Sam Hayes

Post: # 1923536Post footynut »

Sam Hayes was a highly regarded Ruck during his draft year but has yet to debut due to ports strength in the ruck. Could he be a target to replace Ryder?
Should only cost 3rd or 4th rounder

Join the queue to get him out of there, a lot of clubs have shown interest, sooner or later Port are going to have to either play him or let him go.

Is he any good, he can't get a game when Lycett or Ladhams are injured, he's now 22yo so he should be banging the door down.


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Let's not forget that we picked up Max Heath in the mid season draft - I'm sure he'll be groomed to take Paddy's spot

How did Max Heath go this year?


Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

He is just a boy, but killing it at 18 year level. Too good for his opponents, and does what he likes.

Heath is a ruck for Xavier College in the APS schoolboy competition.

Regardless, the history with rucks is that unless they are utter freaks, they’re long term propositions.

No matter how good Heath goes on to be, it seems highly unlikely that he’ll be ready to play AFL primarily as a ruck in any sustained capacity for at least 2-3 years minimum

You still need an additional option

Only problem you have with Sam Hayes is that he has 2 years left on his contract so it'll cost something to do a trade with Port to get him to Linton Street - I'd rather stick with Max Heath, who I am confident will explode on the scene in 2022, and maybe go for someone like Casboult (31) at minimal cost to back up Paddy and Roma.

Why wouldn’t we consider Chol for nothing?

198cm athletic tall

Can go forward, can ruck.

How come he never nominated for the draft?

If we want Chol we'll have to compete with the Bombers for his services, according to the ever reliable media.

Frankly I have no idea. Maybe because there was not much junior footy played last year.

Someone should show him a video of today's 1st semi final

The druggies were pathetic. Losers.

Max Heath did nominate for the 2020 draft but was overlooked due to no exposed form because of Dan's Lockdowns.
