Heres an opportunity for a squad that's bleeding and needs help get Jaydn Sua post 27 by all means necessary.
This shouldn't be that hard to do St George are in more of a mess than us so cmon JR and co make this happen.

Hey Pops, how's the recovery going?
Pops, we never had to match the offer from Newcastle to keep Dylan, we just had to offer something ($$ or years) to remove the clauses in his contract, as we did with Mitch Moses - an extra year at 1.2m/1.3m or whatever he is on.
Its all a moot point now and I definitely agree we burned him out playing him like an outside back, 5/8th & only cover defender every week. It's a tough watch Pops, but is what it is.
Bostock was awesome wasn't he, hard to believe that was his first game back in first grade.
Nightmare Off-Season
Hey Mate! and Coryn
Can't argue with your logic Nos, and I am always with you on your quest for atheletism Coryn.
Bostock is //could be a real choice. I am not convinced we could get Herbie even at 1.2m but I think that Bostock would be on say 500 at the Dolphins, I would double it if necessary. Mainly a case of negotiation.
This is how I would approach it....."we could make a career changing option for him" would he be interested in moving if we took you (agent) down and showed him the area and facilities (I the negotiator) know Redcliffe pretty well and would know what he has as a facility and community)..." I understand he has tertiary qualifications, we can introduce him in due course to some some big companies we are associated with".
Back at the Farm.......Sorry but he is pretty happy up here and doesn't fancy a move interstate. ........Hmmmm what sort of money would he be interested in to make that attractiveness change?
We are guessing he is probably on 350 to 500? ......well we would not want to get into a dutch auction, but ask him if there is a number that can help......well we have spoken to him and he would be looking in the 650's plus......ok plus what?........ how does 750 sound.....
"Been back to him and he could be convinced' Ok can we first of all bring him in and any family member's, partners etc so we can do a full tour?.....all at our cost of course, we may arrange a helicoptor view from the Northern Beaches, up the Hawkesbury, over Parramatta City and then the centre of excellence.....he will be surprised how close to the waterways we are and how magnificent the Hawkesbury catchment is compared to his own Pine Rivers in Redcliffe!
Back at the Farm Again.....Look he has discussed this with his family and I have mentioned a possibility down south with the club, they say they will not lose him but will go close to matching your offer????
After the Tour!!!......OK lets meet and see what he thinks.....well what do you think Tom, after that tour.
Gee thanks, you certainly offer some career changing aspects that have never been made before to me. Your offer is very generous but I don't think so at the moment!
Ah well that is a shame because everyone that has met you has been very impressed, Mitch says you would fit in well and a few of our Qld boys thought so as well, when they spoke to you.
Well lets leave at this Tom, we will make you an offer offer of 1m per season for 5 years and pay all family relocation costs and say 10 home games with travel and accomodation for Mum and Dad and your siblings to watch you play.
If you are interested in this we hope to hear from you within the month as we have explained to you we are very conscious of building our side into a premiership contender immediately and money is not an object for you and some other players we have also identified.
Well I am sold, what do you guys think......the people conducting that tour would probably be ?????
Pops dead right Bostock is exactly what the doctor ordered for our outside backs and brings an aerial game we haven't had since Lomax and he's got a different body type for our outside backs also.
With regards to DB I tried to tell anyone that would listen that he would and will have to grow into being a full time 7 that's what alot couldn't see here they just listened to the commentary of what he was and is now and automatically assumed DB can't control a game.Much like a young Mitchell Moses when he first got here couldn't control a game couldn't tackle to save his life always looked for the big plays but 6-7 seasons later given the keys to the side now look Moses can do it all.That's exactly how I looked at DB transitioning to being a full time 7 and now he's doing it in year 1 at Newcastle.
Parra put all the hard yards into DB and now the guys most probably going to flourish at Newcastle.I'm sure like Moses he's going to have growing pains along the way but it makes me sick that he isn't having those growing pains here.
Parra lost this guy because they were smug enough to think Peter O'Sullivan whose had a hard on for DB for 5 years wouldn't pull the trigger on him but he did and now look at us I mean seriously we let an elite talent get taken from underneath our noses without a viable replacement insight.He then last year with bugger all FG footy goes and plays pacific cup and rips everyone a new one just to say hey even though I played Bugger all nrl this year I'm good to go here.IMO for a team that's battling to try and win a premiership this just isn't smart recruitment or retention letting talents like DB and Lomax move without the hint of long term viable talented replacements moving foward.Basically your burning a year or 2 by doing it.
Long story but it makes me sick watching a Parra Jnr who was here nie on a decade look the goods wearing some other farken teams jersey it makes me sick.
I'm still pissed about DB not being here we do all the hard work getting him to this level and now he's gone forever.
Eels need far more than Sua.
can they take swap mark o'neill for free. Every fan.will chip in to piss him.out the door
Chiefy, what is it with your obsessions.....you are still not forgiven for your pathetic attempt at justification for our juniors that have gone to others same for your poor response to Daz, when he asked you a particular question.
If you want to get rid of O'Neill go and get Cheika from Roosters! Then we will have a real General Manager Football.....O'Neill is not, but you don't seem to understand that. O'Neill is a manager football, not a general manager.
Its like you and me in the Army Chiefy, I would be a General and you would be the Corporal Company Clerk. Indespensible but no ability to make decisions. LOL
