Would you want a star NRL player to join Richmond?

[one-eyed]

Talk of Inglis seriously considering defecting to a Victorian AFL club as he wants to stay in Melbourne and in talks with Essendon. His salary would presumably be counted outside the cap if he is given a similar deal to Hunt and Folau.

If a Inglis, Slater or Haynes considered joining Richmond would you want one of them at Punt Rd or do you think these code-converts are just a disruption and won't make it?

I believe we need to find a key backman, can someone like Inglis become a CHB? Can we afford it? There has to be a specific need and the money has to be their as well.

Slater

[TigerTimeII]

only slater

[Ramps]

isnt he in his late 20s

[julzqld]

 Issy looks like he could take a screamer with three blokes still hanging off of him to be honest lol.  Teach the man how to kick, get him to do some endurance work, chuck him up forward and pop it up for him.

Slater

He's a pretty crappy kick of the ball. Think he'd be just 1 of 1000's of midsized players not good enough for afl

[mat073]

Big Fat No.

If you are looking at other codes I still think Gaelic footballers would have a better success rate.

Given we have a massive amount of room in the cap I'd be happy throw 4-500k per year at Greg Inglis, the guy is a freak and can kick the SHERRIN a mile accurately too. Just look at the footage of him threading through a goal from 50m out on the boundary, it went through straight as a die and about post high then cleared the boundary by about 20m.

Also it won't get counted towards the cap. The AFL may offer some money for him to do promitional work in NSW but given we aren't a developing market it won't be as much.

At the end of the day, it all depends on what the NRL decide to do about the Storm. If they dismantle the side he will come to AFL.

A highly paid rookie is not the right fit for the RFC at this point in time.

I would like to see him have a go at Aussie Rules though.

yeh,only slater.
could be an in and under type.

[the_boy_jake]

Either Inglis or Slater would do. Both are much more suitable than either Folau or Hunt.

Lockyer has a great kicking technique for AFL and would have been a super pick up 6 or 8 years ago.

Bah chuck some stuffing great Union front Rower in the midfield, teach him how to bounce and run with some endurance and no bastard would be able tackle him.  They are always kicking for touch so they do these messed up hook kicks, so we could using em in the forward pockets to kick bananas at goal as well.  It's a shame the Brick with eyes is too old to play, good in an under midfielder LOL
