According to the article, he could make his decision today even though he has until October 30th.


"The decision will probably be after the combine. [I'll] speak to dad, speak to Maxy [manager Mark Kleiman], and I'll come to something after the combine.

"[I'm] not leaning one way or another. Either of them I'm fine with."

Can someone correct me in hoping we don't take Rice for a pick in the late teens or twenties?

Reckon trading those picks will get us a better result.
Rice should be tacken in the mid to late 20's. He's an elite kick, good size and a real weapon off half back.

Definitely worth a second rounder and we get a 20% discount on him. Elite kick. Big body. Warming to him.

He's tough and neat but can't help seeing meat & potatoes here.

I wouldn't puff my chest out for a win, in paying too much for him.

I think with discounts we should be able go 3rd rounder for Rice
4th for SOS.

This is why getting some steak knives picks in trade deals gives us some leverage.

Also if we run out of points this year we can downgrade picks (in the rounds that we match, next year)

Pretty sure

Aren't you asking what too much is though?

Doubt anybody is bidding a 1st rounder so it will be a 2nd we get in a trade or a 3rd.

Around the mid 20's is what seems to be the case and in particular where we'd be trying to win him over from The Saints......which I don't think we are.

If another team calls him out there (for the fun of it) we have to come over the top to secure ourselves another HBF'er.

Sounds like a Steven Browne type player to me. Which does not inspire.
Not a bad comparison but one may also say a bit like Nick Vlastuin and maybe a bit of Docherty in the mix.

I'd still sooner take our chances elsewhere than to have another player on the list, that may only be vying for a position we're catered for.

That would mean first bid on Rice at around pick 30, and SOS around pick 43. I think both bids will be a shade higher.
