Why the needless, and quite frankly irrelevant dig?

£150k on a prop, is too much IMO. Especially for one like Paea, giving him the (rumoured) wage of an ex Test & SOO player is lunacy.

Exactly - O'Meley was an EX test and SOO player, who's body was shot and we still paid the money. Paea is younger and coming into his peak years, will suit out style of play - worth it IMO

O'Meley was fantastic in 2010 & 2011, don't let his antics this year sway your judgement.
If we're looking to give props £150k yet (rumoured to be) prepared to sign McDonnell at full back then something's amiss.

I wouldnt say he was fantastic, i think we could have got 2 props on his wage that did the job he did IMO

I think he's riding the red river atm. Every post is some form of dig, abuse or moan and he has the cheek to have a go at me.

Remind me of the last time your club spent the full cap? There again that depends on how much of the BS you believed from your previous mob.

Re: Rumours Ad Infinitum : Fri Jun 22, 2012 1:34 pm  

I'd say £150,000 for Paea is far too much for a player with his standing in the game. He's a good player don't get me wrong, but I can't say he's ever done anything outstanding in a game I've seen.

He does have good stats though, and for the right money I'd like to see him come here.

And the really annoying thing is he can still put in a very decent performance when his head is focussed on the game.

The game against Leeds proved that.
Still, he should never play for the club again.
