Ladhams or Soldo who should we recruit
I was just wondering which of the 2 in Ladhams or Soldo would be better for the Saints.
Ladhams is 26-27 in January 2025 204cm and played 53 games 27 goals but below average in every category.
He has 1 year left on his contract and cant get games due to Grundy and Mclean doing the rucking
And with Dalrymple now at the club from Sydney this deal hopefully should be done pretty easily as we work well with Sydney without much coast to the Saints
Slodo is 28- 29 in April 2025 204cm played 65 games 28 goals he is Average in 3 of the 6 category's and Above average in 1.
A deal for Soldo could be difficult as Port gave up a lot to get him and might want a lot back.
He has also played in a Premiership with Richmond so has that experience.
He still has 1 year on his contract.
He does get injured quite a lot so that is something we need to take into consideration.
The saints need to work out who would be the best fit for us and who would we likely get at the cheapest price.

Re: Ladhams or Soldo who should we recruit
The report from the Murdoch tabloid rag suggests we are chasing Soldo...and seemingly ...he has his mind on things 'outside' of footy.

Is it just me being old, or does anyone else not like that fake lip, boob, face look?Scollop wrote: ↑Fri 27 Sep 2024 4:10pm The report from the Murdoch tabloid rag suggests we are chasing Soldo...and seemingly ...he has his mind on things 'outside' of footy.

I'm not saying she doesn't look good, It is just not a look I find attractive.
From the article it looks like she's gone from flying Soldo to flying Solo after living in Adelaide for a year!
There's only one rule in the jungle! When the LYON's hungry, he eats!

I agree. The last thing the Saints need is more bog average reject footballers.

I agree with you. That fake look is just that...fake.

Both bog average
Wouldn’t give a cup full of cold water for either

So Heath is better ? Or the Caminti / Owen’s option works ?
I think there are better qualified people to make that call.
Go back and watch the game against Brisbane and/ or first half against Cats to see why we might need another option to help out in the ruck. We all know Marshall is our first option and brilliant around the ground ..but his tap work in the centre is questionable.. same time he gets injured and we are screwed !

I think we are screwed, whoever we get.
1 for 27 backs me up.

The list changes for 2025 have begun, always an interesting time for an avid supporter.

Re: Ladhams or Soldo who should we recruit
If it was or the other I would go Saddam's as he would cost virtually nothing. Where as Port are going to want to recoup some of their losses on Soldo. I don't really want either I would have preferred to keep Campbell as backup ruck.
It seems though that Ross has a plan to play both Soldo and Roma as otherwise paying for a pure backup player when you already have one makes no sense.
