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.

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

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.

Agreed - I dont see us going out to buy a replacement middle forward for Reg.
The average of 53 mins per game that he has played over the last 5 years can be covered by increasing the minutes of any number of middle forwards, including Paulo.
