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.

Come back 😭
Yeah he's been awesome, EA. Created space / overlap in all of Knights first 4 tries. It sucks, but is good to see what he can do with strike outside backs & players like Ponga / Sharpe who support.
Yep good to see him play with people near his level not the dog shit backrowers and outside backs he was left with after our GF year
Copped it here like Hayne did and look what he was surrounded by!
Great to see Dylan reach his fabulous potential! Knew he would. Trouble was here he was always meant and trained to accompany Moses' game.
loved Gutho here but he did somewhat cramp Dylan's voice out there on left too.
in Newc he is expected to deliver for the $ and good on him coz he sure is.
Most here wanted him gone hohoho!
Yep Mace, good points around having his own voice in Newcastle.
Dylan won them the game today, and not just in having a hand in 5 tries but some textbook defence saving a try from Latrell also.
Obviously he'll need to keep improving into the general role but that was the most I've seen him ordering players around & setting up attacking shapes.
Another variable here is Justin Holbrook who is a very attack minded (and smart) coach, it's not an attack but I don't think BA was the best coach for DB.
Between that & the talent inside & outside who demand defences to cover, which they didn't at the Eels, DB looked every bit a 1m+ halfback today - and he's 25, with his best still to come.
Like Coryn, I'm still gutted we've allowed this to happen.
I am every bit a supporter of Dylan's Nos, I could not justify matching that offer just the same. That also said I always thought he could be burnt out at Parra. For his sake I am glad that hasn't happened and his form for NZ was sensational after break. He has developed his game overall at newcastle but I still find it hard to understand with his Union background and just natural talent he still does not have a kicking game that can let him manage a game completely. Like his peers who become greats.
All that said like Mace and EA and you, I wish we still had him....... I like the look of that Tom Bostock from Dolphins, one game back from an ACL and he looks a superstar of the future......I suppose he is locked in but Dolphin's are very full in all his positions. I would not mind paying a couple of hundred over market (what is market in this environment) to entice him away.
If we are going to get what we need we will have to pay BIG overs for some quality backs, I still believe our forwards (when all fit ) can have us hang in there, if we can get some athletic backs, that Bostock is about 6'4.
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.
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.
