[quote="Trojan Horse":1worapip]There are only a handful of Salford players who could improve us imo but this would be a grand opportunity to secure a target who could figure in the clubs short - med term plans. If they do become salary cap or quota exempt then that could open up the door for Ellis to strengthen short term for this and maybe next season. As I say though, I’d only entertain the short list of players who would challenge our starting 17. Stone, Watkins, Bullock, Sangare, macdonald are the only ones I’d entertain. In fact looking down their squad list it’s hard to believe how well they’ve done recent seasons. Sum more than individual parts.[/quote:1worapip] Always had a strong spine that had pace and skill

Any chance that we might be in for this guy? Only played a handful of NRL games for the Bulldogs last year and didn’t figure in the finals for them, finished the season in the NSW Cup Braden Hamlin-Uele

[quote="The Avenger":1dtie0pn]Any chance that we might be in for this guy?

Plus I'm not sure a player going out of form etc is the one for us - who knows though...

[quote="Trojan Horse":bewy6bm1]If you’re asking about his injury. He played Boxing Day and looked fine and mobile enough.[/quote:bewy6bm1] I completely forgot that he played Boxing Day tbh, just thrashing a few ideas in my head as to why we waited till now to part ways. Must be simple as he's been told he won't be getting regular game time and we want our quota players to be in the 17,

This guy [img:f6t620gq]https://titansm.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Caleb-Uele-Pic-2.jpg[/img:f6t620gq] He's a big lad, bigger than Caleb. He's just turned 30 the other day. Without the connection to Caleb I'd say he was too good for SL and would get snapped up if offered around. This season, however, he's been impacted by injuries and he's received limited minutes in seven NRL games. He still played 12 games, 19 the season before. Just reading about him. He was one of the most damaging players in the game over the last couple of seasons, however he has struggled to reach those heights throughout 2024. Off-season knee surgery ensured he was on the backfoot from the season's outset and it's been a hard grind to catch up ever since. He also just had his first kid in November, so it might be a big ask of his wife to move here. Who knows, though? Maybe he fancies playing with their kid and seeing the land of his descendants. With us never landing the Fifita brothers, maybe the Hamlin-Uele's is our next goal. Good write up on the NRL site below about Braden- [url:f6t620gq]https://www.nrl.com/news/2024/07/26/puts-things-into-perspective-how-upcoming-birth-helped-hamlin-uele-through-dark-days/[/url:f6t620gq]
