I had a look at Josh Kerrs stats and I have to say that at 25 or close he would seem to be a better proposition than a couple of old has beens and Graham didn't have a bigger fan than me but his clock has been ticking for a long time now.
Everything depends on money.
Josh Kerr has had great games in the Indigenous All Stars v Maori All Stars. Never really seem to have had. long go at St George. But unit with big skills.
Let’s face it we are either after pension top up players or young ones worth a punt on...or you get ones with “history”. Some check out, some don’t...
Some NRL fringe players, if scouted correctly, could do a great job. He’s a team of “just out the current 17” players who could do a really good job in SL. Most, not all, are mid 20s or younger...
1 Matt Dufty St George
2 Keirod Holland Canterbury
3 Paul Momrovski Melbourne
4 Tauta Moga Newcastle
5 Ryan Hall Roosters
6 Lachlan Lam Roosters
7 Troy Dargan Souths
8 Jarrod Wallace Titans
9 Chris Randall Newcastle
10 Josh Kerr St George
11 Jack Gosiewski Manly
12 Michael Chee Kam Wests
13 Corey Jensen Cowboys
Unless an NRL player is very much on the fringe of a squad,getting to the end of their career,is unwanted by a club or is in a bit of trouble we are not going to get top class from there. Just to match the minimum wage of a player in a 30 man nrl squad would cost roughly £57,000. If any of those players listed are playing on 12 or more games a year then the chances of us picking any of them up are slim.
I've heard that Ryan Hall is a decent prospect
Bateman mulling over return to SL. $3.5m dollars.
The irony is that the best chance we have of getting NRL players in their peak years is simply bringing back the English lads that get homesick or don’t make the grade. They earn the equivalent of 5-6 years here by doing 2 years in the NRL and then come back. Any top Australian born player that is at Origin level is out of the question, even if they play for clubs that aren’t competing.
Graham is passed it according to:

Tamou starting for Penrith at 9am on SKY for anyone wanting a look at him.
NEVER WRITE OFF THE SAINTS
Just looking at Tamou's stats for his career and he would be a very good addition to the team
