That is dated last week.
No official announcement from the club today and you said it would be today.
Yep a centre who can beat one defender and put Naden away would be great for the left side. On those set Kikau plays use him as a decoy more often and we will get overlaps outside him for sure.
Just because he thinks he’s worth something doesn’t mean we have to offer it. He’s likely on a very minimal deal, 350k might snag him.
Plus I also doubt Ramien is on $500k. More than likely that media figure is inflated.
our attack inside the 20 was. Prop. Prop. Lock. 2nd rower. 2nd rower. Grubber. Then 6 again and repeat.
Fix that. Let a few guys develop like a 5/8th. Then re-assess and use the cap space for 2021 to chase what we need

I’m not against doing as you say but at the same time a talent like Xerri is worth sounding out if there’s a chance. Make him a smart offer, don’t throw ridiculous coin at him or anything.
They hit Dylan Edwards a fair bit but he often ran out of space with no one running good lines to draw defenders.
Addo Carr on the wing outside of Naden would never see the ball and wouldn't be getting value for money from him.
We would still be flawed at centre and not getting the best out of our marquee signing. Would be an improvement on what we have. But nowhere near enough.
which is where I think the issue is. I can’t see us being a premiership threat with a non ball playing fullback. On the other hand plenty of teams have average centres and go well
So a centre that misses 30% of his tackles is probably not an ideal centre?A winger can roam more. Can’t have defence running at them all day to tire them out. Can kick for them some games centres are just defenders these days
The way you throw out blanket statements like this is a bit silly. Yes we know Ivan isn't great but teams don't have to always copy each other. Its the main reason I was probably the only one on here who wanted Des to replace GriffinA winger can roam more. Can’t have defence running at them all day to tire them out.

More likey he has signed and the first we'll see him is at training. The club is ran by self serving cowards after allThanks for the advice. I think I'll do that.
Gosh if I got upset everytime I was wrong, I'd be a miserable old bag lady. Maybe with Tetevano the board wouldn't sign off on it, concerned about bad publicity, or maybe waiting for him to return from overseas.
Ah well I was easy, didn't really mind one way or the other.

Centres need to get their eingers the ball. JAC isn't going to score 20ish tries on the wing outside a centre that can't set him up.
Everything Naden did right was what you want from a good winger. Including kick chase. Which makes sense considering the majority of his lower grade career was spent as a winger/fullback.
I think he could be an outstanding winger. Even moreso if we can put him outside a quality centre.
Realistically we arent getting Xerri or JAC. But for my money we improve two positions greatly by adding Xerri and only one with JAC... and more importantly he would be wasted without a playerwho csn put him away.

Roosters had 2 gun centres and won the compWhat team has good centres? Moreso what team has good centres that want to be centres? There is a reason the money is in other positions

Roosters had 2 gun centres and won the comp
and 1 now wants to be a FB to the highest bidder so will have a rookie and Manu is a gun agreed.
The other GF team has Croker and BJ neither I would say is star. Storm lost both their centres too
NZ, NSW, QLD, Aust all have makeshift halves in it. Probably will change when the wrestle gets taken out the game or something but for the forseeable future it will be like this.
We need a 5/8th to get used to being a FGer. More from the FB and fix defence up... then the centre is the last piece
