It's a no from me. Very injury prone poor guy

No thanks - injury prone

No

Hell. No.

Got punted from the Broncos because he wasn't up to grade. Then was punted from the Roosters for the same reason. The. Went to the worst team in the comp and couldn't make the grade.

Copley is NOT the caliber of talent we should be looking to improve our roster with.

Agree with Coryn, Whare is a like for like replacement with Jennings although slightly slower and more injury prone. Great clubman, family man, excellent reader of a game and defensively very strong. He would come with some of the money being picked up by panthers as they try and lock down Staines and co....

I just read that Brent Naden is yet to be approached by the Panthers to re-sign...
With Cleary dropping him in the Grand Final, that would be the perfect opportunity to swoop in and pick up a decent promising centre. Certainly better than any of the options I've seen so far.

The Eels should be looking at making a play for Stephen Crichton from the Panthers. A bit of an ask but come Nov 1 we should at least make contact. Him and Waqa would be one hell of an attacking centre combo.

No way. He is average at the best of times and injured the rest of the time.

Naden for sure
