Under the radar buys of the season

Players that have little or no expectation on them going in to next year that you think will kill it. One from parra and one from another team.

For me,

Zeb Taia. While I think the titans will struggle I can see him being close to their best both in attack and defense. Always underrated when he was here then at Newcastle.

In terms of parra I'd like to see Cameron King take his opportunities with two hands. While both Peats and De gois have been very solid defensively we've been missing a spark out of dummy half really since the Marsh/Riddell days. If King or Kaysa (if he doesnt get injured) can provide another dimension to our attack this year I think it will go along way to us winning more games than we lose.

Morgs for mine, he really is underrated i really think he is due for a breakthrough season.

  Alan you're trying to get one up on Phil aren't you. Your filthy that Phil wrote a blog on him before you did. Poor loser and bad form Alan.

Hasson could be good for us, if we get some injuries.

For us it is Gutho. He will be a star and I wouldn't be surprised if he was our fullback one of these days. I am so happy we signed him.

For other clubs, that Matt Parcell at Manly is a star. He completely tore teams up in QLD cup and will be a great talent for years to come. Also if Aiden Sezer can stay healthy he will be the difference for the Raiders with his frankly amazing kicking game.

The non - Parra player for me is Damian Cook to Souths.

Unlucky not to get game time behind Ennis then Liccha, he has a great running game whenever he did managed to fill in at the Dogs. With Luke gone, watch for him to take the starting no 9 or utility role off the bench.

As for the eels, I think Cameron King or Mitch Cornish for me.

King was always tauted as the better hooker ahead of Mitch Rein but injuries forced him out of the Dragons a few years back. Since moving to the Cows, he never had a chance with Jake Granville arguably last year's buy of the NRL.

King knows he is on his last first grade contract with a mission to prove.

As for Cornish, I think a "simple" player like him will thrive if given the chance next to a class half like Foran. Of course Norman will get first crack but I see him pushing for the spot moreso than Kelly ever did.

He will be the Blake Green for us next year, no expectation but very solid next to a world class halve.

Got it in one Glenn, filthy.

Morgs is my hero, and no one in this place is allowed to wrap him except me.

Jeff Robson at the Warriors. Great foil for Johnson, Isaak luke and the like. He should thrive there. For Parra. ..Gutherson...have a lot of mates who are manly fans ...injury - free he should kill it

Lewis Brown at Manly. Great buy very underrated player. He is quite versatile and effective.

Its been said but Matt Parcell will be the next SOO hooker when Cam Smith retires. Manly have snared one out of the box. Great player.
