Should we sign Mead as a replacement for the retired Jack Reed??

Re: David Mead
If he is on depth money ... absolutely
if he is on similar coin to his Titans contract ... NO WAY

Re: David Mead
I'm not keen. Sure, he's a first grade proven commodity but I don't see him bringing that much value to our roster.
If he comes at a great lettuce, maybe. Gives us a wing option while our younger players mature in lower grades. I'd prefer we blood them sooner rather than later though.
Seems like a stop gap purchase which we're not exactly in need of.

Re: David Mead
Never heard this - gave me a giggle....
For me 100% yes. All signings depend on price of course, but I rate meady. Local lad, plenty of toe. Not a bad injury history. Go for gold as far as I am concerned.
He's got to be on the kind of coin where we don't mind him playing park footy if Pearson can push him out. But between injuries and origin, he'd play more games then he misses even if he is not in our first choice backline. That said, he would be for me.
Boyd
Oates
Kahu
Roberts
Mead
or
Boyd
Pearson
Kahu
Roberts
Mead
Looks good to me. (Didn't pay attention to what side wings/ centres' on there).

Re: David Mead
With us? **** yes if true. I really rate him (at the right price etc.)
Is well under-rated and always tries his best. Fast as too.

Re: David Mead
Hope Pearson still keeps his spot on the wing and gets to continue to develop. Mead is a great guy to have as a backup.

It's official.
Great to have him on board, he's only 27, and can easily be our first choice winger on the flanks, or a really, really solid backup.

Re: David Mead
Quality depth signing. I'd prefer for Opacic/Pearson etc to get first shot to continue to improve and show us what they have, but having Mead as a first-drop winger is nothing to sneeze at.

Re: David Mead
No way you leave a bloke like Mead out of the starting side, he's been on the fringes of Origin selection for a while. Really happy with this signing.

Re: David Mead
Pretty stoked with this signing. Still young enough, and skillful enough to be a valid option as a starter.

Re: David Mead
part of me wonders if this signing is a sign Bennett see's Oates future in the back row. maybe he has decided that the time is right for him to make the switch with Parker retiring.
I'm pretty happy with this signing myself. if he is just a depth option than he is far superior to our depth options for the majority of this season (Maranta and Eden).
we have a solid backline rotation for 2017 now with Boyd, Oates, Opacic, Roberts, Kahu, Pearson and Mead.
I would still like to see us sign an experienced prop to fill the role vacated by Wallace though

Wow, I really just thought it was paper talk!
Great signing. Welcome to the club, Meady!
Maranta leaves, Mead enters. Not a bad bit of business!
Some more exclamation marks!!!

Re: David Mead
In fact, looking at what Foordy posted above me there, we've basically replaced Eden and Maranta with Pearson and Mead.
Fucking quality, lads!

Good signing. Mead is a consistent player who always has a go and we've also got a good goal kicker which we have been missing this year. Be interesting to see what Bennett can do with him.
