Btw, I'm talking about you quoting dollar amounts... If you really are privy to this info, why the hell do you post it if it is an offer? and surely whoever gives you the info must be a fool and should be sacked for knowing you will post it... or if you work for the club you should be sacked..

2015 as it looks as if Val Holmes will get that 25th spot in the fg squad, just waiting on NRL approval

i'm really impressed with this guy and think he will be a star in the NRL. I can't believe there is so much hype around Lichaa and not Nu Brown and Val Holmes.

Launched a bid for koro today
If we get him for the price we bidded ill be happy.
120k... cheap as chips

koro has flaws in his game but is worth the cheap risk.

I'd still hold back on Brown and Holmes this year. Look what happened to Tedesco when he he was rushed in FG was it last year? Broke a leg? Lichaa should play this year, but the NYC guys will only be better next year.

Look what happened to Dugan, DCE, Foran (they bloody killed it in the NRL).
No offence CHOGM but you can make a case either way.

Tedesco debuted against us in Round 1, 2012. From memory, his injury was more a freak accident more than anything.

True but some blokes just look bigger and harder from the outset, and brown and Holmes still look like kids. Foran and Dugan are exceptions granted. DCE played QLD cup before FG. Brown may be up to it, but Val Holmes just looks too immature physically to me. Very happy to be proven wrong.

The other thing to think about is confidence. Put a young bloke in FG too soon, they make some mistakes they lose confidence and it can take a while for them to get their mojo back.

These kids all dream of playing in the NRL - if the cap allows it, and our run-on squad is depleted, go for it.

Fair call regarding confidence. I was an advocate for Lichaa playing last year thou (in a winning side) but we don't take enough of a risk with some of our juniors. We hold them back to long and then lose them to other teams (Lichaa to the dogs for one).
I know Peach is playing NSW cup the last couple of weeks, but FMD, if we played him more last year we could have:
1. Kept him at the sharks
2. Given him more exposure for a better run this year
3. We'd have that X factor that we are all asking for

sorry, but if peachey was good enough, he would be playing first grade right now at the panthers. i would trust ivan cleary to be able to judge good talent. peachey is not ready for full time first grade, we knew that here and he was offered a bloody good contract to stay and left to chase the money. he may be a good first grader in a few years, depending on how he applies himself, but right now, he is a nsw cup standard that can fill in in first grade when required.

Guys don't break legs in lower grades?

Look at his body - its obvious he doesn't train hard enough too busy living off natural talent, like so many before him he is slowly working out its not enough to make 1st grade. Got to work hard as well.
