Left field option.

Staggs has actually played some 6 in his career, what if parra offer him the 6 jersey to bring him to the club ? 🫢

    no idea is a bad one , that being said, i dont know that we are that desperate , to source a left field 5/8, on top dollar, from interstate.

    if Parra were looking to manufacture a 5/8, they will do internally, with someone looking to get a start in the NRL.

    • He can easily shift to centres again once the young guys are ready for that void. But staggs as a running 6 for a year or two wouldn't be the worst thing. 

      • the games only getting faster, given what we have seen to date, Joash would be getting a look well before Staggs at 6.

         

        • Only thing that worries me with Joash is the defensive work and size, but once he gets a bit stronger he'll be there 

    • The next no.6 should not be a running 5/8. It hasn't worked with DB. What would compliment Mosses and our outside backs is a 5/8 with a great short kicking game. This is the missing piece of the puzzle. 

      Having said that, I think Ryles need to find at least one good centre. Hearing Grant Anderson may be going to the Broncos. I don't know what that will mean for Staggs, Cobbo, Jesse Arthurs, Shibasaki, Hoeter or Deine Mariner. Any one of these outside backs would be a great pick up for us, and better than what we currently have. Surely Broncos can't hold onto all of them. 

      • I wonder if manly looks at moving on brooks ? At the right price he would be another solid player at 6. Hearing they might want to try Turbo at 6 but who knows really 

        • Not a huge fan of Brooks. Don't think he has that short kicking game we desperately need to partner Mosses. Turbo would be better suited to centre other there IMO.

          Sandon Smith would be the best of what is available atm. Hopefully we can land him. 

      • Completely agree about a short kicking half.

    • He might need a change of scenery and freshen up. It would be interesting to see 

      • I would never say no to Staggs in general. Talent is talent.
