So, would anyone entertain signing Jarryd Hayne, if he gets off his current issue?

Good god no.

AD is unproven at 5/8th, Is my point. He was bought as a first attempt Fullback with the potential of moving to the halves if that didn't work out.

My issue with AD is that (and just my opinion) but when I was watching him play, I felt like every time he threw a pass I would be expecting a 50/50... either it would hit the guy on the chest and be a cracker or it would be too low/high/behind the man.

I hope he works out because otherwise we will have two very highly paid #14's.... and then we take the risk of Milford too who is in the same mould as Mbye and AD.

He’s played his entire junior career at 5/8, it’s his natural position. Only got shifted around at souffs

In regards to the passing and stuff, perhaps positioning play and fatigue played a huge part. At 5/8 in the line he will do a lot less effort work than a fullback would require, leading to more crisp passing

It was only 1 game I know but the last game he filled in at 5/8 was enough to convince me he’ll be fine

Good for us they won’t be able to match a decent offer for Angus.

Hope we’re looking at England for potential signings too. Their season only just finished

Problem is they get homesick. They probably would want to join the raiders because they have pommy boys there.

Widdop got homesick for the UK lifestyle. Unfortunately his wfe and kids were homesick for the Australian lifestyle.

I never understood that from him. I mean, he came to Australia when he was a teen.

McQueen gone, Reynolds gone.

Two bad contracts left.
Packer ($700k?) and Mbye ($900k?) to be sorted.
Even if, God forbid, they get offered new contracts
they won’t be on anywhere near those dollars.

We have had a squad in those years where McQueen, Packer and Reynolds hardly played first grade but took up nearly $2M of the cap.

He gave up a large contract and probably a coaching role afterwards at the Dragons plus living by the Wollongong Ocean as Fatty Vautin called it.

What began as a general clean-up of the WT place, has now rightfuly shifted to a deep-clean, the journos and the disguised enemies would hate to know this but the current administration will keep the Mighty WT clean and respected for many years to come.

Yes I know, never understood it. Thought it was a bizarre decision.

Only if Brett Kenny comes as a package deal

Sounds like he chases money to me. Unfortunately for him his value is diminishing with his age and performances.

This is exactly what Hartigan is implementing here, pay the elite players big dollars, the rest get average salaries unless they start to perform like superstars. Matterson was an example of that $250K a season (your not a star) if you want more see you later.
