Nothing like Klemmer, but anyway...

 

[hineyrulz]

Have to admit some of the penrith young talent is impressive, we could do much worse sniffing around some of that young talent who will struggle to get a run in the next year or two.

wasn't @hindy111 jerking off over Hiku not long ago?

Your right, has more to his game. Offloads

Nope

Nowhere near as powerful. Big motor, hard worker, like I said before. More like a Vaughan.

Or dare I say it, an Alvaro.

....and as you keep pointing out, Evans has played far more first grade than reserve grade

Not at the Eels. At the Roosters he was top 17, or at least a fringe first grader who happened to only play one reserve grade game in his final three years for them.

and you repeat adnauseum that Evans is playing for Wenty to improve his fitness. Surely that would be to improve his usefulness in first grade. So what’s your point and why does that not make it plausible (even probable) that Evans is on $350k?

The fact Arthur has left him in reserve grade shows he never rated him as highly as I did. He wouldn't change his mind after only four games, especially when two of them were cut short by injury. It's not like he signed him sight unseen. The guy had played 70+ games when we signed him. As Arthur said, “We’re excited to add more depth to our forward pack".

Maybe BA himself doesn't really get a lot of time to check out players from other teams. By all reports he's had a lot on his plate. Or maybe as I suggested the lack of depth at the Chooks resulted in Evans playing more first grade than he would at another club with more depth, ie Parra.

How many games did Sandow play at Wenty? If we look further abroad, Chris Macqueen and Bryce Cartwright have spent plenty of time in reserve grade and would be on at least $350k.

Why would they be on that much if they're not good enough for the top 17?

Aggressive and how many games? You remember Vaughn and Klemmer after 9 or so games

Arthur would've done his homework on the player. Watched heaps of video, etc etc. We would have only had to beat the next best offer to get him.

 

[hindy111]

I said 8 weeks ago there was dramas with Evans. Vave and Matagi picked before him.
BA is pissed over something . Id say effort at training.

Jerome Luai

Hethrington go get him

Yeah but there's only so much you can learn about someone when you've got other stuff that needs sorting out. I'm sure he wasn't just checking out highlight clips on YouTube but one man can't do everything. It could be that Evans is a direct result of the understaffing issue at the club.

Mate Klemmer was the next big thing from SG Ball onwards. He was always the first thing anyone mentioned when they talked about Dogs juniors. He's a freak

Vaughan was also more touted than Hetherington, but that might just be because Canberra is weird and he's a local kid come good. But he was the face of the Bulls as a teenager and the Raiders put him on a pedestal from a very young age.

Hetherington looks good at 22, but he's not gonna be a Klemmer.

You do know Klemmer is still only 24, right?

We have a full time recruiter to do all that. Last year (when we recruited for this year) Arthur had a quality staff.

 

[Dibs]

Do you have a source for that?

Yes I do but it’s me so not very reliable. Less reliable than Avenger but more reliable than chiefy

I thought Max the Axe had already run through us. Either way, maybe the recruiter wasn't very good. Or we just plain got it wrong. Everyone makes mistakes.

That's a pretty wide range.
