No thanks he only plays good in Origin

He has been good every week this year, best he had played in years, light years ahead of Talau, and BJ and JTJ on this years form

Says it all really...

We need some backs, badly.

I would much prefer Oliver Gildart to Gagai.


Reports are we have already signed Gildart. So who is his centre partner next season? AD, Joey, JTJ, one of the young guys like Ogden or Kei, or do we recruit a Gagai or Kris. If its AD then who is 5/8 - maybe Hastings and Brooks are the halves.
We certainly could do with a big tall winger like Tupou or Coates or Saab- these guys offer so much.

Most of forum said Saab was a dud when I said we should sign him ? gun player, crazy fast and great in the air.

Can we get Tommy T with him? Because he was an absolute dud before Tommy came back from injury.
 
do we really need a 31 year old Dane Gagai? yes he's not as hit and miss as Joey, but I'd rather us buy Gildart and let Kepaoa, Hoffman, Ogden, Kei and Talau fight it out for the other centre spot.

What if we don't get Gildart?

Young Alexander is a lively centre in Flegg. He runs hard and fast and I think he may be a good one. I'm sure he played Aust Schools from Maitland.

Unlikely as it may be I would like to be in the market for Billy Smith.

He was good. Been out a while.

Yeah poor sod has found a few injuries but he’s a talent, has size and would be 22 next season.
Edit: the fact he upset Sammy is a bonus.

We certainly could do with a big tall winger like Tupou or Coates or Saab- these guys offer so much.

Most of forum said Saab was a dud when I said we should sign him ? gun player, crazy fast and great in the air.

First Lomax was a dud, then Saab is a dud, mansour was too old. We would have to be the pickiest supporter base in the NRL.

Imagine if we lined up;

3 Lomax
4 Douihei
5 Nofo

I wouldn't be doing a long term deal with Gagai for precisely this reason, we've got a couple of top notch centres coming through in Flegg who will be knocking on the door of FG in the next 12-24 months and there needs to be some incentive in keeping them and not having them poached to seek an opportunity elsewhere.

What if they don’t make it though? Need to surround the good young players with some experience.

We’ve gone that way with the likes of Talau, Kepaoa , Cini etc but 2 years out of Flegg and they’re still not complete NRL players yet.

I'm of the opinion the current crop coming though Flegg are at a different level - a couple of them have gotten a taste in KOE and handled it with ease - these players need to be promoted to KOE fulltime next season and retained on Development Contracts.

Wowwwwwww, if only
 
Gagai covers wing and centre at a high level. Less concerned about age with him he’s a natural athlete. 2 years max and nowhere near the money he’s on. 400- 450k p.a.price range.
He’s worth it for 2 years.
