Power Play. Who should we go for?

Fergo seems gone. BA's lost complete trust in him. Rumors floating about Union club/s interested. From reports and my recollection, he's on 600K. If he was sent packing who/ what do we need that will make a differance? Increase our chances for the premiership. Tom Opacic is a decent player. Solid. Belt and braces but he's not a game breaker. He'll always play 6-7/10.

I think we lack a strike centre and someone that can be a star. My choice would be Adam Pompey. I've watched him 4-5 times and I'm impressed by his pace, dancing feet and tackle busts. His defence is solid too.

  • I think Moses Suli would be good for us. Stuck on the bench at Manly. Tupou and Ikavalu are also good options.

    • Suli is a Parra junior who blew his welcome. Tupou also a Parra U/20s Grand Final player I believe. I don't know how the previous recruitment team lost him to the broosters, but it wasn't an anomaly at the time I recall we lost planty of good junior talent prior to BA coming home to Parra.

      • Was Nolan the recruitment officer at that time?, he has just been fired by the broncos. The broncos recruitment under him has been abysmal. 

  • I wouldn't be chasing anybody at this point. Haze Dunsted already looks comfortable, and we should definitely be looking at Penisini before we recruit a centre. 

    • I still want to see how Haze goes against a top team, he looks comfortable around average competition so far. But i'd like to see what hes like under some real pressue, but so far so good. 

      We seem to be well covered on all position, so i'd say if we have cash to splash keep it tucked away for a situation like TPJ. 

      • He got thrown into that finals game with no match fitness and didn't embarrass himself 

      • That's my point, let's find out what we've got in him before we recruit. At this point in our development I don't think we should be recruiting centres, wingers  or edge forwards. They are the most easily replaced players, but oddly enough the most overpaid. Every club should be able to develop players for those positions, really only playmakers & elite middles should be in our recruitment radar, at least in terms of starters. 

        • Brett of our starting spine, which do you feel needs to be replaced?

          • Sorry, I'm not saying we need to, I'm saying that is where your big recruitment money should go, if in fact you're spending big. 
            And the only playmaker in the game that would chase is Cam Munster. 

            • I agree. Sorry I did not read your post correctly. Too quick rushing to the keyboard
