At the end of the day we need bodies out on the field, we can't just keep throwing young players who aren't ready to the wolves.
Right and what did I say in that comment that suggest otherwise?
I said Uele is better than what we have for this year. I don't believe in signing for sake of it, but for rest of this year to cover for injuries just to get by I don't mind someone like Uele.
I dont care what anyone says our list of backs heading into the season (when including back ups too) was up there with the worst in the comp. We needed an easy draw and no injuries like manly. Their reserves are also shit but no injuries in their backs and an easy draw and they have stayed competitive. Luck goes a long way.
Very easy draw to point they went 0-3.
If all teams were full strength then sure manly probably get the spoon. But factoring in no injury issue and an easy draw and that changes quickly. Luck.
Unless it's elite talent I'm not handing out anything past a 1 plus 1 with that second year being a club option.
I need to put these guys from other clubs on notice not roll out the deck chairs for them.
Much like when we took ICE from the Warriors prove it 2 yr deal on minimum wage and he outplayed his contract and became that Daly M back rower of the year.
The only way you take a guy like Timoko as an example is if Canberra are paying at least half the freight much like when Riff helped us out with RCG for 5 years or whatever it was.
Yes we are desperate but we don't need to act like it and give unwanted players 5 star treatment we need to see them earn those stars before showing them that comfort if not kick rocks and move on.
We've been on the hunt for weeks. A complicating factor is that virtually no player wants to only sign for part of a season. They all want at minimum an additional year to 2 years. So adding someone to the roster this year is clearly needed, it's complicated by the fact we may not need that player next year (especially in the case of middle forwards). So we could get someone added to the roster who then falls down our depth chart when we get players back and suddenly we're paying probably a substantial sum to a NSW Cup player.
Yep I can see this you don't dedicate long term money to also rans nope you almost take the pain.
Like in my post above yes we are desperate but we don't make desperate decisions if there are long term cap implications season on the line regardless.I get that bit.
Thats our issue in a nutshell our development is still a couple of years away and our depth basically is depleted through injury rock meet hard place.
Me I've hated our back 5 for years it's alright when the best is on the park but lord now it isn't we are exposed.
