Edwards a Hodgo clone?
He's younger and less injury prone.
My mate @Sausagesorcerer said he sees him at the shops all the time and the guy never smiles.
Serious business.

Staines at FB has forced Turuva to the wing in cup.
I think if Staines is keen and we can agree $$ we should go for him.

I hope so brah.
Built not bought type mentality.
Even if he's an important, we invested and brought him through.
Sick of former Penrith players aye...
Edwards, however... he stands out from the rest of those gallivanting show ponies. Strikes me as a real worker. I remember early days, in grade- he was woeful. Really worked on his game to become elite.
And with Suni, some ones gotta make way eventually.
Yeah mate, Agreed....
He'd have a game of running 300m one week - And dropping 12 bombs the next.
I don't know he'd do here what he's doing there, But he also may well do more.
Either way - He'd certainly be doing more than what we got.

Now that the coaching stuff is sorted (and Benji has pulling power?) what's stopping us from making a big play at fellow Kiwi Joey Manu?
Easts are stacked in all the key positions and he would look good in the number 1 jersey for us. I like Laurie but Manu is being wasted at centre for the Roosters.

That is certainly not our first mistake.
But totally agree about Edwards.
I love were ur coming from but we are not getting rooooters players who they want to keep , u can offer them $100,000 more per season and they will re-sign them on $600,000 , but when they retire , u know what comes with a thank u a BIG BROWN bag full of green notes
You think..... I would suggest the problem is more so that we're not trying.
To be fair, With the issues they have coming up squeezing all that talent into their backline
- We should bring Tedesco home.
We'd entertain it - I believe they would - And I believe he would....
He's done it all, But leave a legacy - He won't leave one there....
He'll never be considered above Mini - EVER!!
If he were to retire here, It would be Hodgo who....

Yep i've been thinking the same thing. Could be a Papali'i type signing. Young highly rated player falls down the pecking order and needs a fresh start to rekindle his fire. Wouldn't cost too much and would give us some depth in the back row if Blore needs easing in.
Mistake number 1-9 is Luke Brooks

Absolutely agree.
Putting up big $$$'s for Manu as a FB puts Easts in a conundrum, as they already have the Blues/Kangaroos FB.
With Benji and Tim now onboard, Manu may just be swayed.
Offer him $1M and put the burners under the Rorters.
Throw em Laurie to sweeten the deal.
He'd look amazing in a Tigers jersey.
Franchise player.
Won't get Manu....
Teddy on the other hand.
Manu has 6 years or more left in him, Teddy - 3-4 Max.
