Luke O'Donnell

Can we sign him? Are we over the cap? He would be just the guy we need. This blog is from Zero Tackle.

Off-contract premiership winning veteran Luke O’Donnell will get a 2014 NRL swansong – but it might not be with the Sydney Roosters.

One of the few players to make a successful return to the NRL after being put out to pasture in the English Super League, the former Cowboy enforcer’s career will continue with two club’s ready to swoop should the Roosters fail to offer him a deal.

With the sweet taste of premiership success whetting his appetite for one more year, O’Donnell has delayed retirement and is negotiating a new deal.

“He is going to play again,” said O’Donnell’s manager Wayne Beavis.

“He had a great year and wants to continue. There is no reason why he should stop.”

O’Donnell will only link with a Sydney club having set up home in the harbour city since returning from his stint with the Huddersfield Giants.

"To be fair, Parra have never really had a culture of putting in past great players into the coaching role, other than perhaps Ricky Stuart (who had runs on the board at other clubs) and Mick Cronin. Both of those were short term,"

Keeping BA in position purely because there is not a signed & sealed replacement ready to go, would be far more damaging.
