With all these outside backs I've a strong feeling Radradra has played his last game for us.
Using your own argument, why would we let him go if we have him on unders for 2017?
A swap for Hunt?
I consider Semi as the best winger I have seen Eric Grothe Senior. I would offer him $600K which will dwarf the Broncos offer. Cannot see Arthur letting him go.
But it's ok to replace him with a convicted woman beater and drug user with an even poorer attitude?
Convicted, done his time, reformed.
Obviously that's the reason not to let him go. Reasons to let him go include wanting his influence out of the club, or concern over his availability after his day in court. And as already said, it might be a condition of the Broncos releasing a player we need.
Auva'a will probably be cheap enough that the risk is minimal.
I reckon Ben Hunt is probably the closest on field comparison to Foran, who was almost perfect for us. Hunt isn't as good as Foran, but he is good, and he would be in our price range. We're not after a $300k half or a $1.2M half. We want someone in between, who defends well and has an NRL level kicking game. If he's available now we're probably better off taking him, even if it costs us our best outside back.
Hunts running, passing and kicking game are all superior but his defence and leadership are not. Foran is one of the toughest player once he crossed that white line similar to a cam Smith, he makes the players around him better just by his presence and his expectations.
Our Spine is probably the cheapest in the comp at this point in time
