MICHAEL OLDFIELD

Has anybody heard we might be signimg this guy? Fair dinkum, the guy hasn't done much in his career, and will be 30 in a few weeks. We would have been better off having a crack at Corey Allen from Souths, who has been offered a release. He is only 22.

  •  Surely we have some good young outside backs coming through the pathways? Even kids who you know are going to end up in the middle, give them a crack.Allen could walk up and start at fullback for a few struggling clubs and his price would have gone up considerably after his efforts at the back end of this season.

    • We must have signed Stephan Kearney in an advisory role. I'm sure the staff know what they are doing but some of these names thrown up recently remind me of the great recruitment drive of 2011.

    • It’s giving me shivers bruz

  • I'd go for Corey Allan instead

      • I think a few maybe under the impression that since we have let a few go that we have money to burn but the only one on the list of 11 who was on good coin was Evans,and maybe Takes but the rest were mostly on minimum wage so that's what we have to spend.Would be nice to upgrade on Evans however I think Hughes and Hollis are of similar build and hopefully at least one of them turns out better than ok.Hughes is possibly ahead of Hollis in fact I'm not sure Hollis will get a crack at all next year.He is tall but not ready IMO. I see him around a bit, he's still a kid .

        We possibly have Jennings money although we may be in a position where we have to pay for him ,or may get an exemption but even he was on a smaller amount next year,the hard part is finding someone as good which won't happen for bottom dollar. call it moneyball or whatever but without having access to the Roosters accountant we can't stack the team full of superstars.

         

  • I'd kill for Corey Allen but I don't think he'd go anywhere to play wing

    • He'd look good at left centre

  • The problem is that ba can't bring through or identify Juniors so we're stuck with recruiting tried and true hackers 

    • Surely there would be scouts in the club that could do this though Chiefy, wouldn,'t you think,??

      • Correct me if I'm wrong. Parramatta has a big nursery so would be spending lots on a lot of kids that will never make it,whereas team's like Roosters and Storm dont have the nursery but instead spend lots on the best kids who will all mostly go on to be stars.
