Is the guy Sinny trained with back in the day still around?.
I remember how big a difference that made to his skills.

Ruan is gonnnnee

Yep, clearing the decks and creating as much cap space for more incomings. I feel he won’t be the last departure announced within the next couple of weeks.

Fairly happy with business done today. I have seen a few comments on the signings not being the pack leader we need, I am not sure many of those are available at the level of quality we need. Before a particular poster says pangai jnr - he isn’t a pack leader. He is often suspended, he gave up the game once before, he is potentially unbelievable but it’s mainly potential.

As a few have said I’d feel very happy to trade sangare for Byrne. I also wouldn’t be overly sad to see lisone leave for Byrne and to bring in an NRL back rower.

Conner as utility, Jack out on loan, mom to leave with a larger NRL back to come in would be very nice.

Only lingering question is who is going to do the kicking. The drop down to whoever replaces Martin feels large. Conner can’t kick every goal if he isn’t on the pitch all the time

Blease said on the pod tonight kicking isn’t a ‘headache’ for them but they are looking at it. He was quite coy but there’s obviously going to be be some movement in the squad, Ruan is reported as left tonight.

Miller will be the kicker or at least he will get first dibs at it

I have no doubt that Jake Connor is a starting centre and also kicker.

‘Yes we are very interested in utility in the backs who is also a good kicker’

Justin Sangare and Paul Momirovski for me, maybe Toby Warren as it hasn’t gone to plan for him.

Prop - Oledzki, Holroyd, Lisone, Palasia, Jenkins, TNW, Littlewood.

SR - McDonnell, Bentley, Gannon

When you look at that we need another Second Row, with Jake Connor coming in and taking Momirovskis place.

I'd have Littlewood down as back row rotation, giving us McDonnell and Bentley starting, then Gannon and Littlewood competing. As others have said Jenkins and O'Connor can also play there too in emergencies.

I'd still like to see Connor for utility value and Siva replace Mom and then we are in good shape. If we can offload Sangare and bring in Byrne that would also be good business.

If Connor does come, we need to send Jack out for a full season loan where he plays every week. Somewhere like Featherstone or Halifax (assuming they recover financially)would be good.
