Well now the JR has come out and basically said our recruitment needs to improve and we have now missd out on Jenkins, I dare said the spotlight/blowtorch/toilet brush will now be applied to the R&R department

Surely we throw the bank at herbie, eels can also make him a millionaire, we need to pay overs, herbie is the one. If he talking to roosters, surely he will at least talk to us right?

  Though yeah we can offer say $1.4 mil for example. Roosters can do the same and even more with their TPA's.
  
  Ok not sure if this me just going mad from supporting this team, but here me out. Would anyone even think of Herbie at 6? It is far fetched, never played it though does have skills to be very effective. Kicking might need some technical work but rest of his game is fine for the position. In that sense, it is a lot, but makes it reasonable for your cap.
  
  I know i will get some people calling me out for that suggestion, i guess it is a decent conversation starter. I for one usually hate when people say "How about this player at this spot" but we are that desperate we have to try something.

I don't think Jenkins is a big miss for us, depending of course on other, better options. He's a good player, but I really feel we need a big strong winger, especially we with Ado Carr on the other wing. I just hope Parra is on the ball here and they know exactly the type of player they want.

  Jenkins is good. I agree not as good as many say, but he is good. Issue is there is not really anything else on the market. Unless you go for Taulagi.
  
  They know what they want, as Ryles would tell them type. But it is getting to a point with who they are missing where it went from "We need an athletic Winger, strong, fit and fast." To now it could be "Winger, fit and fast". Still good but can get better but who right now is better?

"Galvin was NEVER coming. Kean, why would you pay a million plus for him, I'm glad we didn't get him. As for Wilson, like LB stated, he is dumb. I can't believe so many are losing their shit over missing out on Wilson and Jenkins, Wilson is a reserve…"
