centre back up half back/58. mate I know a lot of people will shoot me down for this but of Adam went out and had the best preseason of his life he could partner jarome in the half’s he has the skill to do it

Obviously needs to work on his defence and pass selection but he has all the attributes to do worst comes to worse and he’s a back up half or centre on a small 1 year contract

I'm thinking he'll be used as a utility off the bench next season given he could probably cover halves, lock, centre, fullback, dummy half & even backrow if required.

But reckon there maybe an evolution happening this season where he is eased back in the halves & then as he builds match fitness, be tried as a lock! Watch out!
 
If he gets through the rest of this year then it's a smart re-signing at close to minimum wage. Someone who can cover so many spots at a low wage is a valuable squad member. Remember, while his last stint in the NRL was overall his worst ever form, his last NRL game he was the best player on the field until he got injured.

So ill reserve judgement until the end of the year. If he does his knee again it's a bad signing, if he is fit then it's smart.
 
Say what you want about @Lebanese_Coach_aspiration but I did tell you all this last week that he had an offer of 200 but wasnt happy but I told his cousin to tell him to take it. I believe they settled on 225 and the versatility is what got the deal done. He can thank the doggs success here where we have seen the power of the utility value.
Does this mean we hveone spot left since Fainu will be resigned?

This what concerns me.
 
I think the gamble is worth it at minimum wage.

Even though his defence was suspect, he did offer quite a bit in attack at center. This will be a fantastic move if he can get his defence right and is willing to play the positions he's asked to.
