Because we're absolutely desperate for a halfback. And even an ageing one for 1-2 seasons can see us through until we identify a long term solution

It’s so sad that we are in this ‘desperate’ situation 4 rounds into the season. If it was long term injuries that caused this desperation you could excuse it, but we had a WHOLE off season to sort this out! Instead we put all our eggs in one basket trying to lure (Moses) and hinged all our hopes on a decade proven average player coming good (Brooks). This is so unprofessional, it’s embarrassing!

We’ve done the same thing with goal kickers over the years also, never seem to be able to find a consistent one, despite numerous player purchases and off seasons. It has cost us so many matches, as has the spine problem. We enter every new season hampered because of the club’s seeming inability to address the bleeding obvious!
 
We should be doing everything to get this Pezet kid from Storm. I know under contract but offer whatever they want for him. Kid looks the goods

Don’t know if legit but I heard he didn’t want to hear from any other teams before he re-signed.

Has anyone seen the Storm actually GIVE UP on a talent like Pezet?

I'd say Hughes is in more danger of being moved on. Or Munster to FB & find a position for Pezet.

Which opens up a chance for Papz or Meany to be signed.
 
We need the talent scouting the Storm have .Time and Time again they lose talent but find unknowns which are a cut above our hopefuls in cup etc
This year's examples Pezet and Warbrick

Players I think could boost our squad:

Blake Taaffe- probably as a 5/8. I see him similar in style to Luke Keary, and is behind players at Souths that will always restrict his ability to play First grade in Mitchell, Ilias & Walker.

Paul Momerovski- hear me out. He's defensively solid, makes few mistakes & comes through many good systems- Roosters, Panthers, Storm. He's 38th in the pecking order at the Roosters, but he instantly tidies up our defensive woes out wide. Not flashy. He's Shane Elford. It's Campbell Graham lite. Pushes either Talau if he doesn't recapture his potential or Naden who is a good attacker, but very average defender.

Mawene Hiroti- On the outside looking in at the Sharks. Very capable player in both attack & defence out wide.

Jayden Okunbor- Another on the outside looking in. Last year of his contract- a bigger winger to put opposite Taupo on the other side.

Some good points but I actually don't think any of these players improve our squad, bar Taafe maybe. For too long we have replaced average players with average players. Priority has to be aiming for the best young players not playing first grade and/or an established senior player in a key spine position. Otherwise we are just wasting our time.

Great post. 😁

Lol @ 38th in the pecking order! When you mentioned Elford I thought "that's it!". He is very Shane Elford. In saying though, I would prefer any young centre at the club. I actually still hold hope for To'a. I think he could be really good.

Blake Taafe - big yes.

Okunbor - I think he is a bit of a flash in the pan. Still, he should be cheap, so why not? They don't seem to have many tall wingers.

Don’t know if they are always a cut above talent wise as some of our young guys, just think they are given the chance and guidance to thrive more in a good/successful culture.

Storm have great scouts but are different because they have absolute gun players in key positions and a strong coach and system. This is what allows them to help unknowns become established first graders.
