I really hope we don't get Bennett... for his sake.

Age is starting to catch up with him & I'm not sure coaching the Eels would be good for his health !

I'm 20 yrs younger, only a fan & I'm still having heart palpation's this morning from last nights game !

So having a look at the off contract list there isn’t that much available at the moment.. but there’s a few I reckon would improve the side straight away.
Already have Jnr next year, I’d look at the following.

Marika Koroibete- get him back from rugby, the speed and power runner we need.
Corey Oates- gets yardage and depending on the Wayne better situation could get him fairly cheap.
Sandor Earl- now here me out, see how he comes back from this injury, back this weekend I believe. If he can get close to his Canberra days, already much better then the reserve players we have.
Josh Morris- I still think he is one of the best defensive centers in the game. We lack D on the edges and he would help for sure.. I reckon could get him around 300-400.
Ryley Jacks- the steady playmaker we need, still young and with Moses could build the club around these two.
Shaun Fensom- absolutely workhorse, not lazy like most of our forward pack, and has heart!
Dunamis Lui- the power type player we need off the bench, cheap but can get a solid and reliable effort off him.
Jayson Bukuya- this guy I have rated for a long time, think he is very under rated in a sharks pack that he struggle to get the game time he deserves. Would slot in on and edge for us.

Roast away, but going off the off contract list, there isn’t too many out there.

He would've taken less than if he hadn't been a f**kwit off the field. I reckon without those hijinks he probably would've signed with Storm/Broncos/Roosters. For more than he's on now.
You reckon???? Well case closed Pau has spoken we were lucky to keep Norman no matter how shit his attitude, form or behaviour.

Did we lose a player from the 30 minute mark in last nite's game? Because it looked like we were one player short on the right side

What I don't get about you is your joyous sarcasm.

Don't bother replying to this post bc I'm not going to read it.

I didn't say that merkin. I just said the off field shit and the suspension would have reduced demand for him, keeping his price down. Whatever he's on, if he wasn't a goose he'd be on more than that. Learn English.

It's the death riders mate. They f**king love it when we lose because then they can say I told you so no matter how stupid their theory. And when we do win a game they claim it was because we started doing whatever it is they said we should've been doing.

I just don't get why Parramatta has so many of them.

There is a little rumour doing the rounds in Hull that Vave is set to sign for Hull KR from next season.

Firstly, is there any indication at the club that this is a possibility? I know he is OOC.

Lastly, what are your thoughts on him?

He is over weight and slow, no way we will resign him. He is reserve grade quality.

Yes the club would have done all that (and that should have been bloody obvious to all and sundry without having to explain I would have thought) and the final call is made by the medical professionals. A club cannot just sack a player without a valid excuse (again something that is obvious so I thought).

Well given you said

He should have been medically retired immediately!

then, no, it was not obvious that you were allowing for any of that

His carries are better than most NRL level middle forwards. He is big and strong with footwork and soft hands. But he struggles with the defensive workload at NRL level. He is a liability after ten minutes.
