Never a rush...but we need to be on the front foot as our circumstances suggest he cld be useful ...and there is a whole piranha of aggressive managers out there
Low risk/potentially high reward
Am no fan of his behaviour...but we hired Packer after all

Family stuff too which mite entangle us to the family

6 years is a long time.
No one knows if he's even thrown a footy since he went inside.
Nothing wrong with watching a few A grade games and seeing how he goes with a NSW Cup contract in the back of your mind, but he hasn't even said he wants to play.
It's a nice story, but a lot needs to happen for him to be taking up a top 30 spot.
The only thing potentially going for him if he still has it is we really don't have a decent backup hooker if Api goes down and given how long hookers are playing, he could have another 5-7 years left.

Yep - what’s the urgency…
We hold all the cards with the rest of his brothers under contract.
If he wants to join them, he has it all to do. We don’t have to do a thing…

Agree, promoting young blokes before their time hasn’t worked for us in past years. Although, the identification and environment hasn’t helped.

We've picked some terrible options..untalented ..or overvalued by themselves or their managers
Bula has worked out well but not that many others

Good intel, I retract my suggestion of Ray Stone. I just did some more research & he has had a few surgeries over the off-season too (both shoulders) his body is pretty banged up.

If not Ray Stone, a forward of his ilk as experienced depth would still be valuable to us atm.
