Also ruled out any of the recently released Parra players

Interesting that the noises regarding recruitment are that we possibly looking at 2 new players for next year. Hoping to announce one in the next couple of weeks.
This could mean that the 2nd potential target being worked on is a contracted player whose team are still involved in the play off picture either in Superleague or the NRL. For off contract there would seem to be no reason to delay as we know who's being released and presumably how much cap space is available and which players are off contract are available.

Didn’t we want to announce one before season end?

Matt Lodge from Manly has also been offered to SL clubs

Is he still paying off his legal debts?

Lodge had a bad ACL injury a while ago. He's only 29, which surprised me, but he hasn't been a force for some time - a bit Keith Galloway style for me, overtaken by younger, more dynamic props.

The video of him in the incident in NY was horrific. He may be a reformed character but signing him wouldn't sit well to me. I'd also question whether he'd get a visa, although the charges were downgraded on the basis he pay compensation to the victims (not sure he really did).

Never expected him tbh, way out of reach

Do you mean for the Rhinos? Pangai Jr is a bigger name but he's coming to SL I think its a numbers game tbh.

Actually, Reagan Campbell-Gilliard is a bigger name

We need a 2002 style Cull 7-8 players need showing the door. Otherwise Arthur may as well just go home now, 2-3 new signings ain’t going to cut it.

Yep agree. Rohan and Gary made a right mess of recruitment and it’s going to take some time to get it right
