Probably a decent fit for the Phins with their attacking style. Maybe in the centres? But Farnsworth is first centre picked and Averillo has been playing pretty well this year. They could prioritise some quality forwards though.

Only a 1 year deal by the sounds of it?

He could take bostocks wing, allowing them plenty of time to not rush his return. Then when he comes back they'll be well placed to cover hammer in origin. After that though someone misses out?

Averillo, Isaako, Herbie and Cobbo all off contract (according to google) at end of next year, so decision to be made who to keep.

Be happy enough with that if true. I don't fully get the hype but he's definitely got talent and we've neglected hooker for a long time, it's one of the positions we most need to fill Ryley Smith is serviceable but nothing more.

Apparently Manly were in the hunt for him too, so obviously I'm glad we missed out, cause he's definately rubbish anyway, and we don't need a hooker at all, and haven't done for half a decade.

The whole scenario reminds me of when we let Koroisau go, because we had Issac Luke tied down, only for Issac to get homesick and head back to NZ and then we were left stranded for a couple of years until Cook came along

Tigers will really want to make sure Koroisau plays out his career there now

We also let Api go when we had a young and promising hooker pretty much outplaying him when we were using them in tandem.

Then he went and stabbed someone at church.

I like him, showed a heap of promise last year. Hasnt been as impressive this year however thats likely a lot of our fault. Hard for a kid to develop when he averaged 23 mins a game for 10 weeks. No idea why we are releasing him early with apparently nothing in return, Richardson for all his talk is just proving to be a fatter Pascoe so far.

The Eels are offering $650k to a bench hooker I've never heard of, who has 0 try assists, 0 linebreak assists and 2 breaks in the first 17 rounds...

WTF is going on at Eels.

650k in media speak is about 450-500k in real speak. Still a bit much, but clubs are going to start future proofing with new clubs on the horizon. We've also got tonnes of cap space so I'd guess it's front loaded to use some of that, but that's just a guess
