Sivo would be immense in SL and would really excite me just like when we signed signed Marcus Bai all those years ago. Strength/power/explosiveness/try scorer and he and Hall would fit right into Arthur’s blue print of having big powerful backs who can really bring the ball out of our own end with a bang and get us on the front foot early in the tackle count.

If we sign Sivo though I wonder if it means there could be something in what Arthur reportedly said about seeing Handley as a centre?

I wonder if we might be one of the clubs in for Liam Byrne from Wigan as the other week it was as reported that Wigan might grant his wish for a release as he sees himself as a starter and Wigan have 101 props already?

If our new signings for next season were:

Sivo
Connor (still personally don’t think he’s a good idea given his habit of rocking the boat/poor attitude but reportedly a done deal)
Hall
Jenkins (think he will be announced tomorrow)
Bryne (maybe wishing thinking but gives us decent non quota prop)
One other NRL prop


That suddenly adds options and plenty of size to our pack and power and explosive carries on both. Wings.


I’d be well happy with all of the above and would fit into Arthur’s known preference for a power game in the pack and backs

The only thing this doesn’t seem to address is the lack of leadership in the group. Otherwise it’s a good improvement.

If we land Sivo and Momorovski is shipped out i'd fully expect our first choice backline would be

1.Miller
2. Sivo
3. Newman
4. Handley
5. Hall

If Momirovski was to stick around and nothing comes of the Sivo deal we'd more than likely go with

1. Miller
2. Hall
3. Newman
4. Momirovski
5. Handley

Keenan palasai. Who had that name?! Some rand bloke on a Facebook comments section last night saying he would be announced this morning (I thought it was a random stab on the dark ) but other than him, nobody!

Love it when the club do this



Looks a cracking signing aswell

Well didn’t see that one coming. Don’t know anything about him, so decided to have a quick look on their forum for a bit of fan opinion.

Some interesting reading



‘’Hopefully we can jettison Palasia as I doubt he has a future at the club after his pathetic efforts this season.’’

‘’Maybe we can move Keenan Palasia to free up a spot as I can not see him getting much playing time with Campbell-Gillard on the way’’

‘’Hopefully we can move on Palasia’’

‘’Let's trade Keenan Palasia for a kitkat. This bloke is so crap’’

Sounds like this place.

Yes he looks good. Had a cracking season for Brisbane in their GF year a couple of seasons back. Size and power. Yes he’s not had a great one season just gone but it’s about as good an NRL signing at his age you could reasonably expect

I'm beyond getting excited or disappointed with any signings I just hope we are not just going for the next cab off the rank and are genuinely signing players that will make a big impact.

If we end up something like this

Releasing Momirovski and Sangare and bringing in another Quota player plus a fed trained player we will be in a much better position.

His name isn't big enough
