Next two new signings ? : Mon Oct 10, 2022 7:59 pm  

We have e very young looking squad which is pleasing, however, our pack has a look of ability but we desperately need 2 big hard mobile
Forwards who can not only cope with strong opposition packs but can break & control the opposition - form a platform of going forward & thus lead our young forwards of what is needed & how to do it !
We need to be able to last 80 minutes & step up the pace/intensity when needed.
Currently our pack looks weak against the top 6 or 8 teams which looks ominous for the bottom four again, but if we play as a team & not many injuries we could make the play offs !

Thought you were sharing some insider information from the title…:)

Agree we do need suitable replacements for Fifita and Arona

Yeah, I agree, I just hope we get the right players !

If either or both Franklin pele 6’3 ,19 stone sharks player or Sam lisone 6’ and 17 stone who have both been linked with us recently comes to fruition we should be ok for fire power up front , not to mention players on our doorstep for the World Cup who fancy a stint over super league ,I’m more than confident we’ll have a respectable squad by the time we kick off in around 3/4 months time .

Agree re two props
We need a hooker that can run a game too especially If we’re gonna have the young lad From fev start for us in the half’s

I'd be interested to see how Brandon Wakeham goes in the World Cup, he's at home, playing 6,7 or 9.

We do have 3 quota spots available at this stage.

Pele looks a good shout, but we'd probably struggle with visa, due to lack of games

TBF I only think Franklin has been linked on here unless you’ve seen something else?

Pele was fan speculation… he’s pretty hot property here and I can’t see him moving from the NRL

Lisone has been linked report stated we were in talks I thought Pele was pure speculation.

Ellis longstaff apparently made available for loan. Would be a good replacement for batch and probably a part of his wages paid aswell imo
