He definitely fell down the pecking order I'm afraid. Roosters were trying to offload him at start of season. Injury came during the season.

Quality is so low in SL these days he will probably do well over here.

Only 2 overseas spots to fill and that’s assuming Nene is not coming back. If he is then it’s only 1 quota spot left

Hi Cheeky
You’re spot on I forgot that Fusi had signed on. Would seem unlikely that Nene will be back but who knows. Hopefully a top centre and a SO from NRL then let’s see what else there is over here. Could do with another hooker an another utility back to cover centre and SO. Hopefully Gannon will be injury free next year and really kicks on as he offer’s something different from the rest of the 2nd rowers we have but unless there are some more outgoing players it’s hard to see much else. However nothing will surprise me.

He's now linking us with Kelepi Tanginoa from Wakefield.

The people we are linked with don't exactly inspire hope

Momorovski is a good signing I think. However tanginoa or Whitbread are not the answer in the forwards. Still believe we need a leader whether that's at halfback or at prop.

Whitbread’s agent apparently confirms it won’t be Leeds.

Cooper John's to FC should go well over here.

He’s one who’s worth a look for SL clubs I agree.

Can’t see any point in signing Tanginoa, we don’t need another second row to use a quota spot

Yep. We cannot afford to fluff a quota spot in a position where it would be a luxury. It has to be a half - a good one - and a centre with some pace. Appreciate we also need a prop and potentially a hooker, but we have a decent chance of sourcing both from non quota players.
