Can't say i'm that dissapointed - yes he has potential but he is a small backrower (95kg and only 181cm). He isn't a Wests Tigers junior having come from bulldogs only last year. He probably wouldn't see much first grade is one of those tackling machine types and would be a fulton replacement but Fulton is here for 3 more years. Reminded me of Matt Hyland who also left for Parra I think and hasnt ever seen first grade. We also have in Lovett and Sue better young backrowers and the couple of blokes from SG Ball - Matt Woods and Tatola, etc
While we have salary cap space - that doesen't mean should pay any more now then they were willing too before or the money is wasted.
Lastly given Parra's history of singings and thier club he is going to the strugglers - I don't remember too many people getting better at the eels
As for the comment above about look at them now - well never heard of Isacc Lui and Matt Ryan is being released by the team that winning the wooden spoon
From the U20s other then those who have resigned I only see Moses, Brooks and the young forwards up from SG Ball as nessecary plus perhaps Hoiter - Rowe hasnt been able to keep his fullback spot and Rudolph the same, i dont even think they make our u20s starting side at full strength
