And that's why I didn't want to put 2+2 together.
I suppose it may come down to how badly Shudds want shut, knowing that someone is interested in taking Ferguson from them.
They possibly need to line up a replacement?

We are the only super league club in the running for him.

Does this mean we are the only one who has offered any interest in him?

I used to be a fan of him but he has barely played much SL since 2013 and the league gets harder year on year.

Just not sure on this one as to whether or not he will improve our side if he was to be a regular. Squad player maybe but dont think now he is any better than what we already have

I don't think it does tbh. The fact is he's played the majority of his career in SL suggests to me he knows what it's all about. I think he''s a better player than Molloy and even if he isn't in the starting 17 each week, we need someone who can step in do the same job as the starting player. Ateotd it's all about who'd available and the wages they command. If Ferguson fits the bill, imo he won't let anyone down.

All bad no thanks would rather keep tope with 1 leg

has anybody seen A.TOUPOU around wakey he should be back pre season now? I am sure I saw him Cronulla the weekend.

So you're saying you would rather keep A Tupou with an injury on a big salary, rather than to use his wages to bolster the pack? Allgood if he came would be a No.3/4 Prop and adds some size and experience. Fergy would be here to back up Ashurst & Kirmond, along with a few others
It's all speculation at this point and yes I'd love an A Tupou here, even playing at 90% his best but his minutes weren't great and his limping around got worse as the season went on, so it doesn't bode well. If he does decide to retire, we could use his wage to bring in extra reinforcements in the forwards plus with Moores' wages, make a bid for a decent starting Hooker. With no millionaire backer, we've got to get value for money and use our resources the best we can.

Tupou isn't coming back, hence we have the quota space to sign Allgood. We don't just get to re-use all his wage elsewhere though as his severence agreement from the remainder of his contract will be deducted from available funds. Still likely to be a decent amount to play with though.

Tupou won't be back, allgood plus another prop and I'll be happy

Craig Huby I hear.

Hope you're right.
Huby, although not prolific last season, would be a decent signing.

Huby would be a massive signing in more ways than one.

Being serious, his last few seasons at Cas before his move to Hudds he was one of the most destructive forwards in SL. If he can shed the timber he's put on, there's no doubt he can reach that form again.

But I doubt it'll happen. Hudds have let go so many players and have signed a only a few so far.

Don't now about that, you probably have more trust in our conditioner than me .

Our conditioner did a pretty good job at the start of last season...

I'd be very happy with Ferguson and I'd probably have him in the side over Kirmond if I'm honest. Allgood and Huby would both be good signings if true. I think I'd prefer to get just one of them though and getting another hooker to replace Moore should be our top priority.
