There is a reason why Melbourne let these blokes like Smith & Addo-Carr go.

Its not to do with football ability.

Both of them have come to Sydney and have been found wanting with professionalism & off-field problems.
Brandon Smith is a $700k+ player who wanted to play hooker and they had Harry.

Why did they let Smith go you reckon ?

I think he's a f**king great player. I'd play him as a middle personally.

Would definitely be a risk. But if we could get him firing would be a very quick rebuild.

I said nothing to do football ability.

Its got to do with off-field stuff.

Why do you think the roosters are pushing him out the door as soon as his contract finishes.

Thats 2 big clubs who have been happy to let him walk out the door should be ringing alarm bells if you ask me.

I thought he was pretty average at the Roosters, tbh.

Certainly not as good as his price tag would suggest.

We don’t have the luxury of being Melbourne…..therefore I would reluctantly sign them and fill it with a shitload of clauses

With the number of players cut from the roster and limited signings, still seems strange that the club is waiting for Gutho to move on, not sure the cap has been handled that well previously.
Like how we made the finals four straight years, including a grand final?

Appears we have some decent juniors coming thru but they'll need experience and we've already lost one good prop (RCG) with Paulo only having 1-2 seasons left in him. So we need a quality middle to cover those losses and May is it. Our squad needs a mixture of experienced and emerging players to be competitive and quality players are in short supply.
RCGs replacement will be a combination of Hopgood, Jack Williams and Matterson.
