Victor has the capability to impact the game a lot, but being selected in NSW origin in the squad was a joke.

The guy is always either suspended or injured and although I think he is a handy player he def isn't worth over 500k and I think 450 at best.

Radley since the start of 2018

59 consecutive games

— ACL injury —

Since returning, has missed 10 of 42 games through suspension or injury.

Yeah - he busted an ACL and missed a full year. **** happens. Outside of that his reputation for never being on the park is a bit over-stated. He’s played 91 and missed 10.

I'd be throwing 800k at Dylan Brown

This is fair. I guess tol I am thinking of the past two years and not before the ACL injury

I would be then picking up the 800k off the ground after it hit him and offer it to a better player.

Radley is an enforcer, and a skilled one too. Rare combination.

I'd actually pay him overs to come to the Sharks.

Not that I think the Roosters would allow him to be pried loose anyway.

Brown is a good 6 but certainly not worth that to us

Radley is (imo) the best ball playing 13 in the game but his enforcer side lets him down - bit of injury, bit of suspension, bit of distraction
He’d be a better player if he toned it back 5%… but probably not as fun to watch

Not knocking people's heads off as much should be a pretty easy thing to achieve.

He is a tough guy for his size, but I don't seem him as an enforcer. JWH on the other hand is probably the best "enforcer" in the game at the moment

I thought Greg Bird was an enforcer, so I'm talking more along those lines.

In that era you could hear the loud smack from Bird's tackles from right up on the hill.

I’ll have to take your word for it, but I certainly don’t doubt it.

Ponga agrees.

Greg bird also had about 10kg on Radley. And IMO was more of an enforced than Radley ever will be.

Was Bird 103kg in his younger days, when he first started playing for the Sharks?

Genuine question, but I assumed he began at 93 or 94kg.

I'm probably wrong.

And a stupid off field incident cost us any chance of a genuine premiership opportunity.
