No I don’t think he would come, why would he? He could get a game in the NRL if he was available. Second I think I am right to say he is contracted to 2025. So why would they let him leave? He was very well thought of with completion to sign him and has looked decent when he has played.

Of all the players who have come up, it's the one with the least experience I would like. I've watched a couple of his NSW Cup games, as well as his NRL games and Volkman at the Warriors has all the hall marks of a world class 7 in my opinion. Unfortunately for him he's blocked by a genius in Johnson. If I were GH and Smith I'd gamble and offer him a generous contract. He'd probably only stay a couple of years but I think he'd be a SS legend. Ronnie The Rhino 2.

He wouldn't qualify for a visa.

Frawley will be playing 7. People need to stop thinking we will be getting another 7. We will be after a 6 or may play myler at 6 and go after a back up half like Milnes. Quota will be used on a forward.

Why are people still obsessed with who's 6 and who's 7? Theyre both half back positions and between them need a skill set that complement eachother. Forget the numbers, we need another that complements the qualities of Frawley, namely a player with more of a running presence, ie myler and sinfield aren't that player.

That assumes you play them as a pair, whereas Leeds typically play a half on either side of the pitch and therefore they both have to be more 7 than 6.

He would. He's already played for Samoa. Anyway I agree it's unlikely, but I don't think impossible. A) It's already been rumored he could be available B) He meets the criteria GH set forth as a player who might contracted, but is on the list beyond the list, as he put it C) Leeds can probably offer him substantial rise in wages given that he's 21 and just barely a top 30 player D) A certain Richard Agar is on the coaching staff at the Warriors. I don’t think he and GH fell out over his departure. That might provide an edge in negotiations.
Anyway, the question was - who would you like, and I answered it. For what it's worth I suspect we've been in negotiation with our intended targets for some time, but would be desperate to keep it quiet. A number of SL clubs shopping in the same market and we wouldn't want to be gazumped.
