If there is two.

We haven't used the marquee allowance for either player

Wouldn't of thought Fonua was a marquee signing ?
He went home because he and his family couldn't settle.
What's changed ????

He said ""I have always had ambitions to return to the NRL at some stage, but the timing now is important for my family and for us to be back closer to home", nothing about being unsettled.

I know they were expecting a new baby, perhaps that was partly the reason for their wanting to return home at the time. Anyway it will be great to see Mahe back, we have some really good exciting players coming in, Radders will have to get it right next year.

I wouldn't have thought so either, hasn't Pearson said we were using the marquee this year though, couldn't see any player other than Ma'u getting it

Think we still need a prop or two, we seem overloaded in the backs and if anything have struggled up the middle, one or two injuries and we look rather thin on the ground

That gives us

Taylor
Satae
Bowden
Matongo
Fash
Ellis
