Ready's Mail on Brandon Smith

Let’s go Brandon
Yep, cheese is critical to our recruitment as hooker is the only spine position left for us to fill. It is weird that all the other spine members are relatively cheap and inexperienced. The whole team is pretty good but this year will be a audition for the whole team going forward. There is no position that I’m unhappy with but time will tell whether they step up. It’s a good feeling thinking that I f we do sign someone it should be an upgrade in a position and not acting out of complete desperation
Reading the Chooks forum, they don't seem to be that keen on Brandon Smith. A lot of their subs think it doesn't balance their team and are worried he's a polarising figure, most would rather they use that money to secure Manu and keep their faith is Verrils, Marschke and Keirghan.
They're lucky enough to have that luxury, where as we don't, so if we can get him....get him!
Sharks signed Jayden Berrell, we def should have taken a look at him. Would have been low cost/low risk

But don't see how they can fit Berrell, Brailey and McInnes into the 9 position if Finuacane plays lock...
If we get Brandon Smith/ Reed Mahoney I will be happy, if we don't I'm a tad concerned
Supposedly 7 news said Tino is 50-50 and wants to stay loyal to us but also wants to play for Wayne.
