Trent Merrin?

Fluck no. I'd rather see Delaney go round again.

Mole is saying we signed Hurrell

Funny how the mole usually the first to know these things but this time is one of the last.

It wouldn't surprise me if we went hard for O'Neill and turned to Hurrell when that fell through. Could explain some of the delay, as is the requirement for Hurrell to get a release from the Titans.

any talk of drinkwater out your way?

I really hope not, a waste of an overseas place IMO, yes he went OK at Catalan but we have signed 2 halves for next season and would only want another if it was of a very high quality, Myler will be much better with a better team around him.

So would any player.

Don’t think Leeds will have room but would make a very good foil for Austin and kick goals, direct wire around the park. Helped get Catalan a trophy could do the same for wire.

The big risk with both the Tui and Hurrell signings are keeping them both in good shape - both have a history of not looking after their diet, fitness, weight and looking at Tui in the warm up for this Tonga/Aus game, he's looking a tad more chunky than usual - not being in the Wests team at back end of season and a few weeks off looks to have taken it's toll. But he is a super talent, be interesting to see how he plays against Aus.

That's why the existing relationship with Furner is key going forward - he must be content he can keep them fit and motivated, otherwise we'd surely have looked elsewhere.

Lolohea looked like that playing reserve grade at the end of the year. His lack of fitness may have been one of the reasons he didn't get picked by Wests even when he was available and they were down to 3rd/4th choice full back and halfbacks. It could just be suggestive that relations broke down with the club, so he may well put in the work in the off season. One thing's for sure he is a couple of stone above where he should be right now.

Martin Taupau the latest name to be linked to us on social media this morning I see.

I think we might see Callum mclellend feature quite a bit. It wouldn’t surprise me if he took the “14” bench spot

McLennend hasn't played a senior game of RL in his career - can see him playing a season at Featherstone.
