There is no way Elgey waits 2 years for his shot at regular NRL. Whether it's with us, or with another club he will play top grade within that time frame. Not saying he will kill it immediately, but some desperate coach somewhere will take a chance on him sooner rather than later.
Let's hope it's our desperate coach, and not yours MT
In all honesty, if god forbid, one of our starting halves sign an immediate release or injure themselves and Elgey is thrown in the deep end within the first 3 rounds, He'll go close to DallyM rookie of the year. I will back him in with a fat bet down at the TAB in such a scenario.
