the possible positions we may need to fill in the short to medium term

Hooker to replace KC - Scott Moore
7 to replace Longy - Eastmond/Smith depending on your opinion
Centres, possibly 2 - Lyon to replace gids in 2011 and one of lomax/wheeler/armstrong/dean to the other centre.
Prop to replace JC -one of Emmit/Yates/Frodsham are they big enough?
add to that Lomax who with wheeler and Kyle can play centre/standoff/fullback i dont see any major issues.
Possibly a 19st prop ala paul anderson who we still miss in the heavier conditions.

I seriously doubt that, but quite probable for 2011 as he is still contracted with Manly next year.

Dave Taylor (Brisbane)
Fuifui Moimoi (Parramatta)

They are all great but not worth the money they would demand IMO

Fa'aoso isn't. He's alright, but gives away far too many penalties.

Steve Price is a legend, but would he give up Aus, Origin & NZ Warriors for few seasons over here? Maybe for the right $$££.. He's the only one from above list that stands out

Fuifui and Dave Taylor are both young and not involved in representative rugby so they may be possibilities.
