Now that we are losing Junior,

We should look to buy a couple of Front Rowers.

Faffita brothers as a package would be perfect as they are big and mobile with plenty of grunt.

How much for 2, well thats a good question but I reckon 800k-900 K should be a good starting point.

Id take these 2 guys over Tamou any day.

They are also massive dickheads. I wouldn't want them.

DO NOT WANT
RIDER April 5, 2016 at 11:24am

No thanks, they regularly have brain explosions when niggled and we dont need a prop who gives away silly penalties.
Outrunna April 5, 2016 at 11:29am

I think Steve Roach.

Stan Jurd

Maybe The Chief Harragon

Don't usually cry over spilt milk however having a big sook over losing junior. There's about 3-4 players I'd pay overs to retain. He's one. He can't be replaced so is go after someone non big name like tagataese whose coming off contrct. I'd love to pinch one the raiders props like Vaughn as payback to that prick Stuart but looks like there all still on contract for next year. If NRL was normal junior wouldn't be allowed to sign until the contact is over at end of season n by then with watmough sorted we maybe could've kept him. I guess we got Foran, Gordon, Scott the same way so take good with bad...

Bring the former Toonie junior David Klemmer home to the Eels. Sam Moa might be another option.

Player I think we should be going after is

Kenny Bromwich

Sam Moa

David Klemmer

and resigning Danny Wicks and Rory O’Brien

Should a, would a, could a kept junior in the first place. We were mad to not match Canberra's offer because anything on the market in the way of props for next year is on the downward curve. Whereas, as can be seen from this year junior is on his way up. Even mentioned in commentary by channel 9 as a chance for origin (Brad Fittler I think it was). Our pack is bog average and undersized unless we find a suitable replacement. Huge mistake IMO. Paasi or tagatese.
