Check the injuries thread, Hindy.

What about the young prop we have playing in Wenty. I cant remember his name but he was training with first grade this pre season and has big wraps on him. People say he is in the Vella mould of player. How has he been travelling for Wenty?
Are we banking on Alvaro to be a starter and this kid to come off the bench with Mannah and Wicks and Peni also there??

P.S I don't mean them all to be in the 17 but just covering off some options / depth ideas.

Ah that's him!
How is he coming along?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He didn't miss any tackles on the weekend.

 

[hineyrulz]

Didn't do many hit ups though.

Corey Norman named RLW player of the month

Maybe we should re-sign this guy

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It's probably too late now. He took a risk waiting until he showed his best form and now his price is massive. He'll end up somewhere as the primary half.

We should sign one of the kids from Wests. At least their prices will be dropping.

With Sandow-esque defence

 

[Poupou Escobar]

More Maloney-esque

Yeah that's the spirit.

You understand the key to remaining competitive is paying unders for as many players as possible and overs for as few as possible?

I agree with this theory normally Pou, but keeping Norman and Foran together will be building blocks for a successful team for years to come. I think he's worth paying a bit more for.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I agree we might pay a bit more so as not to waste a year's combination between them. The question is how much more?

even if he wants $800k and Brooks is offered to us for $400k?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yep. No brainer IMO. That extra $400k means upgrading four top 17 players on $150k to players worth $250k

 

[EelsFan05]

He is easily twice as good as Brooks, at this stage. There could be an argument that he has been better then Foran to date, which in my opinion he has been. If we can get him for 800k we would be mad not to.
