Do we restart with a young 7?

If Foran does not come, and with Townsend and Carney (only halves available) going elsewhere, should we try out Ashley Taylor from Brisbane?, Bennett is desperate to keep him and Manly & Gold Coast kept a good eye on him. Also played for junior kangaroos, looks like a great kid. But is that the way we should go?

  • I would go for Mitchell Cornish from the Raiders. This kid does have it and has played I think about 14 1st grade games before being dropped due to not being able to get a combination going with Austin.watched this kid for years in Goulburn fantastic little player...
  • I don't think he's coming now and I don't care anymore what a sook how long does it take to make up his mind ffs
  • Look why would he stay there he isn't gonna play FG
    and he can get released he's on nothing of a salary
  • If Foran does not come I be Resigning Sandow and getting Cornish

  • Do we restart with a young 7 ?

    YES - but only if they have the SUPREME talent of a Peter Sterling or Alfie Langer or thereabouts

    otherwise

    HELL NO

    If Parra was a winner and had plenty talent/experience in the other playmaking positions - then yes, blood  a young half as there would be other people to take the burdon off the youngsters shoulders if it becomes too heavy through expectation etc

    Parra are NOT that type of Team - we would RUIN the confidence of a young but talented half.

    That is why the Foran signing appeared to be perfect.

    Better option (today) if Foran does not play for Parra is to KEEP SANDOW. There is simply nobody else to choose from that are free agents right now

    Pity Parra didn't think of that when they gave Sandow the boot - even though they KNEW the Foran contract would probably blow up in their face

    Just ANOTHER example of how really STUPID the Parramatta Eels really are

  • cheers Pops

  • No, we simply dont have time to be stuffing around with young 7's that will take years to come good, weve tried it in the past, we need a  quality number 7 that can take control, a 7 thats already learned his craft like foran.

    • From what I have heard Foran will still be 6 with Norman at 7
  • Tim smith, mortimer etc. We havent had a lot of luck wuth young halves. This team is always expected to produce the next "kenny" or "sterlo". It has been tried and tested & the kids always have too much pressure to perform. I think we really need foran. I also think that foran could only get half his parra contract at any club minus maybe the titans because of cap restrictions. Also all this cornish talk.... He cant get a starting role in front of sam williams so i dont think he would be our "messiah" even if he has talent.
    • Tim Smith was good though for a bit
