Is he off contract?

There were some unfounded reports that we may be interested in signing him.

If he plays like he did last night, then we'll take him. He probably needs a fresh start.

How has his form been this year?

I think Vella has actually been more hot than cold this season....but occassionally there has been a blackout and the hotwater tank has provided a few cold showers.

And good on him for getting his finger out despite coping constant abuse from alot of people.

Oh yeah - you asked a question....nearly forgot.....he is not off contract, he has 1 more year to run....just been alot of un-substantiated rumours about him leaving...but I guess contracts mean nothing any more, so you never know.

He is a loyal player and i dont care what ppl say. When he is firing he is one of the most devasting players in the NRL.

I can't remember when he has been one of the most devestating players in the NRL. At best a very good prop.

He's actually having a prety good year, but has had a few ordinary games. So has Hindy though.

Ok look back at 2001. You cant tell me his form wasnt devasting. He deadset broke the line a couple times a game. We need more go forward. Hopefully we get that next year when Hindys workload is lessened.

I think Vella played well last night, He's actually been strong for the last few weeks. Shame about most of the others.

I think Vella played better last night than Hindmarsh. Just my opinion but he wasn't far ahead of Hindmarsh.....

yes we need to keep him and just find that spark he had in 2001

And above all we need a coaching staff that can (re)capture the spark in the talented players that we do have!

We've seen what Vella can be like in 2001. He actually earnt his Australian jersey. That's why we're so hard on him these days, even if he's having a "good" year, it's not a shade on what it could be in other circumstances...
