With the current dearth in quality available hookers is Paul Carter a viable option to seek redemption under BA or is he too much trouble to even consider?

I've seen him play for Wyong this season and he is a step above at ISP level, the best forward for Wyong, which are at the top of the table. From what I have seen of him he is more of a runner then defender and is probably more suited to the backrow then hooker. But as he is a small backrower he is too small to play in the backrow in the NRL week in week out. Although, as he has a decent pass he could convert to a fulltime NRL hooker/Utility. He is better then King, but I don't think he is better then Kaysa at this point in time. Is he too much of a goose, no.
It sounds like the roosters are over him and wouldn't mind him gone asap. Playing long minutes each week is going to takes its toll on Kayser eventually. He really puts his body on the line. If he goes down for a few weeks we have King and Will Smith as backups. Considering his current status at the roosters he might provide some cheap insurance. It appears BA loves a bit of Moneyball and could be seen as a calculated risk if we got him at a bargain basement price. His utility as a backrower makes him a decent bench option.
Ive been reading the same over on the roosters forum, apparently this guy has burnt his bridges there, theres talk of him turning up to training drunk and not turning up at all and having a poor attitude off the park, hes been through a few clubs now and the same things happened at each one
Wouldn't mind him off the bench. Can fill in at dummy half and play backrow. Next year given the supposed top 30, the more players with utility value outside of your top 17 the better off squads will be.
Agreed Ham. I think a utility is what we need rather than a replacement for Kaysa. Someone to take some of the load but leaving Kaysa there to develop further.
Prichard is better than carter, infact the last couple of weeks he has been outstanding, the search for a no 9 is over, BA is doing a geeat Job with Prichard he is improving every week, Kaysa,s stats speak for themselves, Not bad for a park footballer
and a bush coach!
"He's got no heart.
He always goes for the easy option first doesn't run hard doesn't use his size.Hes a110 kg guy playing like an 85 kg guy.Hes still slow after doing a off season with Roger Fabri.
I don't think that changes he's the classic guy…"
"Although I picked Parra in the tipping comp, I did so with no great confidence.
I am probably in the minority but for me, Talagi on the bench is ridiculous.
It is hot and humid in Darwin and four forwards on the bench makes a lot more sense.
I…"

Maybe Wallace wants out?
I think like most if the off field is soughted the infield normally takes care of itself.
Evidence suggests Carter has too many issues to make it worth our while.
