Agree on Tchamambe. Kershaw is a good solid worker especially in yardage but I don’t know if I’d play him over some of the other young players mentioned.

Walmsleys try scoring record is really good, but Ritson has a similar history and hasn’t set the world on fire at saints. Walmsley would be quota too right?

Valid point he would be quota.

Brad Parker doing the rounds again probably be good mentor for Newman a Jackle and Hyde combo if you like.

Parker strikes me as a steady-eddie. Decent enough player with decent experience, but not much excitement in it... Depends on who we get in at 7, but would hope for someone with a bit more strike.

That's about right. But much better than Brenko Lee, and as a last-minute signing he'd be about as good as we can expect. That's if it happens of course...

Parker would be a great signing. We need some experienced seasoned players with the right attitude on and off the pitch. Only 26, regular NRL player and would be great to mentor Newman. He might not have Newman's flair but at the moment he'd probably bring more to the side than Newman (which shouldn't be the case with Newman's ability).

Sounds too good for us

Parker would be an excellent signing. A good, solid player with bags of NRL experience, he'd offer stability, availability and reliability where we've missed it far too often.

If he was great in D and can pass I’m all for it

Brad Parker is a pretty tough durable player that has a pretty good injury record and he has played in the majority of Manly's games in recent seasons,
He's certainly no try scoring machine in the NRL,but could score plenty in SL

I've liked the look of centre Oli Pratt when i've seen him play for York this season.
As he is contracted to Wakefield perhaps clubs could be looking at him now that they have been relegated?
Some club will certainly snap him up if he isn't contracted there for 2024

I believe he’s moving back to York permanently due to the commute at a young age. No doubt we will see him again.

Have heard that Leeds are looking at Harvey Smith, who I believe is Cameron Smiths younger brother. Plays at hooker and meant to be very highly rated.

Nothing done on Sam Eseh yet by the way, a number of SL clubs including Leeds have put in offers.
