If hes in shape get him , weve got troubles up forward one big fella gets jumped all over and when he gets a set shot oh dear it gets butchered, the other big fella doesnt like being in the forward line hed rather be a ruckman (i was told by an x ruck coach). A fit FEVOLA will bag 60 plus take the chance now .
Now you can bag the s*** out of me fellow sainters go for it

I hope we can find some new sponsors and drop centrebet. Don't know about the rest of you members, but i am not that happy with them as a main sponsor.

I would like us to leave a rookie spot for him until March. The same as Hawks did with Travis Tuck this year.
Offer 1 year minimum wage contract,with 1 chance only (Made very public). Then trains with us from December till March. If he doesn't slip up, worth a shot IMO.
I think this would leave a big window of time to gauge sponsors, supporters, etc.
This is provided we are reloading for another premiership tilt in the next Two years.
I might be against the grain here but a 1 year contract for peanuts with strict guidelines for public/personal conduct with an instant get out clause ( the club seems to be good with that) maybe.... just maybe we could snatch a flag and free up roo a little?
can't believe supporters wouldn't want fev in their side - we're in the business of winning premierships, not pleasing sponsors. if he slips up we cut him, no harm no foul.. one of the most talented footballers i've seen, could flourish with a third chance. we got torched by taking lovett and NOT cousins.. nothing to lose IMHO
Pick him up for training purposes only. Get him to do a full preseason playing on Kosi one on one as a Full Back so he can get Kosi into form. Ala Fraser 2004 where he played on Fraser for a quarter and had 5 kicked on him!
"It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress."
No matter how good his footy smarts may be, the Club are paranoid about potentially more bad media and will not take the risk for fear of more Sponsors walking away.
If they pick up Fev it will be because they believe we are still going for it. That will be a good sign in my opinion. I don't care either way and back Pelchen's ability to make the big calls to improve a list. When he got Burgoyne I thought he was too old, Gibson too short, Hale was always missing but all have been inspired choices and better than Peake, Polo and Gamble who have all been introduced onto our list in the same period. I'm not saying those guys are bad just comparitively not as good.
