Would all make sense.
Two more big bodies in and one of them an NRL marquee.
Rhyse to stay.
Fusitua out and Hall in to create the OQ spot.
And try to move Frawley (Fraudley....lol) on and bring in a new 7.
In hindsight we should have gone for Clune.

For me, we should go all out for Mikey Lewis and keep an OQ spot for wing or back row.
But that really is dreamland.

Hull KR are minted now, and Lewis is marquee. No chance he goes anywhere unless it's the NRL

We should have thrown money at Lewis 2 years ago but I think that ship has sailed.
I`d be quite happy to see if we can move Frawley on which I know will likely cost us and play Sinfield there for the rest of the season.
Catalans interested in signing Handley.

Handley has been great this year and Sinfield could be our 7 in a year or two if he keeps progressing. Losing either would be beyond stupid.

No idea on the two mentioned, don't watch much NRL these days and not up on French players.

Sangare also reminds me of Feather / Crabtree /etc.

I said it when we signed Sangare that i just dont see a top player in him and thats proving to be the case. Our first choice 4 props going into the season were a real gamble which isnt paying off at the moment.

I’d take those two props for sure.

Not sure we need another 7. Maybe see how Sinfield goes and we have Fergus McCormack or Miller for reserve next year.

Thing is most signings are going to be 2 years minimum and we don’t want to block our youth too long.

We have a large number of back rowers but still would prefer one in there of real quality.

Left field name: Elliott Whitehead? No idea whether he’d return to UK but always rated him.

Those targets look sensible given our needs. Though not sure frawley is being replaced just yet even long term.

I’d imagine we’re looking in the loan market as even the kids coming into the back line are getting injured

I think any back rower we sign needs to be a hard runner,we have lots of workhorses

Whitehead is 34. I think he'll retire and stay out in Oz, no doubt the Raiders would offer him a role once he's finished playing.

I’d imagine whitehead would retire, but he’s the type of back row I’d want, more to his game than a workhorse.

We badly miss some second phase play sometimes. It seems there’s on Sangare with an offload in him and some of his are ill-advised.

I was just thinking a final year swansong a little like Hall TBH: Whitehead is better than any other backrower at the club still I'd say.

Bousqet and Papali would transform our pack from Middleweight to Heavyweight. Sounds too good to be true, so probably is, but that's the quality of player we should be aiming for.
