Parra have announced Sivo is to leave the club. I wonder where he's off.

Hmm.. it's hoping Holroyd stays fit and Jenkins works out is that... TNW the same..

Totally agree. Also you never know with Sanagare with his age and a full pre season under Brad Arthur. He's still got the potential to mature yet..

One of the reasons I was optimistic last season was that a 'fit Holroyd' would feature regularly and be pushing alongside Oledski for an England place. It is all the more worrying if we're pinning our hopes on him again. A real Sangare replacement would be ideal, notwithstanding the two forward additions made so far. After all, Holroyd played less in 2024 and when he did play looked worse than Sangare, IMO.

I said after we announced Connor that if we could swap Mom for Sivo or a good quality NRL centre and then Sangare for Byrne or Eseh that I think that would be a decent off season.

I think Sivo and Eseh are the most likely to come in

I'd be happier if Eseh or Byrne came in to replace Sangare for sure but if not we are still in a better place than last year.

Just got to wait and see

I think releasing Sangare and not replacing him is asking for trouble. We need to be consistently fielding a large front row each week and if Holroyd's availability is as per normal, then this will be very difficult.

Blease delivering the squad turnover at a faster rate than we could reasonably have expected. Other than Martin hard to disagree with all the departing players.
If Mom goes as expected and Sivo comes in only final piece is if we have any cap left for another forward.
Sangare was 6th choice in the props perhaps a big 16 stone plus back row would give us more balance as other than Gannon we lack size in that area!

Sivo leaving Parra, confirmed

Well with Sangare , Goudemand, Ruan, Hudson already gone, and Momirovski soon to be announced, it seems that you can actually shift on contracted players if you want to. Blease is doing a great job so far, well done Blaster!

In fairness Smith did much the same. His big mistake was not bringing in better replacements. I know Donaldson and Martin were not released but when you add them it's a lot departures in the pack. I believe we must act to replace Sangare with a better player or be doomed to living with another average bunch of forwards when injuries strike. Hopefully Blease recognises that too.
