At least Elliott offers a lot more. Bird is a shot duck these days, offers nothing apart from his versatility, which we have far better backups in every position he can play.
What's he going to do for us that Dylan Walker isn't already? No for me

Would be dirt cheap and bring experience to the squad, maybe tigers are even paying some of the bill. It won't effect our salary cap much if any

but do we need dirt cheap players ATM - he would come off the bench we have Da silva, walker and 2 propper forwards, Jack is like a poor verson of walker
But nobody wants our money. Usually when a team has money like we should , you're hearing player managers leaking stories left and right about their players being linked to us , even clubs leak stories about their warchest to the media hoping to shake some fruit free.
The silence in this case is very alarming. When Canterbury were chasing , every Tom ,Dick and Harry were linked to them months before they signed them , and guess what , it happened.
Im concerned that decent players are buying into the fact they'll never win a comp if they come to Parramatta. It's the place you come when the offers have dried up .
"Mick, I went to all those semis and the one against Penrith was gold; even Easts game we made errors and Moran played well. Excellent footy we played The Brisbane team was packed with stars And from memory we only lost by half a dozen or so? "
"Good write up here - we have as much to play for as Easts. My gut tells me they're more willing to go the yard and make less errors.
We just need to hang in there; play our game; cut the stupid errors and compete for 80. Sounds easy enough.
Easts…"

No, we don't. We should have squillions to spend and this is the best we can do?

I honestly beleive Ryles had his man near before 25 kickoff for 5/8.
He seemed disinterested Brown signed elsewhere, wasn't interested in Doeihi or Smith.
Playing Joash at 5/8 when he's clearly a fullback suggests he's signed someone already.
If that's the case Pezet makes the most sense as he can transition into halfback in a couple of years.
All this money you just have to sell a forward pack to a kid who's father played here
How do you explain Galvin then? Seemed we were very interested in Galvin well and truly into the season.
All Ryles said was we're interested, once again fairly non plussed
