2 players on the outer, could they be reasonable short term buys.

As the title says 2 players at other clubs undergoing some issues are in two positions of need for the eels. I have not seen their names mentioned on any blogs as yet but say for 2 years each would they be fair signings.

1: Benji Marshal, Has killed us that many times in the past & I think he still has a couple of years to offer.

2: Robbie Farah. If he could get part pay from Wests, he would be a better fill than IDG & help develop Pritchard not in injury areas though.

  & what of Carney? I am on record of saying I am not fussed about the signing of older players, but so far many of the young ones have not been overly impressive & need time to transition. These are two experienced players in their respective positions who are also pretty good in them as well.
  
  As I mention, short term of around 2 years, two problem areas we have ATM.

I'll say no and no. Parra seem to find a way to turn somebodies into nobodies. But Brad knows how to turn nobodies into somebodies....

No to Benji, no to Farah, I would rather try and get Peats back.

If it's true that's south's are trying to offload Turgess we should really chase him.

Yeah nahhhh.

Pass on both; Farah is too slow and all about him it seems. Tigers have not lost a lot when he is not playing. Benji- no thanks.

"I got excited thinking maybe a Winger, but seems he is a middle forward. We have plenty of them coming through with Talagi, Koina and Popo.
Hopefully he can be an edge where we have Funa-Iuta and Petrus as the only really great prospects in junior…"
