"Well it would be loss/loss. As if they don't try you have a go as they didn't attempt to get a player. But if they do try and fail you have a go that we are useless at getting good players."

I agree we don't have much depth. Volkman isn't a FG. Lorenzo and other juniors are not ready. In fact any injury to 1,6,7,9 will result in Papalii coming into the team in some way
We have the worst outside backs in the juniors. We should be throwing cash at a premiership winner centre or origin level rep player. It'll help our development of the juniors buying Albert Kelly does fuck all.
Oh yes let's just buy Farnworth or Crichton right now for obscene money.
worth a try

These Juniors we are pinning our hopes on better be worth it.
If we don't take a punt on them we have no hope of being a top club. I agree it's a gamble but realistically we don't have a club that is synonymous with success so we won't get top shelf players defecting to the Eels like they do at the Broncos or Roosters (or Bulldogs with Gus).
If we want to have sustained success we're going to have to "do a Penrith" and hope that our juniors can do some serious heavy lifting.
No big loss.
He has turned into a pretty good defensive Centre and is good enough to be in our 17.....but you are right he is replaceable.
He was going good in the second half of the year, I think Kelly is an upgrade. All the best to him in the future but mainly 2026.
