Good news on both counts. Percival has obviously shown plenty of promise, and I think Turner has done alright considering how we're playing overall. I'd like to get a look at him playing for us under better circumstances.

Are you sure? I'd read read other posts which have said it was in the player's favour. I'll be pleased if you're right about that.

When you think about it, though, the concept of the third year option being in the employees favour would be a little bizarre, wouldn't it? |

Yes, it did strike me as slightly odd. |

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

He's a better all round player than Flash, I'd say, but we've got too many second rowers to justify using up a quota spot and a big wage on another one. Flash offers better value for money and doesn't take up an overseas spot. We should let Boof go and get ourselves a big, nasty, 'orrible prop. |

From what I read when he signed the extra year was in Laffranchi's favour, I suppose it depends on what the club offers a player for another year that makes the decision to stay or not.

I disagree.
Flash will give us far more service and is English so does not take a quota spot. I'd also assume that he will be on less money. I actually think he is a better player too (more importantly!). |

I'm not overly concerned with quota spots as I doubt most teams will fill the 5 spots anymore.
The money issue is a fair point, although I've not idea of the wage difference between Boof and Flash.
For me it's a straight toss up between them and I just think Laffranchi is the better player and only a short term measure.

Between Flanagan and Laffranchi, it would be Flanagan for me. Money and quota spots aside, I think he's a better player all round.

Quota spots are going to be absolutely crucial. If we're getting Walsh then we'll need someone other than Perry to leave if we're going to sign anyone like Paea or Hanbury. |

Don't be surprised if TP has a swansong in the NRL.

Either way, I can't see the point of filling a quota spot with a well paid and underforming player when we have a cheaper, British player who can do a similar job. Being up to the quota limit has really held us back over the last 18 months. |
