It would be ridiculous to sign an overseas winger unless we're losing one of carlos, fonua, michaels or bin man. We need a decent stand off but suspect if we get anyone it will be gaskell which would leave us with 3 average stand offs

Why is every1 calling him a winger? Cos hdm said so? He's pretry much played centre for at least 3 years
Also if he was to come I think he'd be a revelation in SL
Tailor made for this comp. 20 tries a year defo

I can't answer for everyone else, but my knowledge of the NRL this year has dipped. Not seen much of it at all.

Having just looked at a couple of the teamsheets for Wests this year he seemed to have played left centre inside Rankin. It makes no odds, it'd still be a strange one when we have Connor, Griffin, Logan and Tui who can all play left centre.

More a right centre I think. I still have an inkling radders will revert Fonua back to the wing given the squad coming together
Not seen any mention from hull regarding connor at centre tho. Think he'll be 1 or 6 or nothing unless injuries strike

According to Connor interview he sees himself at 6.
That means we have three who can play 6 but no established 6.
Just hope we get the half back which is what is needed.
The Naiqama rumour seems a bit strange but a good wing with plenty of speed.

Given what we have seen this season from Fonua he would be wasted on the wing.He sees much more ball and action as a centre.
There is an interview with Connor on FC live.He sees his position next season here as a 6.
If we sign an established 6 which we need i think Connor will end up like Naughton on the sidelines just filling in when necessary.

I see champions Wigan are in for Albert Kelly. Crikey, think we were linked but it's interesting that Wigan might think he's worth a punt.

Kelly has everything needed as a foil for Sneyd. He could really flourish under a strong coach and senior leadership.....I would love to see him in black and white.

I've said n stick by it. With an off season carlos would be the man
This time last year Sneyd was a waste of money in some people's eye's
Houghton wouldn't get a top 4 team etc
Give carlos the means he'd be fine imo
2nd season is usually when most overseas come good
Plus young and his 1st grade experience is prob on a par with abdull despite being a couple of years older
He was the best half on field v wigan other week. Couldn't of looked more of a 6
Also check the video of him on yt . In that few mins it shows all you'd want in a 6. Or even a 1. I'd be fine with him
Only thing is tho I really liked the look of him at centre early in the year
