I think Berrigan is nowhere near the player he used to be, but I think Tate is still quite good, even if getting on a little. He was brilliant in last years SOO series. Should have been MOTM in one of them from memory. Tate is one of those players who gives his all on the field, something a few of the current broncos could learn a thing or two about.
Still, I'm not sure signing him in a years time would be a good idea.
when tate retires he should still stay contracted just so he can play origin. i dont think there has ever been a player who will without fail lift and play to his absolute best in origin as much as tate. he has been consistently one of QLDs best players, even if hes in steve michaels form at club level.
We don't really want Reed as our centre next year. Hopefully Copley gets that gig and we have found some decent wingers. Reeds long term future will be off the bench IMO.
I'd like to see Copley as our centre too. But Reed is definitely FG standard. He's even pretty good. He just needs to lose the weight and get back to passing the ball. $250K is a steal with this new salary cap.
