Should eels make a play for Sandon Smith, Roosters will let him go with DCE coming in next year. They rate Savala & Rodwell with Walker as futures.
I see we could use Smith as a 14 role. Also kicks goals. Very quick.
Ryles would have a relationship with him from being at Roosters.
Interesting that we need a 6, if eels make no play for him, kinda shows we have Galvin (on a handshake deal at best).

clarify, i know we have Dylan Walker in 14, but he could be used as a lock role
I wouldn't mind him. I like your idea of using him as the Dylan Walker type.
I think we might go for Galvin, but if we don't then I see the club waiting on Fletcher, Talataina to mature into the halves. Until they do, I can see us signing a guy like Sandon Smith or Bevan French that can play multiple roles but can do well in the 6 for a small period.
He's a good player anyway.
Bevan French will not return to Parra and no way would he play as a utility for any club he goes to.
If we don't get Galvin, sure I wouldn't mind him as a 6 next to Moses. He's not the finished product.
Agree. If Galvin doesn't sign after Nov 1, Sandon Smith should be on top of our hit list.
For anyone suggesting Sandon Smith would want to go to any club, let alone Parra to play no.14 is out of their mind. There's going to be 19 teams in a couple years, all desparate for half decent halves. No chance in hell he will come to Parra to play from the bench.
Thing about Smith is he can play both 6 & 7, but also Hooker. His versatility makes him a good signing for Perth or PNG.
I dont care if we have got Galvin for next year get Smith any way as you said be good off the Bench and a good back up for Moses or Galvin
I'm not sure that he is not a better player than Galvin already.
My guess is Sandon would get 500/600 with a new club and see himself as a starter.
Galvin will cost close to 1m based on the alternate offer he gets from Tigers. We get Sandon Smith straight away next year, so the replacement is in, whereas we might still have to wait a year for Galvin.
All makes sense to me.
Smith would be able to get a run as a starter wherever he goes. I doubt he would come to Parra to be a 14.
Meaning whoever signs him will sign him to start. Not that he would start for all 17 soon to be 19 teams.
