Think he is a player who would make a big difference to the team A match winner

Good as he is I'm happy to put faith in the team we originally intended.

Re: Rumours thread : Mon Jan 20, 2025 11:58 am  

Much as he is quality he has said he wants to go back to NRL so not much point delaying development of current centres. I think Powell is looking at props. Having a quota space spare I think taking the easy option is looking at Salford and my view is as NRL season starts sometimes a big name that would make a big impact becomes available so maybe keeping an option open is a good idea. I think he also lacks the loyalty of a Powell signing.

I still think a top class hooker needs to be on our radar. Hood is possibly at his peak and we need to replace in a year or two. I think Doyle will be quality and Smith could be class but I think we have a gap between Smith been 100% ready and Hood moving/retiring. Just an opinion.

I agree at hooker. Not an issue this season but it will be next time.
I'm sure Ste will be doing his spreadsheet thing on potential players already

Another point is we aren't just building for now we are looking at 2026, so some of the players Powell and Mills have highlighted will need to be considered when bringing people in, so say we get NM and he wants a 2 year deal this may mean we can't sign a current target for 2026.

Re: Rumours thread : Mon Jan 20, 2025 6:50 pm  

Yeah, agree with what's been said. He'd have no doubt added to the team for a year or 2 but then again why not put faith in the centres we've already got from Pratt, Rourke, Hall, Croft, and Cam Scott? He''d have been stopping their game time.
