After watching that game. If Latu is to play 13. Sexton is the best option on the market & can goal kick. Meets the criteria!

Maybe. But why anyone is taking what Carayannis says seriously is a surprise to me. Richo wants an established, experienced half because he only plans to be here another two years and wants a lot of success in that time. And he can't expect that with Latu because he's injured 2/3 games.

ok fair point.
obviously that hasnt gone the way they wouldve liked it to.
so they still have to go for another half , right?
thats the competition im talking about , especially if its a younger half with not as much
experience as say Reynolds.

Canterbury obviously saw Sexton as a good bridge halfback until they got an upgrade. That’s what we should be thinking with Latu still very young.
I still thing latu deserves a chance if he stays injury free before we move him maybe 30 games like Galvin.

I hope he stakes his claim in the next two months but I’d still sign Sexton as an experienced guy and have a halfback spot up for grabs for the form player. I see the value in a young player having to earn his jersey.
On that ,from what I've seen from Sullivan this year think it's better we off load him

What’s the rush to pay Sexton $500k plus…maybe $600k ? It’s not like guys of his ability only come along once a year …
See how Latu goes the rest of the season… move Bud on ( if you can) and reassess at the end of the season…

I think Sexton is a proven performer in first grade who would complement Luai well. I haven’t seen enough of Latu to trust him yet.
It would be a 2 year deal and he’d have to be willing to enter a competition for the jersey.

Compliment him by putting him in NSW Cup? ( sorry …thought you were talking about Latu)
what do you expect to pay for Sexton? He’ll be $600k minimum you would think … I’d be at least seeing how Latu looks first

Feels like a halfback is going to get left out in the current merry go round. You pay them around 450-500 (you might get them cheap because they’re clubless and pommy land calls) to compete for the jersey with Latu, we were going to give Galvin double that.

He’ll have the Titans chasing him as well…minimum $550k…
They will be paying more than $1.5m for Bud, Sexton and Latu… two of whom to be in Reserve grade …

Assume if Roosters don’t take DCE, he then opts for titans, where does Sexton go?

Lot of assumptions

True. Feels like someone is going to be looking for a jersey . Roosters have Sandon Smith too.

ricky’s son looks like he’ll debut against us on the weekend on the wing
the draw is soo close one win could shoot us up the ladder but it’s a tough task especially if romey isn’t playing

Maybe after the Roosters rejecting DCE and Titans signing him.. they have had some time to look at Latu and see how he goes … if Latu breaks down again or idoesnt play well then so be it …

Keaon Koloamatangi fractured his eye socket also, Terrell may be off to origin camp
Quite concerning if it's true that the push for Latu to 13 is coming from Benji. We brought him here as a half & due to injuries, haven't really seen him & Luai together for any significant time. I'm not against it if we can secure a traditional game managing 7, but really think Benji's priority should be adding much more fire-power to our pack.
