Thanks @ Smokin Joe
Hunt going nowhere
Didn't we sign him months ago?
Yeah not going no where for 2017.
Napa for 2017 - Possible
Napa for 2018 - Probable
What's this mean. He has to get a release?
We have to release someone?
And here I was thinking Benji was signed for that very same purpose.
To be realistic, Napa becoming a Bronco in 2017 is not possible, him ever being a Bronco is long odds indeed.Though often is a player has signed with a team a year in advance, the club will just let him go because the player won't be 100% dedicated to the side. Joseph tapine signed a year early n got a release because of it, so maybe the same thing can happen with Napa
How is it not possible? Everything's possible with player transfers.To be realistic, Napa becoming a Bronco in 2017 is not possible, him ever being a Bronco is long odds indeed.
Because the Roosters are going to ensure that their future rep prop is going to get the money he is searching for. Napa will prefer to stay in a setup that he is familiar with rather than the pressure cooker that is the Brisbane Broncos. I could be wrong of course but I am not anticipating Napa donning the Bronco colours any time soon.How is it not possible? Everything's possible with player transfers.
@Smoking Joe has said it's pretty likely for him to sign with us, he has good sources so I'll definitely take his word.Because the Roosters are going to ensure that their future rep prop is going to get the money he is searching for.

Roosters could be freeing up money for Barba.
This is not just about you or me, besides there's a difference between being serial losers and winning at all costs.I disagree. I would take no pride in being a sportsman that was on the end of losses every week. If you would, more power to you.
Who said they'd be renegades? :) I just said i'd sign a convicted criminal if it made the team better. The natural assumption is that he would be a team player, otherwise it's safe to assume the team won't improve overall.
Committing serious offenses doesn't stop people from becoming rich and famous anyway, so why should this apply only to sport? /can of worms
I say this sincerely - if you want to put moral weight into a game with a bunch of guys who've in a bubble for most of their lives and get paid more than any of us to run around with a ball because they're more physically gifted than the rest of us, more power to you. I don't care. I don't consider them role models, I don't care who or what they are in their time away from the field, I support them because I like who they are on the field. If the NRL registers them, I don't give a shit what they did previously. Sport to me is a hobby, something to pass time, it doesn't reflect my opinions or my personality, it's just something to do. Like me shooting someone in the head online - something to do, nothing more nothing less.
Being "proud of your team" IMO (in the event they are serial losers), is the catcall of someone who's ok accepting failure. It's the whole the winner ***** the prom queen and the losers cry about doing their best/community pride mentality.

His family is here and they're a tight-knot group. Comfort will not be a problem. I have asked my brother's GF 3 times now to ask about Napa coming here. They won't tell her anything, and she's family. Make of that what you will.
