He sucks
Yep...
And we'd have to continue to pay Bud to play elsewhere on top of him and his wages.
Like signing 3 Fainus to get a little something out of 1-2 of them.

Dom Young and KPP certainly both fit the physical profile of what we would be after. They both have some pretty glaring deficiencies in their game though, particularly Young.

Their recent recruitment / development of purchases has been quite poor.

It won't happen Richo so far has made good decisions with recruiting, just signing Tyrone to keep his brother happy wouldn't sit with him, he's smarter than that.

If we’re signing relo’s to keep players happy, maybe we aren’t as harmonious as it appears. Players shouldn’t need those incentives to be happy at the club
Reckon it will be after the bunnies game, when we have the bye! That’s what I would do.
According to Gould young sees himself as a centre. I don’t see it but that’s what young wants. Clearly a winger with defensive things to work on.

If we're just signing brothers I reckon those Cleary brothers would be pretty handy 👀 (Jett can just stay in Flegg)

Currently paying Luai, Latu & Sullivan starting halves money.
Galvin is likely moved on.
Doueihi is a better fit in the centres but CAN cover halves.
Mason is promising but not to be relied on.
Bud is likely moved on if possible.
So, on around $200k or so (lower end costs at least) a player like Tyrone May serves a purpose as cover in the halves (not as bad as some would like to make him out to be) while also offering versatility to play a little centre, #13 or even as #14.
He has been good in the ESL, in their top team.
Teaming up the brothers makes sense as all 3 of them have indicated they would like that. If we have the premier prop in the game at good coin, plus one of the better centres in the game on a reduced value due to off field issues & then have our back-up halves player as a reduced value deal to be with his brothers/ return to the NRL/ redeem himself in the public domain....it makes sense both on the field & against the salary cap.
The money saved getting Tyrone & Taylan can then be put into a top line back row option.

Ha yeah im with ya here, takes an eternity to get anywhere from the Northern Beaches though.
Who wants to cross the bridge anyways LOL... Especially if its to Bondi.
If you are a winger and you cant defend your position (you have the sideline as a massive assist) you have even less chance of being a good defender in the centres.Young to me is a large NO

I’m not getting my hopes up. One year we were told to expect new signings and they were women.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

If Young wants to be a centre, I'd definitely consider him. Need to find the balance between not blocking Makasini but also not relying on him as an 18 year old.
At less than 400k replacing Naden with Roosters chipping in seems like good business to me.
If we had first choice of
2. Skelton
3. Young
4. To'a
5. Turuva
with Makasini, Laulilli and possibly Doeuihi there for depth we could let Feledy, Faatape, Naden all go and be in a much better position.
Initially I thought we don't need another winger but I'm warming to it if he can make a centre.

I'd prefer a someone who has played centre, that's better than every centre we have. Taylan will do. I definitely don't want to sign Young as a centre
