Do we need him this year? If he's not good enough for Canberra's pack he won't add much to ours.
I think he is ready, but for what ever reason he isn't working out at the Raiders.
As for needing him, you can never have enough gun power forwards. I would love to be able to swap in almost like for like middles. it would devastate opposition packs. Trey may just need to get Parra fit and feel more at home back at Parra to start playing to his full potential consistently.
He is a great defender and I think we all know how hard he runs. Imagine if we could quickly get the best out of him and then we could have a fair dinkum rotation of RCG, Junior, Emu and Trey. Emu would play the Junior role and Tray the RCG. Or mix and match depending on our opposition and tactics at any given time.
This would be the best option for our team and the way Potato Head likes to play our forwards. It's a very long and unforgiving season and all it takes is one or two injuries and we are cactus. Our team almost solely relies on our forwards to win the momentum more so than any other team. It is paramount that we have enough quality forwards that can do the job up front or the wheels will come off.
Trey could be another small but significant piece of the puzzle to help us get there and win it in November.
