Just checked the calendar to see if it was April 1. Garner is passed his best and not what is needed for now or the future. MON got to do a lot better. Sounds like a desperate move. Rather look at some younger players and try them. Waste of salary cap
Though the report is mixed as it says we were keen but is off to a rival as they offered a 3 year deal. Wouldn't they say Parra offered a 3 year deal?
Now let's say we didn't get him, bit rough there lol but hey he took 3 year deal good on him, if we did miss him it is down to not offering a 3 year deal which I feel we shouldn't have.
I would much rather seesome juniors get a chance than sign an aging average at best player lke this. I would also like to see Williams be moved to an edge. I think though form teh reading the aricle we were only interested for shorter than the three year offer he seems to have received elsewhere so mabye R&R were not completely dumb

"Throw in the fact we aren't a destination for the top tier talent regardless.Most want to win now there for the most part aren't interested in a rebuild exercise especially the ones that have already come from struggling clubs."
"Have you seen what's available? There is no quality on the market for next year, and in 2026 we are competing with the Perth Bears for signatures. I think we will be relying on our juniors progressing over the next couple of years."
"I think I got that wrong in translation HKF. Yes we do need an edge forward, a marquee edge backrower, not Garner. With Kautoga and Samrani improving, and Williams showing he is a better on an edge than in the middle, plus Tuilagi and our juniors…"

If you are gonna sign players they either need to be:
A).better than what you have/had, or
B) are young and have potential
Garner is neither.
Dear god no.
What's the point of getting rid of players who are past their best only to replace them with players who are past their best.
This club is a circus run by a bunch of fucking clowns.
I agree they never fucking learn do they. Mark o neil needs to fuck off to Mcdonalds.
Agree for a stop gap measure until we have our Juniors ready or some good calibre back rower comes along.
He is much better runner than Taulagi and Samrani.

If not us, could be Dragons or Manly.
The EBay Eels.
The Temu Eels 🤣
It's a lift the floor not ceiling exercise if they sign Garner.
The flaw of this squad is lateral agility and inexperience i guess if they do get Garner over the line it's a win I guess.
For me he's a poor man's Luke Capewell type of signing.
