    He's close, but not there yet.
    I wouldn't swap Collins for any other prop right now. He is getting close to his prime. Dude never quits and has genuine ticker.

      consequences of watching only Roosters matches for the past couple of seasons.
      Addin Fonua-Blake.

      Word is both Tigers & St Merge have tabled offers, and the Sharks are also keen.

      I'd be very surprised if we signed him. I think he'll command too high a price for us, which is a pity, because a 120kg wrecking ball is exactly what we need in the post-Jazz pack.

        I feel much the same way.

        I'd like to see another 1-2 years of it too.
        1985: 1 try vs Parramatta, 1 try vs Manly, 1 try vs Wests, 2 tries vs Souffs
        1986: 2 tries vs Illawarra, 1 try vs Balmain, 2 tries vs Norths.

          I wouldn’t swap him either, I just like the notion of adding AFB to our prop rotation for 2025 as replacement for JWH.

            AFB looks like he's been picked up by the Sharks. Apparently a 4 year deal. Don't know the $$

              “After parting ways with both Matt Moylan and Connor Tracey, the Sharks managed to free up close to $700k in cap space for 2024 and will be free to pay Fonua-Blake over a million dollars per season when he joins in 2025

              The Dragons had tabled a four-year, $4.4 million offer to the Dally M Prop of the year and looked set to send Jaydn Su’A the other way.

              Fonua-Blake has reportedly signed a deal worth $400 to $500k less with the Sharks as he believes the side can win a premiership in the next four years.”

              strange, it says he has signed a deal worth $400-500k less than the dragons offer of $1.1million per year, but sharks will be able to table him an offer of over $1million per year?

                Imagine the outcry if we signed him for $400-500k less than what another club had offered him!

                    Saints are really struggling to attract players.

                      If Sharks can sign another 5 decent forwards they may be a threat.
