You're The Talent Scout - Who Would You Sign?

I've spent far too much time watching footy from the couch in recent weeks, but in doing so I've gained an appreciation of players from other clubs. It got me thinking about recruiting "bargain" players. Who would you recruit? The proviso - no player in your list is allowed to be a representative level player. To qualify, a player cannot have played origin, nor can they have played a test match for Australia, NZ or England. Internationals for other "minnow" countries are permitted.Here's mine.Fullback - Valentine Holmes - potentially close to HayneWings - josh Mansour, Marike Koroibete edit - forgot Mansour played for Australia. David MeadCentres- James Roberts, Euan AitkenFive eighth- Blake AustinHalf - Kane ElgeyLock - Shaun FensomSecond Rows - Gavin Cooper, Bryce CartwrightProps - Paul Vaughn, Tyson FrizellHooker - Jake GranvilleOver to you. I've not selected Under 20s or NSW Cup players, but they are eligible.I can't believe the number of Raiders players I've selected! Even though it looks like one, I'm not counting it as a team list blog as not one Parra player is included.Please note - this is not meant as a "who should Parra sign" blog. The players don't have to be off contract. What potential stars or good club players would you sign if you could?

  • Tom T and his two brothers
  • Sixties buddy, agree fully with all your picks mate especially Roberts and Holmes............nailed it champion....
  • Jack Littlejohn. Thought he played well last year when playing both for Foran and DCE when they were injured. Don't know what happen to him or if he is playing poorly in lower grade.

  • Fair blog 60's but I would not have Austin; he's having a good year but I've seen him take some wrong options and not pass the ball when he's had ample time to. There was a warrios prop I saw in the reserves today; he was big and strong. Forget his name but he looked good. Cartwright will not leave Penrith; his uncle will be coach there soon I think.

  • I'll qualify this further. This is not "who should Parra sign now?". It's not even players off contract. It's just like a fantasy team, but with the rep level qualifier and no Parra players. What good club level players or potential stars would you sign.
  • Mansour played for australia.

    From the top of my head Jake friend, segeyaro, adam reynolds, bj leilua, tolman, tim Simona, dwz, waqa blake, Jake mamo, anthony milford, aidan seizer, kane evans, moga.
  • fullback - James Tedesco

    wings - Mansour, Koroibete

    centres - James Roberts, Aitken

    five eighth - Jack Littlejohn

    half back - Elgey

    props - Vaughn, Tolman

    hooker - Peats (would not swap him for anyone)

    second row - James Graham, Cartwight

    lock - Fensom (real work horse)

    • No Parra players allowed! Also I've been informed that Mansour has played for Australia - I'd forgotten that.
    • James Graham has captained England, he doesn't count.
