Peats vs Clydesdale? - like KP on the 5th tackle, have we taken the wrong option?

Posted by chips dangerously on May 26, 2017 at 11:10am

So a few on here are reporting we have signed Adam Clydesdale as our go to hooker next season, is he a poor man's De Gois? or does BA reckon he can turn him into the next Brad Drew? Personally, i reckon we should have kept our offer for Peats, or gone hard for Baptiste or Matty Mc.

We are in MASSIVE trouble if the Shetland Pony's been hired as our main rake.

He is not at the same level as Rein and Peats, but I'd suspect he is on modest money. Personally, I'd sign Rein for 300-350K.

  Yep and if hes not on the same level as Rein who gives a new meaning to average, hes absolutely bottom of the barrel as far as MRL quality goes.

You are right. Peats and Rein are the two best hookers 'currently' off contract that I am aware of. You can only work with who is available. We should have signed Farrah this year if he was available for 250K. Like available coaches, you can only sign who is available and willing to come to Parra.

  BD I thought that Rein had signed at Penrith for two years - end of 2018

Clydsdale hasn't been signed as our 'go to' hooker, he will at best be sharing minutes with Kritchard.

  That fills me with a lot of confidence, thanks poo.

  So we start the game with crap and then the next load of crap relieves the first crap?
  Sounds like a whole heap of crap to me..

  Between them we've got 80 minutes of solid work, plus some speed off the bench with Kritchard. We'll kill it.
