Message: [QUOTE="GCBRONCO, post: 2160849, member: 1808"] What bidding war? so you think that the Storm won't be the slightest bit keen to retain Smith? He won't consider going overseas either? So he says he wants to come back to SEQLD doesn't automatically mean he will or even wants to and could just be a ploy to up the ante with the Storm to get more out of them, wouldn't be the first time a player has done that. As far as making a bid only if a serious one can be made otherwise theres no point and I can't see one being made that isn't in the deep end, hardly a position we are in to be able to afford(hell you might not have noticed but we have been struggling to retain players as it is) nor can afford to be in when we have issues like the frontrow need addressing (and Smith won't solve that) and the need to ensure that the squad as a whole doesn't suffer. Your limiting your scope to just one player, I think you need to look at what the squad needs both shortterm and the longterm and we have players that we need to be able to retain now and players in the lowergrades that will be coming through. Everyone was up in arms about losing Kemp for example, what happens if Yow Yeh turns out to be a quality winger as well and because we went all out for Smith we aren't in a position to retain Yow Yeh? Yow Yeh isn't the only player we need to be in a position to retain in the coming years, we aren't going to be able to rely on Lockyer forever and while you might argue Cameron Smith would help there the loss of Lockyer will still be huge and we need to ensure that across the board we have the depth and quality to deal with it. Would he be a quality addition to the side? I don't doubt that Hammo, its the cost that worries me, especially when we have already paid a high price as it is to retain what we got for next season.
