Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3259810, member: 9052"] Wish him all the best really. Happy we aren't overpaying for a winger, but he'll go to a club that will develop him into a very good player. He's only signed for 2yr and storm don't overpay for outside backs so likely he comes back on the market for 2024 and we may be able to go back in. I think he looks more like Folau than GI... so I think he becomes a really good outside back in the future, but probably limited to center or wing for his career. He'll be a luxury buy to finish off a team wherever he ends up, but not really what we need just now. I've felt for awhile that we basically had to make a decision between Staggs, Coates and Niu, but more so between Staggs and Coates, as Niu has fallen out of favour a little. I think Staggs was the right choice though.. he's already a gun outside back and will be our strike weapon moving forward. Along with TPJ if we can extend his contract. I think Coates is a little further away from being a legitimate strike weapon and needs a little more from the inside men to be brought into the game compared to Staggs who can create his own space once given the ball. Niu could become a fullback, but needs more time in ISC... maybe we go with a 1-2 year extension at a lowish deal to let him develop and see where we get to with him. He could also develop into center or wing depth (a lot of small wingers in the comp nowadays). On the wing he could become our version of To'o (likes to get on the ball, fast, strong, tackle breaker, etc.), but it would all come down to his ability under the high ball against those big opposing wingers. Trying to keep Staggs and Coates would be too much investment when trying to revamp our spine and probably costs us Herbie in the future as well. [/QUOTE]
