It's clear the draft is very shallow this year and Port obviously have very limited interest in heading to it for any top ups. Recycling players even for if only a year as depth is the best way to go and have a red hot crack in 2018, and then attack the 2018 draft and replace those who have served a purpose.

Kangas pay Thomas to play for us or we take a kid at pick 58 for two years.

I'll take the kid.

To be fair, I think Thomas > Eddy - and he was the insurance for the Port forward line this year.. it's still an upgrade.

Thomas also provides coverage for Motlop should he get injured, and I reckon i'd prefer Thomas over Neade.

Would Kangas paying most his salary work out cheaper for Port than picking up a rookie, or about the same?

National draft picks have to be given a minimum two year deal, that's the difference here.

Looking over the Port list, like it or not they probably need an extra experienced player capable of being a back up.

Have lost

Monfries - 211 games experience
White - 153 games experience
Trengove - 153 games experience
Lobbe - 92 games experience
Krakouer - 82 games experience
Young - 76 games experience
Impey - 75 games experience
Toumpas - 37 games experience
Ah Chee - 27 games experience
Eddy - 3 games
Palmer - 3 games

Once you get through the more experienced players on the list, there really isn't a lot of ready-to-go depth around at the moment.

I added Austin into your list.

The are of depth that worries me is KPP with the 4 I've put in bold above. two blokes who can ruck ( Trengove and Lobbe ), two who can play key backs ( Trengove and Austin ) and two who can play forward ( Trengove and Eddy. ).

People on here complain about Eddy’s lack of defensive pressure, you think Thomas will offer more?
No chance.

Waste of a rookie spot giving it to him.
