I'd hazard a guess at, at least, Moms, Sangare, Ruan and Warren going.

Two quota spots available atm surely that will be filled by two props.

Apparently lodge might be coming to SL

Personally I hope we don't use Connor as a centre. He doesn't offer us any of the things we lack (pace/power) there. I'd really like to see him pushing for a place in the spine positions. In turn we can get Sinfield sorted out with a proper loan move and provide the week to week experience he needs. If Mom leaves we should use his spot on a proper ball carrying centre/winger, and the other two quota spots on props. However, if we could source a good English prop (Byrne) I'd be more than happy to go with one NRL prop and a second row. Including Hall, that would be six new players. Enough to make a big difference.

6 new players in the typical match-day 17 feels like the right number, and should be doable on the cap if we can move a couple more out. 1 Winger (Hall) 1 Centre (TBC), 2 Props (TBC), 1 Back Row (TBC), and 1 x Utility (TBC). The only one that’s a doubt for me is the Utility because I think that’s more to shoe horn Connor in rather than truly a need week to week, perhaps he doesn’t play unless there are injuries or loss of form somewhere?

Regardless of how we feel they all performed, there is no denying that Miller, Croft, and Frawley all managed to stay fit fir the vast majority of the season. The odds would be against all of them doing that again. That's where Connor would come in for me. Maybe if he hits form he might displace Frawley. On the other hand, I could stomach him at centre if it meant two NRL props and a second row.

A bench of
Holroyd
Lisone
Gannon/Mcdonnell
Connor

Is better than what we have had for a while ( assuming we sign a starting prop and back row / mom stays) .

Remains to be seen what involvement gannon and holroyd will have. Fingers crossed time, i guess.

I can’t see us carrying Connor and O’Connor on the bench.

Connor in ahead of Mom for me..

They've both previously had injuries on top of the concussions, having a year off they should be fit a fiddles now and in tip top condition. Should be like signing 2 players in terms of impact on the squad.

Still going to worry the first time one of them takes a bash to the head though.
