  • I reckon if we get him, Hoppa will go. We can't afford Johnston, Hoppa, Sandow, Scott.
    We gotta to resign Pauli, Robinson

    I think Lussick n Morgan will be gone too.
    • No id be letting Robinson and Sandow go before Hoppa.
  • What isn't great about Johnston? He has pace, he is a great finisher, he has excellent footwork

    Yeah he sucks

  • Not real sure if he will be a good buy jelly. He has been good up until now but will he be good in an eels jersey?

  • The dudes over rated , he ain't much better than Kevin Locke, and u will get him for half the price
    • Mate u blokes have rocks in your head. IF YOU THINK HE WILL BE IN THE TOP 5 fullbacks in the NRL, give me whatever your smoking
  • He's got serious speed and finishing ability but his defence at Fullback is going to be disappointing if you're expecting anything better than Hoppa's. Wouldn't pay top coin for him straight away but he's someone who could develop into a genuine star in the future. It's a risk possibly worth taking.

  • From what I've seen of him so far I agree 100%, but then again I feel the same way about Princess Foran.  I think Beau Scott was a good buy, he's a tough customer which is what we need right now cause with a player like that he can lift the rest of the team in defence. 

  • This little bird told me if $$$ talk you will be and EEL next year.

    But he wants to stay at South.  But he wants to play full back

    And this little Bird said the Roosters have offering him Roger  tuivasa sheck money to him but it not as much as Parramatta offer

  • I personally think hes a bit overrated. I think people look at his try scoring rate and think that translates into talent and ability, when really his trys are on the end of an outstanding souths backline. Any backline with inglis in it is going to create space further out wide as extra defenders will be dranw in to stop inglis.

    I havnt seen anything yet, besides his pace, that says he will be an nrl quality fullback. The fullback position these days requires a decent passing game and he hasnt had the opportunity to show whether he can or cant do that yet.

    If parra sign him i think they need to be prepared for him to play on the wing if he doesnt work out at fullback, which is a strong possibility. Which then brings into question how much are you prepared to pay for a winger, especially considering semi is on the other wing and his value is only going to increase over the next few years. Ideally wingers should be taking up a minimal part of the salary cap to allow for larger spending in more key positions, like your back row and your spine.
