Ummm... Blake is a 5/8
Personally would prefer to take a big bet on someone younger than 24. I think doing what the knights did and just stupidly over paying for a young stud and hoping your bet pays off might be our best option
I think they got a bit unlucky in that Ponga is a bit aloof when it comes to club footy and doesnt seem to always give much of a f**k, and also the head injuries, but he's as good a talent as you can get when he wants to be, and when he plays well the knights are a tough team to beat

hence the Pezet 3.6m offer (or equivalent level player who is 21 or under)... find the guy, pay him like he's a superstar and hope your bet pays off.

hes played a lot of fullback etc , so I ... like most people forgot that.

If we can't get a marquee 6 ( there aren't many around )
I think Schneider would be as good as Taffe & cost us a lot less too, so we wouldn't bother.

Raiders offer Wighton $1.1m to play in the halves.

We sign him to play centres and as such his value is worth much less to us.

It's apples and oranges.

It's probably the best shot for the little clubs like ours.
