The 2 stand out halves out of contract are Hawkins and Clifford, whether any of those are realistic, especially Clifford who's expecting another child so can't see him coming back. But with the NRL merry go round someone left field may become available at seasons end.
NRL clubs are often willing to release players especially to SL clubs back end of the year when they’re trying to juggle final signings and need some salary cap space. It’s how we signed Clifford originally he still had a year to go at Newcastle, seem to remember it being around November time.
Out of the two off contract Clifford would be a no brainer from our side but even Hawkins should have the pedigree to go well in SL. As said though I’m sure a few others will become available when the salary cap squeeze hits. I’m not sure the Sullivan deal is fully dead, depends on how willing he is to dig his heels in where he’s clearly not wanted.
