As much as I like Brand we have been in SL with him before, if we are serious about competing and staying up after this rebrand then we need more players, there will never be a better time with other teams weaker and us with a settled core of quality players and full funding. Derek, please roll the dice and spend the cap we need a top drawer winger and 2 quality props, I’m not convinced with Jack Hughes either. Players like Nisbett, Wilde, Brand, Jones aren’t going to be ten anywhere near the team.

Hanley from Wigan ?

Not really, we are on the look out to fill a quota spot which may have become free - if Ferguson doesn't come back then it would be virtually impossible to find that quality still available in an outside back, so most fans believe we need a big middle to balance the squad

With the salary cap increase now having been announced, I don’t think we will see any NRL forwards joining us. Marty Taupau or anyone like him.

Looking at the squad photo there is only 24 players and that’s with Umyla Hanley who is only on trial, we look very short compared to all the other teams. We seem to do this every time we get to SL and end up drafting in desperate loans during the season.
