Jesse arthars is available any one interested?

Absolutely *cue on condition of right price* especially with Dallin ageing and Roger leaving.

We are getting two tradesmen for our edges in Anderson and Warbrick, Jesse Arthars on top of that would bring the competition that these types need to keep them honest eh.

And he has some utility on the edge.

But then I wonder why the Broncos never put Arthars forward when they gave us Anderson, or why the Warriors never pushed the Arthars barrow (the Broncos would have known about their cap situation at that time).

Bottom line, we have intense competition for spots in the forwards and no real threats to the outside back incumbents, there is an imbalance there.

Also if you buy two tradesmen, then you are relying on form and consistency, when those fail, a tradesman is a horrible hinderance to a campaign.
