Why did we let go of RCG at 30 years old , Gutho at 29 years old, Mika Sivo at 30 years old , numerous attempts at moving Ryan Matterson on at 29 - 30 years old, Bryce Cartwright at 30 years old only to sign Gagai at 35 years old next January.
Exactly and I am glad someone else said it. The hypocrisy of some of these decisions is just laughable and it can only come down to saving money in the cap. Thus far what have we spent it on and do we have better replacements? BTW, where are we on the ladder still?

He's actually in really good form still but we do have enough options at centre I guess no real need for gagai. As long as penisni finds some form
"JAC offers more in attack than Gagai. Gagai doesn't possess JAC's speed and speed kills.
The only thing Gagai offers over Penisini is he has safer hands.
I've never been a fan of Simonsson but I rate him better than Gagai.
I would've taken Gagai 4…"
"I can't agree that simmonson and penisini are better or equal to gagai as a centre, not even close.
The reason I would prefer gagai over addo-carr is the stronger carry from gagai "
"On the wing, Lomax and JAC over Gagai.
At centre, Simonsson and Penisini over Gagai.
Both Lomax and JAC are better wingers than Gagai.
Simonsson is a better centre than Gagai and Penisini is about on par."

I would've taken Gagai 4 or 5 years ago but definitely not now.
Gagai for 1 year, maybe, but I would rather we go after Mawene Hiroti from the Sharks or Deine Mariner from the Broncos. Both young and solid centres.
Fuck him he rejected us and went to Newcastle so stiff shit we dont want him now
If for 2 years at 250k per year, i'll take him
Get him in there now
one year maybe...gosh bottom of the barrel ...Come over on a pension tour I guess

No. Find an up and coming centre and invest for the long term as there is no quick fixes with someone at retirement.
