Our big signing Jayden Sua badly injured

Now let me tell people something, although I've been a big fan of Sua, Parramatta can't keep going down the road of signing 29 or 30 yeae olds.

People are going to say that injuries happen to anyone, but thats incorrect, as players get past 27 or 28 on average they become more injury prone

Now, look at the Panthers, they hardly if ever sign players over the age of 27 hence their low injuries. When their current players get to around 28 they let them look around for other opportunities and concentrate on keeping younger players for example, Liam Martin at 28 is becoming heavily injury prone hence they are allowing him to go to November 1. Thats how its done. You don’t let players like Sam Tuivaiti get to nov 1 bs

Now the reason im saying this is because im hearing we're on the verge of signing another player very experienced but over the age of 30. Not sure who but Penrith would never do this.

Sua faces up to 6 months on the sidelines depending on the severity of the calf tear

I’m confused because before you were saying you can’t compare Parra to Penrith, but now your whole argument is based around “Penrith would never do this”.

Also the Tuivaiti November 1 thing has nothing to do with whether experienced players should be signed. One is retaining juniors, the other is balancing experience in a rebuilding roster.

You also defended keeping/signing Dylan Walker when rumours came up, despite him being over 30, so the argument seems inconsistent depending on the player.

The post says a month or more. How do you know it is 6 months? Christ you are acting as if he tore his ACL.

Finally, if there is a rumour of a proposed middle signing, why are you not saying who unless you are sworn to secrecy? If anything give us hints as to location of the club they are at now?

I agree and said for sometime we need to get younger, as to why i was fine with Walker going but be consistent.

Do you know who this other very experienced player is rumoured to be?

  All i know is that he's 29 - 30 +
  
  You'd have to say a middle
  
  Knowing parra, we'll probably forgo Sam Tuivaiti for Jacob Safiti
