Our recruitment has been pretty ordinary but whats one more mistake. I think we should take a risk on him if he is asking for the right price.
 
I think, 300-350k on a 2 year contract + performance incentives.

We don't want another Adam Blair.

What do people think he can add to the team though? Seems to me that we actually have enough props for the future but not enough mongrel type 2nd rowers. We have Woods, Groat, Buchanan, Gavet, Galloway, Sue Suaso and Ava. If someone besides Gavet or Ava leaves from there we'll need another prop but right now we seem okay. Compared to our second rowers: Adam Blair, Anasta, Fulton (great but doesn't offer that intimidation and go-forward we need), Pettybourne, Thompson,
 
He can't tackle in Union, he certainly won't be able to in League.
 
He can certainly play and would be dynamic, id play him at fullback, i reckon he'd do very well there.

He will be very expensive. He could command $1 mil in rugby, he may take a pay cut if he wants to play league, but it wont be all the way to the amount we would pay
 
He's done SFA in yawnion for the past few seasons. I don't think he'd be a good buy. From what I've seen there is zero to suggest he would be an upgrade from Benji and his pricetag would be similar. If we're going to take a gamble I'd rather it be on Moses and Brooks.
 
Yeah good points,,, When I say the right price I think anywhere between 300 to 500k and even then I think it is too much. But he will want more for sure. I dont even know where he would fit anyway, Brooks, Moses are staying for sure and teddy is starting to play well.
 
He is not really a match winner, at times he disappears or makes the wrong call when his team is down and out.
Benji does similar things. We need someone with a good head and smart thinking next to Benji otherwise someone like Cooper will make our woes even worse.

He has been outstanding this year for the reds.

He had a bad world cup, other than he has been very good.
 
Not another geriatric drooling over our pension fund - we need players who are young, hungry, and cheap.
 
Quade Cooper hasn't played a decent game of Union since the Reds won the Super 14 or 15 or whatever number it is.

After that was the world cup and he played like a busted for the entire cup, and has done ever since.

He's in the same form as Benji, difference being, He's been in that form for a year longer than benji.

I don't want that hack over hyped, over rated moron at this club.

If we sign him for any amount of money it will Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon our signing of Blair as the worst NRL signing ever
 
no thank you.

Rugby is miles off the standard of league. it took lote a few games to get back into some form as did SBW and they have done it all before. just gonna end up with a junee or walker who will be a silghtly above average player.

Also we dont need more ego's…..

What we need i reckon we already have and the rest we should be able to grab from players that are off contract. Quade cooper wouldnt sign a contract that has perfromance clauses in it. just would be another blair... too much of not enough.
