Played in the halves for us as well. Great all round player - who i'd be targeting. Just hope his wellbeing is okay. He's on the Matty Johns show talking about his mental health not being greatOff contract at the end of year.
Would be great to bring him back as cover for Tom.
Agreed...wouldnt be throwing massive cash at him.He strikes me as one of those average players who flourishes in the Melbourne system but doesn't set the world on fire before or after.
So you think he will leave Melbourne to play for Blacktown?Off contract at the end of year.

Why not? Melbourne isn’t exactly a great place to live. Anyways why would you assume he would have to live in Blacktown ? He played his junior footy with us.So you think he will leave Melbourne to play for Blacktown?
Actually you assumed that I assumed he would have to live in Blacktown. I never said anything about living in Blacktown, I said “play” for Blacktown. Most who play for Blacktown wouldn’t live there.Why not? Melbourne isn’t exactly a great place to live. Anyways why would you assume he would have to live in Blacktown ?

Kind of see him as a utility player. I think most clubs would at this stage. With Schuster more likely being an edge forward. We will need a good back up in the halves as well. I could honestly see him as a 14.Actually you assumed that I assumed he would have to live in Blacktown. I never said anything about living in Blacktown, I said “play” for Blacktown.

The point is, Melbourne are a very successful team, they have given him his break, he is coming through the best coaching system so if he leaves there do you honestly think it would be to play for Blacktown as backup to Tom? If he leaves Melbourne it would be to somewhere that want him to play first grade full time.
Yep, he could be a good 14 I agree. However, we’ve extended Cust, have bought Lawton and might have Manase back, so we probably have a utility in that mix.Kind of see him as a utility player.

BTW, I think we are a successful club as well.
Yea I think that’s the preferred option. We had Hiku back when Snake was always out. Could do worse than trying to get himYep, he could be a good 14 I agree. However, we’ve extended Cust, have bought Lawton and might have Manase back, so we probably have a utility in that mix.
I believe we need a good fullback backup as well, I just see it more in the form of a quality winger who can move there and do an equally good job at wing or fullback. Then we just need to replace a winger if Tom goes down which is much easier to do.
That's what I thought too. I would welcome him back to Manly, good player in every backline position.Not 100% sure but I think he extended with Storm not long ago. Not totally sure
NRL.com says he is contracted to the end of 2021. That’s why I started this thread.That's what I thought too. I would welcome him back to Manly, good player in every backline position.
I don't know why this thread eventuated, because I am pretty sure the storm gave him 2 or 3 more years.
fair enough - I was wrong Red PillNRL.com says he is contracted to the end of 2021. That’s why I started this thread.
That is a great 14 option .Connor Watson from Newcastle.
Off contract and covers all the positions.
