2027 half back and five eigth

[You Know Who]

Absolute rocks in your head if you think we should go into the season with Madden as our 7 when Fogarty has been offered to us and probably on a subsidised contract.

6. Latu/Javon
7. Fogarty

13/14/Gone. AD

Cup 7. Madden

Fogarty - highlight reel not a low light reel

Not sure if still on the cards

Yeah we sure could use a good game controlling halfback like Fogarty. Now if only we had a winger as tall as Saab to capitalise on his kicking game. Campbell Graham come on down!

What we have in the halves is bottom 4.

Agree. Even the Dragons have improved in this with Luke Metcalf at halfback (No. 7) and Kodi Nikorima at five-eighth.

 

[Chunk]

Yeah, it's easy to say Fogarty would be an improvement and no doubt he would be but is it going to happen?

Might cost us $400,000, he takes up another top 30 spot and we still have four other halves?

It could happen, hopefully.

By all reports, he was offered to us. What we don’t know is whether Manly offered to foot the bill for some of his contract although I’d be surprised if they didn’t offer to put in something. If we got him for 400K, that’s a steal.

If we flat out rejected the offer without any negotiations, then we are an even dumber club than I imagined.

I think it is fair to assume that if we do not try for Fogarty or another out-and-out halfback for 2027, Benji has slated Doueihi for a halves role along with Latu, Jock & Javon.

If we do make a play for Fogs then very good chance we'll see AD shift into another position. or less likely out of the club.

AD plays well as an individual at 7 but the backline looks clunky.
Too much inexperience in going with both Latu and Javon. We need an experienced 7 to give Latu/Javon time to develop. Fogarty at 33 wouldn’t block their path. I’d go with;
NRL 7. Fogerty 6. Latu
Cup 7 Madden 6 Jovan
Only problem with this is that is doesn’t give Latu or Jovon time at 7. Unless you play Javon 7 and Medden 6 in Cup
