Quote: Mad_Jack_Mcmad "After Sunday would be happy with Doof stepping up and the money being used to tie up our younger players to long term deals.
What about Adam Walker? Then there is young Fairbank is his first team future in the front or second row?
If the new TV deal down under goes down I can't see any top aussies coming over unless they are paid stupid wages and I wouldn't want to waste big money on a player who, in Nathan Brown's words "Only needs to run the ball hard and straight and tackle anything that moves."
Griffin would be a loss but if we have money for a big signing (and there's no evidence we do) I would rather spend it on a top quality experienced centre to come in, add the edge that is missing in our attack and help develop players like Cudjoe and Wardle to become better players.'"
Agree with the younger players to be given a go.But look at the wages o donnell is on £1 million over 4 years.A lot of money to run the ball straight and hard and tackle anything that moves.
Id give walker 4 or 5 run outs this year and see if he can earn a place for next season.A new centre would be good - joel reddy from the eels is out of contract i think.
