"I know but sometimes money talks, and look with Hass and DCE. I won't count it out, with tago I reckon he's the one to come our way and the reason why because Jake is at parra and meanwhile at panthers they are more inclined to just keep stacking up…"
"Oh I agree, Su'A is more a luxary for us. If we can't get say Keaon, I'm using as an example if things get worse, Su'A becomes more of a luxury."
"It's actually great parenting. Takes pressure of them. Then when we sign him there is no nepotism involved as he made it himself."

I personally think we need a metre eating athletic winger more than we need a centre. We really need to balance out JAC's speed for some metres
Could Timiko play wing? He's a pretty powerful center, just not sure if he has the speed?
Joel our next target is Keaon. Their friendship we need to take advantage of. Mitch get into the ear of Jaydn and push for Keaon to do a DCE if he can. All you can say is I signed for Flanagan and now he's gone I don't want to be here.
Then go for a Centre. Let's be greedy and get 2 class forwards.
Imagine a pack of
8. Keaon
9. Smith
10. Paulo
11. Williams
12. Su'A
13. Hopgood
Much better. Then the bench with Walker, Da Silva, Tuivaiti and Moretti or whoever else is great.
Never say never it is the NRL but the rules are very different than what they were when DCE backflipped since they introduced the cooling off. Parra had Keon all but signed until the dragons offered that extra year. That extra year on big money means a lot for a young bloke trying to guarantee a bank loan and buy a house etc etc
From what I understand Su'A was a massive factor as they are very close and made a pact to play together again after he left Souths.
Extra year was the final push and sweetener. Hey he might say he's fine with his decision. But if I was Parramatta I would be taking advantage of it, have Jaydn and Mitch get into Keaon's ear and just pester him.
I know rules have changed since DCE debacle, that forced the rules to change. But NRL have pretty much admitted they love the drama contract breaks make and the media stories it creates keeping the NRL in the papers.
I mean extra means a lot but for bank loans and that I would think not that much of a difference. Still offered 4 years. We could go 5 or if he wanted out and to come to Parra maybe just maybe could convince him for a 5th year MO. Unlikely he accepts but if he wants out to join Su'A, we could have leverage for a change.
If you get Keaon too and Tago for example, done team is set for 2027. Maybe a couple of fringe and depth signings to fill out roster but pretty much set.
It was a factor but from what I heard they were telling him not to come. And by they I mean Raymond Fatala Mariner who I believe might be his bro in law
At the same time Su'A was in discussions of an extension when he was signing.
And it's 3 months later and he's now signed with Parra. Probably supports what I heard that Sua and RFM telling him not to sign
Perhaps onto something.
Xerri or Tago would be a handy addition
