The guy has been dropped etc, he might be hungry to make a point. The guy was one of the better props in the league a few years ago. Plus he prob comes pretty cheap. We need experienced forwards, thats what Matulino is. Newcastle need props badly.
Levi isnt horrible, he also isnt that good. Having a time share with ennis would help him immensely I reckon. Ennis was/is a quality player and a professional. I dont know why we are talking about it tho, it wont happen. I would 100% take someone like ennis at the moment if he wanted to come out of retirement. It would be an absolute no brainer.

I think because we are desperate for big props and BM and his manager know that, so they give lip service to say he's changed blah blah. I just don't want to spend overs on someone like BM.
I think Levi has the potential to be very good if we get the props rolling forward fast enough - that's our issue as you've already alluded to.
Ennis gives us a good year and a half if he joins.. out of retirement. For the money. Is that the message we want to be sending to our club and players?

Surely if you get the boardroom right, then they should be able to put the structure in place to get the right coach, and the opportunity to at least compete on the player market with other teams. Or is Townsville an anomoly at the moment and other teams with under say 500K people (Gold Coast, Woollongong etc)?
