  Heard Eels are interested in Jordan Rankin the wonder kid from the titans a few years ago, currently playing for Hull & off contract personally I think we should put Beau Henry on a 2 yr contract at parra as Kelly's partner for wenty

  Rankin would be a good pick up. Showed alot early some attitude issues were the reason he left the tits. Still young can play full back.

  I'd prefer Tim Smith back, we lack experience in the 7. Dureau isn't as established as Tim whilst he is a decent player. I know we have Norman and Foran as our halves pairing for next year but you'd have to think injuries will play a part. To have a player like Tim on the bench or in NSW Cup i think would be positive to our young inexperienced lads. However with money supposedly being an issue to re-sign Reece Robinson it looks bleak and unlikely to happen.

    Tim Smith peaked in 2005, a decade ago. I think we need to look to the future, some1 long term.

    It's easy to be terrible when you're going through mental health issues like he was. I disagree Brett we don't respect veterans and experience anymore.

  The first thing you want from a backup is NRL level defence so they can take their place in the line without being a massive target. The next thing you need from a backup half is a kicking game. Anything after that is gravy, and probably makes them too good to be a backup.
