taafe is not a 7 he is a utility
Trindall would be great but won't happen
Fainu well we are against uncle Wayne we know how that turns out
Walker would be a good option
Keary maybe if Roosters want to move him on

I don't know, I wouldn't completely rule Taafe out as a 7. He has played there plenty as junior and does tick some boxes. Good short kicking game, decent long kicking, would be strong defensively, goal kicker and any player that can fill in at full back will have a decent running game as a 7. First grade experience and at the right age to make leaps in his game. Sometimes being a utility early in your career gets you experience without the number 7 pressure. I doubt there will be another Hynes situation, but you never know.

Geez this could get real ugly.
Uncle Wayne doesn’t miss his target often.
Hope the Fulton move delivers.

Tell us more Ted.
 
Dolphins have a young promising 6 & 7 on the books. Their forward pack is average & Bennett is the coach for 1 more year. Latu is 18 & to move to QLD with no family support I doubt it.

Young kid from western Sydney he would have looked up to Benji surely. Throw in 1 brother at the club, we sign the other one. Plus a quality forward pack, the best 1 & 9 in coming years & the Fulton & Tartak connection.

Quietly confident we land him if the offer is good. I would think 4 year deal., MO on the 4th to negotiate. Year 1 $400K, Year 2 $500K, Year 3 $600K. 3 years at $1.5mil isn't bad for an 18yo. Still unders on the Brooks offer.

Then can still target a good option as 7, based on the names thrown out I'd want Walker. 3 years @ $900k or if it's Trindall 3 years @ $650K (apparently on $300K at the Sharks currently).

Gonna be an interesting few days!
 
Any got the Tele article that just got published with WT 12 potential halves options. Can someone please post?

The media has been reporting the last few days that Fainu is already on $500k per year with 2 years to run on the contract. I believe we’d need to offer more than that to entice him over.
