People go on about why sign other players and not gifty.
Here it is:
1. Sign G.Stewart to a sum he would find agreeable (450-600k range)
2. Lose T.Symonds, J.Buhrer, J.Sene-Lefao
OR
1. Don't re-sign G.Stewart
2. Re-sign T.Symonds, J.Buhrer, J.Sene-Lefao with the funds you would have used for G.Stewart.
Don't bring logic into the Gifty debate.
Sheesh.
[Ferris is the new Gifty anyway.]
Paulo would be a star at Manly. Could be more than a replacement for Dan Harrison. We have so much young front row talent, and Lauaki will be exciting with a preseason under his belt. But if King hangs up the boots I would have thought a front rower who has been around is what we need to guide these kids.
I think that's why we did get Lauaki on board.
For that extra hard-head who's been around.
So I'd say the jury's still out on him; and Sao and Chee Kam at this stage. Although it wouldn't do any of those guy's confidence much good, to get wind of this.
And even if we could fit him in (and if this rumour's true!) I'll take some convincing that it's the right option for us moving ahead next year and beyond.
