Apart from back to NRL after his stock has risen this season.

If youre thinking that changing half backs will improve our team
Then you’re an absolute moron.

I’m struggling to understand what the plan is if we are getting in Napoleon and Ava whoever. Why lose garbutt and even release mullally to bring in projects. It all looks random to me.
Think PNG players may be
Exempt from quota

No

We had a space left when we released Garbutt (we'd already signed Merrin whilst we still had Garbutt)

Albert is excempt from any quota due to special measures involving signings from clubs in administration.

if and when we sign the Cronulla prop then yes we will be full and will then need to release likes of Cuthbo, Parcel et al IF we want to bring in any new overseas for next season

Wellington Boot is excempt from all quota rules due to special measures agreed for taking on players from clubs in administratio.

On your other point i tend to agree, Garbutt (when fit and on the pitch) better than anything we are currently bringing in. I too cannot understand the Wellington boot signing, other than he is dirt cheap. Like any PNG player he can be aggressive going forward and is strong and i seem to recall he has an offload, but Widnes fans saying he cannot defend for toffee......so he should fit in well then

There was obviously a problem with Garbutt,real or perceived ,wish we could forget him and move on!

No, Cuthbertson NFT, Hurrell NFT, Lolohea NFT OQ, Merrin NFT OQ, Parcell NFT OQ, Peteru NFT OQ

Meaning we have one spot on both NFT and OQ quotas. Albert is exempt from both due to special circumstances, only for the length of his first contract.

Wouldn't call Ava a project, well over 100 NRL first grade games, im a big fan of Garbutt so not going to say Ava's better, but his NRL pedigree is certainly better than Garbutts was when he came over. He got injured in a trial last weekend though, read he was out for 6 week. Alberts a very good athlete at his size with agression and an offload, can see why a coach would want to have a look, see if he can be coached up, not on the quota and cheap as chips.

More NRL games than Kylie had!

Andre savelio being offered to Super league clubs. Would you want him ?

Absolutely. Great young player. Although, it would be a gamble given his recent injury record.

If we're looking at some or all of those mentioned it says a lot about Furner's view of his current choices.
