Waits Setu

[balmain boy]

Can't see him getting a top 30 spot. Not unless others leave.
He's only played a handful of professional games in either code. He's been a reserve grader and he's in his late 20s.
I won't count him out but we don't have room unless someone else leaves. But we need players like him in the magpies. Work your bum off son and maybe he could follow in garners footsteps

Agreed. And in the end, he could end up getting a game here or there as a fringe player, but given everything you pointed out, I can't see him taking to much first grade time.

 

[TillLindemann]

So is he on a train and trial contract?

 

[Madge]

Yes

 

[Wagga_Tiger]

Should move him onto a development contract, if he goes well he can get a run towards the end of then season.

I don’t think you can go into a development contract if you have already played for storm and broncos.

He hasn't played nrl.

And even if he had yes he'd still be eligible for a dev contract

 

[OldMagpie]

Apparently this guy has impressed , is learning a lot from E.T and has a team first attitude.

He’s learning a lot from ET..,, that’s a worry!

Brock Lamb is on a dev contract this year, correct? And he's played firsts for both Knights and Easts.

Are you serious? That’s a joke. Why have these development contracts if clubs can take the piss? Bloody hell. NRL cannot get anything right.

Not to mention the London Broncos over there.

Why do you say that? ET has some great qualities as a professional footballer. He works incredibly hard to maximise his abilities, he has always held very high standards in his behaviour on and off the field, and is considered a leader among his team mates. If those standards aren't worthy of a young fellow to emulate, I am not sure what is.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

His brother was a very good young footballer who played for the Dragons and Brisbane. Let's hope this young fellow applies himself as it is the unknown players who can make the difference in having a successful year.

I don't know if they are taking the piss, it's obviously within the rules. I don't know specifically what the rules are for dev contracts.

If you want to waste a dev spot on a journeyman, I have no issue with it. There's some other kid looking for a shot who will join another club for that dev contract.

But Surely the concept of ‘development player’ Is the polar opposite of ‘journeyman.’ I would think development contracts would have to be used by young players with potential not yet ready for the rigours of NRL. Hence they are being ‘developed.’

It's a joke of a system when a guy that's played 33 NRL games can be put on a DC.

And that’s my point. NRL under Greenberg continue to make ludicrous decisions that most just shake their heads at.

Young? He is 27.

Trialling at 27...odds are long at that age to make a code switch, but hopefully can add some size in state cup / back up for nrl on occasion.

But they can't play NRL can they?
