    He's been discussed on a thread or two here. I don't think he would be much more than a depth player for us but at 194cm and a fair bit of experience I can understand why we might want to have a talk to his manager.

    He would need to come cheap though.

      I know we have discussed him previously, but I thought now that its official, we may want to have a fresh look.

        I think in all seriousness we can only have one of Hall or Staker. Like Sydney choosing Lockett over Craven (Knowing Craven would leave, which he did). I think we know what the right decision is here. It's not Staker for mine.

          It would be very interesting if we got both! What are the chances of the two partnering up for boxing sessions in the pre-season

            Not interested, he may have height but he doesn't play KP.

              He would be a ready replacement for Cam Wight!

                    Bit of a Ben Harrisson type for mine . In between kpp and flanker type,very laconic also.

                      Cool. It would be worth getting him just to watch TwoDogs reaction on match days.

                        That's my take, he's a bit like Everitt in that he doesn't have the physical presence to be a KPP. If Everitt is fringe, Staker is probably behind him. He apparently told Woosha that he wants to play midfield anyway.

                          Not exactly what we need, but depending on the price could be a handy addition

                            What others have said, we have Everitt who has a bigger upsize than Staker imo, not really what we need, i could see him at Sydney with them losing tall forwards, he could work in well along side Jesse White.
