There are plenty of rumours and innuendos,
The facts that we know is that Madge Want's to keep Walker.
My very good mate, a Souths 3rd Party sponsor who sponsors many of OUR players.
He knows Dylan Personally and had Coffee with him on Thursday the 12th of November.
He says that Walker will be with us in 2016
I asked him, what about 2017?
He said, "They are working on it, but Walker wouldn't say yes or no".
My mate assures me that Walker has not signed with any other club.
BUT, he did say it will be Walkers attitude that can swing this situation in his favour.
My mates word is that "Walker has to pull his head in"
Walker broke a team "NO BOOZE" rule just before the Semi.
In my mates words, "Walker went out on a bender, he loves a drink"

I think what may be confusing Shadow a little bit is that AR is so slow he looks like he's going backwards.
Keary creates that great a contrast with AR due to his superior speed off the mark that the illusion is quite marked.
Keary appears like greased lighting because AR is so painfully slow.

I disagree one thousand per cent.

I don't think Adam is slow of the mark at all and you can see him trying to improve himself as a halfback by adding new stuff to his game, as for Keary who IMO hasn't learned from his errors that he has in his game, you can't get by with your talents for to long in the NRL. You need to learn and make yourself a better player something Reynolds is doing and Keary isn't at the moment.
