I agree there has been many Vaipuna’s, not his fault, just the sad fact many junior superstars aren't able to make the step up.
It's all relative innit?
Minimum wage deals or close to it are for guys who are up and coming in the top 30 or nobody else in the NRL will sign like Bryce Cartwright after he went terribly at the Titans. People have this weird pre conception about them. They don't get handed out to guys who have played 62 NRL games. Garner and anyone who's played that much first grade will be ahead of rookies in every coaches eyes because he's proven with a few exceptions of like the next Angus Crichton. He'll be cheap by the standard of starting second rowers if he starts. You wouldn't take 110K when another club will offer you 400K to start and Garner could find a club somewhere like the Dogs or Manly.
Well he’s not a gun. In and out of the Tigers 17.
Be honest Smug what’s your take on this?
He was playing decent, reliable footy as backrower whenever he got a shot. Madge is just weird about who he rates. BJ was in the starting team and Momo was depth for two years. That's how the Laurie/Momo swap happened and why Momo was swapped to the Storm for two other depth players respectively.
If he starts we are f**ked. If he's a fringe guy Ivan might get some use out of him on the bench, the ability to play backrow and centre is handy.
Of course there can be, but doesn't mean you throw all your eggs in that basket.
Yes x 100.
Your opinion mate. Equal to mine. You fill in the blanks with Garner there and let’s see how that works for us.
I'm just asking a question. Let's put Garner aside and say he's out of the 17 in your mind.
