This is the exact signing Parra would chase.

walker is on 600k and most of it is long serving player allowance
Contracted to 2029 at the cows. No way they let him leave without a decent player swap.
Girlfriend is having a baby, she ain't moving to NQ (it will take a lot of convincing), she's Kellyville local, he'll look to move to Sydney. Which club lands him, that remains to be seen.
I would love Tom Deadern but knowing the Eels they would be completely bat shit clueless and wouldn't even offer him a contract, there not even linked to anyone at all. Either they are fucking dumb, blind or they taking that shit that Iongi took. Fuck me dead this club, SIGN A PLAYER!!! If they stay like this next year we are getting the spoon, I have a serious question are the people in our club fucking dumb? Honestly it's not a rhetorical question
You yell sign a player. I agree, however you cannot just sign anybody. We did sign a player in Edwards and Su'A, but that doesn't answer the SIGN A PLAYER claim?. I know Edwards is not a big name as that is what you want.
There are some decent names out there who are either available or could be available; Jenkins, Timoko, Tago, Xerri, Burton, Leniu. I mean getting say two of them is not bad business. I reckon we get one at least.
As for Dearden, it depends on how much he wants. He was the starting 7 for QLD and if not injury he would be the incumbent. Now we have Moses on $1.3m at the moment. What would Dearden cost? Roughly the same? Question is with so many needs in this team, particularly in the backs where we could need 3 starting quality backs and a quality forward, how much are we willing to spend on a 5/8? Burton, if we see him as a 5/8, at least would be slightly cheaper. But do we break out bank for Dearden, have nearly $3 mil of our cap on our halves and the rest could fall by the way side around them?
If we had some talented backs coming through, i could argue you can do that as they would be cheap and the halves make them even better. But we don't therefore to be somewhat competitive we need to spend on the market and need money to do so.
I would much rather for example get Jenkins, Tago and Leniu. Instead of just going Dearden and maybe get Jenkins. The latter is still not a bad haul but our back 5 is still roughly the same with just Jenkins and still need a quality middle.
Let's say we did sign Dearden and could only get Tago with Penrith pitching in, i would be fine with it of course. But getting 3-4 signings would be better. For what i would cost to get Dearden you could get Jenkins, Tago and some of Leniu's contract all in one go. Think about it. Is it really clueless or more so priorities? As i would not go for Dearden as he would cost $200-300k more than Burton at this stage and that money can be used for more crucial areas.
If you for example land the three i just mentioned, you could get away with Volkman at 6 and be competitive.
Parra need an influx of at least 3 players one in the middle and at least 2 outside backs that's the low tide in the recruitment stakes.
If we are still rolling out anything that looks half pie like we've got now it's going to be a long year next year also.
This squad is cooked there's bugger all physicality in the middle our back 5 yardage game is trash and we as a squad are just not athletic enough across the park.
That has to be the goal to get more athleticism and physicality within the squad.
God knows what the plan is at 6 I don't think the powers that be even no but anyway as above this team needs more talent that's the bottom line.
As for Deardon why would he come to Parra.I suspect the Cows will make him one of the most well paid halves in the game.

Don't worry about the spoon DH, worry about that Real Estate Market
You "herd" a lot of things Anal, any chance one may come good one day?

Paul Kent has him going to the eels chiefy.
