Interesting times... I think that we have definitely strengthened but Sezer will make a massive difference if he comes. If not for the SBW signing an NRL grand final half back, who played a big part in turning around Canberra’s season would be headline news as he should be in his prime.

Equally as important is working out where we stand with Leroy this worries me as his partnership with Jerry was always worth a lot of tries each season. In this years competitive league we can’t afford to carry a player who might play at some point and if there is a risk to his long term health should his knee/s go again. Will Jordan Turner be fit?

If Seb made way for Sezer does Frawley make way for a potential replacement for Leroy ?

Given a couple more smart moves we should see a much better team with some ‘bang’ in the forwards I can see a Sezer/Gaskell half back partnership doing very well indeed behind some go forward.

I think I saw turner in some photos of them training this week but it was difficult to tell if it was him- my son thought it was though.
Don’t think Leroy was in any of them.

No because Grix has already been announced as a Halifax player. Folk on the Fax forum suggesting another signing.
Also heard that Leroy has another pot on. Hope that's not true but if it is that doesn't look promising for this season.

Latrell Mitchell is available! (We wish)

Gigot still available too...

Surprised gigot hasn’t been snapped up.

Don't know if he would want to play right centre, but would be a good replacement for Leroy if he can't get back fit

Isn't Chester Butler a Right centre ?

Yeah believe he was a centre / second row. Same as Sam Wood

What is Sam's current situation at the club? Never seen him have a bad game. Hes always looked like a competent super league player. Great in defence and good at close range in attack.

I'm not sure, he's still with us, I'm sure I've seen photos of him at preseason training. He's always looked a good player and a good talker when I've seen him, maybe just a case that his face doesn't fit, or maybe will get his chance this year? Might be a good opportunity for him to play regularly in our systems with the reseves

Sam is back and training- I agree he’s a solid player and yes a good talker-
the only person who’s been paired at half back With brough who has had brough say positive things about them that I can recall!
He may get a chance to shine in the reserves and with our centres not really set in stone For various reasons may get a chance to impress woolford and picked to be in first team

I'd forgotten about the time we had him playing in the halves, we've really struggled for HBs recently haven't we.

Good to hear. Lets hope he can kick on this season and get some first team game time.

Not in the least surprising the way our pack has performed in that period. The last time we had a strong pack that held it's own Brough won man of steel and on the strength of that we won the Hubcap, Since then as you rightly say we have struggled . Hopefully the penny has finally dropped and the powers that be have realised that halves don't shine behind beaten forwards.
