Looking at this:

OUT - Fusit'ua, Martin, Frawley, Roberts, Donaldson

IN - Cotric/Reimis Smith/Feldt (Wing/FB cover), Amone, Shaun Johnson (MQ), Qareqare (Cas), Seguier/Dezaria (Cats)

Oli Leyland (Lon) had a good game against us, is utility/cheap/young/British and would be worth a punt?

Euan Aitken (Dol) also excellent utility value and 'Scottish'

Josh Pa'apali v.good, but expensive.(MQ)

Jarrod Wallace again good, but getting on a tad.

Peter Smith now reporting Momirovski is off home to take up a coaching gig with the Chooks.

That to me means Conner and Sivo will n and that would be us done IMO

I guess that would be a good recruitment cycle, but I would still have liked a big bodied 2nd row to give us a big pack. I think collectively our current backrows are too small, but note either of yesterdays recruits can fill in at 2nd row too. A large out and out 2nd row would have complimented McDonnell / Gannon and Bentley.

I have concerns with Gannon because how is he going to avoid head collisions next year? Is he ruled out for the rest of the year as soon as he takes a bang to the head? I would love him to succeed but not sure how this will be possible.

If Sivo comes in as well, would there be much need for another prop/2nd row? Assuming the starting wingers are Handley and then Hall/Sivo rotation, you've got some big metres coming out of back play, hopefully taking the workload off the props (which are already looking a lot better). I wouldn't be complaining if they went and got another forward, mind.

Unless were looking at some UK based players?
