I feel sorry for Duffie, the kid could have been a superstar by now.

Would give him a cheap contract for sure.

I would definitely take a chance on Duffie. Get the medical team to check him out before signing anything and if they think he is ok, give him a good off season.

a couple injuries isn't always the end of the world.

2-3 years of terrible injuries, no thanks.

gordon had 2 years of bad injuries was also older and we signed him.

I would for sure throw him a cheap contract like what we did with grothe. See how he trains and go from there.

Just thought of a question. Besides Brown and Holmes, who are our next best juniors in the 20s? Joshua Addo-Carr looks like he is elusive and fast, is there anyone else that we should look at playing first grade next year?

LOL - as if our medical team has an awesome track record regarding injury management...

There is no one apart from holmes and brown that will be ready for next year, and 90% of this 20s side have no chance of ever playing first grade. Maybe deitz but havn't seen him play. Brailey, Isaako and Tracey are very talented but are only 18 and won't be possibly ready for first grade until 2016/2017

100% we sign this goose for 7.
Good playing goose but still a goose.

Robson to 9 and Canberra can have Ennis.

That's the Flarp plan for sure.

If we miss out on some of the backs we're after we should look at Jordan Rapana. Playing reserve grade for the raiders. 6 foot 2, 100kegs, only 24. He's got ability, just hasn't put it all together yet.

Outside backs

Tautau Moga
Matt Duffie
Marika Korobieti

Hooker
Ennis/Srama
Rory Kortjisan as back up hooker if we need one

Gordon
Feki
Luetele

Koriobete
Duffie
Gagan
Ayshford (just because he is already signed)

Halves/hookers
Carney
Brown
Robson
Ennis
penani

Forwards
Gallen
Lewis
A fifita
D Fifita
Graham
Heighnington
Arona
Taga
Gibbs if he wants to play another year/ or another prop
Prior (just because he is already signed)
The SOP
