its the recruiter I'm after, the lack of getting deals done has set us back atleast 12 months... but 1st grade standard 7 is definitely something we want/need.. there is noone coming for many many moons in our system.. it might even be the guy who eventually lets us get Hunt either out or into hooker or 5/8 for that matter.

If only we had gone harder for Tom Dearden. He was simply fabulous on Wed.
"Gone harder" insinuates we didn't go hard enough. From memory at the time he was being offered $800k to re-sign with the cowboys. Apparently we were offering $1M a season to sign him. He decided to stay in North Queensland. What more could we have done?

Initially Cowboys were offering him a 3 year contract (apparently) but soon increased it to 4 or 5 years to match what we offered.

Can you suggest a salary that you think we should have offered?

Coaches son plays 5/8 and the R&R son plays 1/2........hmmm. Nepotism? Nah.
So, SOS what are your thoughts ?. I haven’t taken a lot of notice but looked at his stats and they aren’t inspiring. Not many tries in his career. Could he be moulded to a star of the future who we get at a good price ?
He has nothing on Hunt, I’m sorry. I know he’s not popular, but he’s an outstanding player
we also need to replace Lomax with a like for like guess dad could help there

Maybe he meant we should have dusted off the JetSki or invited him to Flannos for a roast dinner?
