Expect 3 nrl signings, a prop, centre and a halfback. Wouldn't surprise me if we made a dig for chad Townsend or Brandon burns. I'd like either the prop or halfback to be experienced and to provide leadership.
Sims is well past it.

We’ve only 2 quota spots haven’t we?

Newman Oledski?

24 isn't peak (you're still an adolescent!) more around 27. The injuries and rehabilitation have clearly held his full potential back.

Wonder if Newman would benefit from a mentor from outside the club. Maybe be an ex-player like Ablett or Senior, just a thought.

Twal is a good solid pro. I wouldn’t mind him but wouldn’t pay marquee money for him either.

I can’t help but think we could use the quota on more pivotal positions and then find another prop domestically.

If we are looking at filling three marquee positions as GH mentioned last week, you'd have to think prop is one of them. Given that there are virtually no English half backs or centres who justify that kind of spend, I would say prop is the only position where you could source a federation trained player of the requisite quality. Sutton, Burgess and Thompson would be three examples.

Behaving like one, certainly.
Don't think anyone could argue about your last comment. But the point remains: how high should we go in terms of retaining his services?

Talk of Esah going to Saints.
Hope we get him signed and not let him slip through the net.

Twal will go to Manly
