He won't be able to play next year but he'll be good for 2012. Looks like the Tigers won't offer him the money so why don't we offer him 90k or 100k for a year only. 2012. If he goes good we resign him with the salary cap cahnges due to new TV deal. He makes a decent winger and runs pretty hard and is good mates with Moimoi. Thoguhts?

    I was looking at the big fella when I was sifting through the off-contract players for wingers/centres. Even $100k would be a lot for a winger who doesn't get on the field.

    Why can't he play next year? Surely that injury isn't going to keep him out for 2 whole seasons?

    he was the best winger in the NRL last year, so why not?

    but im not too fussed about 2012 atm

    A name that i've heard been thrown around is Paul Whatuira *not sure about spelling*, i dont know if im keen on it if it's true.

      Wasn't there a story about him turning a tad odd while overseas about a year back? A bit old too.

    he might have to retire poor bloke

      Yeah it'd be a shame for him to have to retire, he was an awesome sight when going well. Hopefully things turn around for him and his ankle heals properly and he gets a start somewhere.

    A good back up at best i reckon but he would want to be on the cheap if they do buy him.
