GH came out post Thursday and said nobody would be signed. I don' t know how far ward, ferres and JJB are from being fit but it was blindingly clear on Thursday that Walters and keinhorst cannot play long minutes in the back row. I like keinhorst as a player and at centre and he worked very hard but is not a proper second row.

Agreed, he's not a seoond rower. At best, he can perhaps fill in there for occasional spells when required but not the whole game.

Tried his guts out on Thursday in the second row (one of the few players whose attitude on the night could not be called into question) yet, according to the match stats, he clocked up no less than 9 missed tackles.

Agree. He put a real shift in middle of park, but Leeds were outpowered as well as everything else. I thought Moon stood up as well. The bit that worries me the most is I think the effort was there. Some were poor but were trying. Some look very low on confidence.

New half back : Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:26 pm  

We desperately need a new half back, and the days of snaring first team NRL players are over. Could this be the solution? If not who else could we realistically sign (half back) for 2018? http://www.seriousaboutrl.com/kyle-east ... ague-5017/

Re: New half back : Wed Mar 08, 2017 9:08 pm  

Completely the wrong type of player we are looking for.Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole and he spends half is time on the treatment table. I'm sure we will be linked though

If he could stay fit he'd be a fantastic signing for us and England, but the guy seems to be made from riveta.

What are people's thoughts on Kane elegy? He's off contract at the end of the year, shouldn't really cost too much as he's not had much of a go at the Gold Coast as of yet. Maybe worth a shot as he's one of very few half backs available.

He's not off contract until 2018. NRL halves OOC at the start of 2017:

No chance of landing Elgey, lad has great potential, had some bad look with injury last year. I expect Titans to use him and Ash Taylor as their halfbacks for years to come. Fingers crossed Taylor keeps developing looked class last year.

Cornish could be a possibility, looked ok in Auckland Nines. I'd have had Tyrone Roberts last year but now Elgey is back fit he's become a utility player covering at halfback and hooker when Peats is injured. Think he'd be good in super league

Who'd be realistic from that list?
