Clearly he’s no jackpot,and he’s on the lower end of the pay scale.
But why are we fishing in those waters?
We can punt on plenty of locals.
By all means get a saffer, but pay the top odds and get a good one, not a squad filler.

How would you have felt in 2014 if you got Jean Cook instead of Jacques Potgieter?
Signing other players was part of the reason you let Adam Coleman go to the Force in 2014. I know it's hard to trade on potential, but gamble on players you'd be proud to see succeed.

We've got rid of foreign marquees.

They were also looking at Emmanuel Meafou so I guess there is interest in the massive unit but there aren't exactly a lot of choices and they are all works in progress.

Part of the reason why Cheika was so succesful was that he came into a squad and effectively identified what it was missing and did what he needed to, to fill the gaps. Hence Jackpot, Giteau etc.

I think it's a lot harder than people realise.

I don't know why people are connecting Roets to Jackpot. Jackpot was awesome. With him in the starting side, the Tahs won a premiership and got to the semis the following year. And he kept Skelton on the bench all season. I support every attempt from the Tahs to sign someone as good as Jackpot.

Emmanual Meafou was a big missed opportunity, he is now at Toulouse after playing for Warringah and NSW Country Eagles. Would rather have had him (an Australian) on the roster this year instead of Roets.

I get why Meafou wasn't signed. He was big, but he was largely a bench player for the Rats. He had a crack in the NRC but didn't really blow anybody away.

Frost is back from NZ and has been drafted into Aus U20 to go to Argentina. Haven't seen him play in over 2 years. Certainly is Tall timber, but wouldn't have have the frame of Roets.

Might be an option, see how he goes at U20.

Max Douglas is another very young and raw they should watch. I believe he has been playing grade in Manly (possibly displacing Roets to the bench)

Jeez what do they do here?

Have another player sacked within a week or keep him and cop flack for Folau comparisons?
