I would agree, and this season will be telling for those you've mentioned.. but.. I have a lot more sympathy and patience with home grown players than I would with a player like Fus. I doubt any of those you've mentioned have much impact on the cap, and if clubs took this view with all their players we wouldn't have had JJB and other players like Tom Johnson never would have made it in SL.

It can't be indefinite, but it is a different story to an overseas player on big money in the same situation. Plus the fact all three have massive potential, with Holroyd and Gannon particularly being in or around the England set-up at various times.

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?
