With our back row stock being slim, what’s everyone’s thoughts on bringing Jadyn Sua home? (Apologies if this has already been discussed)

If Su'a is available means he has gone to market and i think he will have too much $ thrown at him to make him worth it. He is a solid backrower but only at the right price imo. I thought he was really poor in the '24 Origin series as well so that might have poisoned my view on him i admit.
I'd rather save some $ and go for someone like Jermaine McEwen and trust Madge to get the best out of them.

I do wonder if Sua might get a tap on the shoulder.
He's been dargs best player this year and extended last year, but theyve got young gun forwards coming through everywhere and Sua is most effective playing 80 on the edge, so he's a potential roadblock to the young guys.
Luciano would be a more likely candidate to get the tap, but he doesnt need to play 80 to be effective... so you can fit young guys in around him.
I think Sua would thrive under Madge as I think it's his fitness that has stopped him from being a regular rep player... he plays 80 every week and has a high workload, but you can see he slows down at the backend.
Under a Madge preseason the aggressiveness he shows in the first 40mins would be consistently there over the full 80.
He runs good lines, is a good hitter and has a high workrate .... add elite fitness into that and you'd have a gun backrower.
Cost could definitely be an issue, but if he wanted to come back to qld we're basically the only option as dolphins have so many forwards they cant find room for them all and who wants to go to titans.

Meh.. not that bothered tbh. I think we are stronger with mariner in the centres, particularly defensively. Shiba switches off once or twice every game for a soft shoulder grab, even did it last year.
But if he does go I do think we keep ganderson (which I'd prefer), and we go to market for a journeyman outside backs to fill the gaps when injury strikes. If we lose anderson, shiba and hoeter we'd need to fill it with 2 journeymen whilst nio and p coates develop.

Agreed, Mariner was incredible at centre v Phins and Melbourne
