Let's put it in its proper perspective. He will not even consider coming.
Spot on , throw the farm at himI personally would like Maloney here. Just to give the younger halves a little more time. Maloney is the kinda bloke you want to play with!
If Souths get Maloney and Gagai, where does this leave Adam Reynolds?Souths interested in Maloney too.

Maloney and Watson should not be the half's pairing in my opinion they are both running five eights, Hodko if he can maintain the form of the last two weeks would be the perfect half's pairing for Maloney. In saying that he was supposed to be the perfect half's pairing for Mullen and that didn't work out as planned.The thing with Maloney though, if we get him it'll be him and Watson in the halves you'd think but it could also backfire with us having Lamb and Cogger waiting in the wings who have been told they're our future.

They are 19/20.. plenty of halves don't mature enough to reach regular FG until 21-22..
They can learn their trade in reserves, or go to another stronger club to develop their game. It'll benefit them in the long run.
I just don't think we can carry such a young 1,6,7,9 if we want to move forward, and help all players develop.
In 3 years time when Maloney will likely retire, they'd be ready for FG.. If they chose to go to another club in that situation, good luck to them. But theres a lot more at stake here then Lamb/Cogger having their confidence battered. You've got people like Sione and Saifitis twins who bust their rings each week, and are seeing poor game mgmt errors costing us games.
I call crud on the above saying they aren't ready. Look at mr Nathan Cleary. 19 years old and making a good name for himself. He plays behind a good forward pack. Lamb and cogger would look just as good behind that pack also.
What Cleary is doing at Penrith has nothing to do with Lamb/Cogger here.I call crud on the above saying they aren't ready. Look at mr Nathan Cleary. 19 years old and making a good name for himself. He plays behind a good forward pack. Lamb and cogger would look just as good behind that pack also.
Lamb & Cogger won't wait 3 years to get a spot, especially not Lamb having already played 20 games & would be starting to see himself as a first-grader. I'm all for signing Watson & Maloney, but if it happens, then we just have to accept that the 2 young ones will be wanting out.
