Tet confirmed he’s going on his socials.

Hopefully that means the club are in a space to announce a replacement or another overseas player.

Crawley will take us round the pitch ,slow and plodding but will do a job , Miller is quick full back nothing else , now we need and unpredictable stand-off someone who get me of my seat not bored wondering why I keep renewing my season ticket ( around 30 years man and old man ! )

Not sure you watch much NRL but Frawley is a 6 and not a 7. Miller is very quick and also elusive. Has a ridiculous amount of tackle breaks per game and I reckon will be unreal in SL. Here's hoping.
Anyway Aussie media saying we are talking to Dolphins centre Brenko Lee

I expect we'll sign Ben Nakubuwai who is OOC at Leigh and has played with Smith at the Devils.

Brenko lee is another with a poor injury record, he's constantly been plagued by injury.

Fusitua, Lee, Newman would be talented, but history would suggest getting all 3 on the field at the same time would be a challenge in itself

My comment about Miller was meant to mean that he is no standoff, I also think he could be great , wouldn’t get another centre .Lee is solid when he plays but doesn’t play or that much , maybe it’s a swap with Nene plus money ?

Which halfback would you sign?

Schneider would be a start. But aiming for Croft with Salfords money issues, Cust would also be better than Frawley, blooding Sinfield wouldn’t be a bad shout. Nikorima, Milford, Sam Walker, that’s just to name a few. But yet we go for someone who has already flopped and we’re linked with another flop from Warrington. Cheap option activated again. Woeful.

‘There will be opportunities for him to play half’

That does not say he will be first choice half as you stated.

Just like he never said Handley was his long term full back as you stated.

Handley is awful at Fullback!

Lee's a big lad, with some really good skill, he is someone i would call a wingers centre, not as quick as Nene but probably a better all round centre, when fit.

But i would have huge concerns about his injury record, and his constant moving of clubs, bounces from club to club like they're going out of fashion, not a great combo considering our recent history of players not seeing out contracts

Who is the flop from Warrington?
