Shaun Johnson was been offered to SL clubs last week, I would have him in a heartbeat but something tells me he will probably end up back with the Warriors or maybe even stay at the sharks with them missing out on Reynolds who they thought was nailed on.

Kyle Flanagan if you wanted to take a punt, young lad that looked a world beater was sacked off by the Roosters on the basis he didn't deliver a premiership at 21 now dropped from the doggies for a few bad plays, I think a move to SL would do him the world of good, similar to the Hastings move a couple of years back.

He can bring his dad with him as well if he wants

Still hold out hope Lino will come good for us, thing is I don`t think he has looked terrible and he`s not exactly had a good platform to work from.

Apparently the number 1 requirement at this moment in time is another second rower which I really don`t get.

Not sure what Lino has to do with it I'm already happy with him, he's a decent signing.

However, we are that short of Pivots I think an end-of-the-season deal is what we need if we could find a Hastings but one that's more a hooker than a HB,

J Wood is out for ages, Eaves is a loan, Crowther isn't a 9 so that leaves Kyle.

We may get Miller back soon so that's HB's covered but another who can do a job there wouldn't go amiss. Hampshire and Jowitt are the obvious FB's for this season at least.

Who they get next season is up to the staff.

So is there a Hastings type out there who might want a half-season in SL to put himself in the shop window, it's worked well for us in the past even if it isn't ideal.

Hooker all the way for me, be amazed if Miller & Lino aren't the halfbacks next year.

According to zero tackle (not normally too far off for an unofficial website) there's a dozen.

The most obvious one is Joey Lussick, at least he knows SL and knows life in the UK.

Can't remember if he was any good but he's probably better placed to take up a short-term deal than most?

Says he's at Parramatta but who knows.

He isn't getting any game time at Parramatta so maybe. The impression i got though is he wanted to go back to Australia after a few seasons away so whether he'd fancy it again i'm not sure.

Depends if he's skint. In fairness, it would only be for three month, not like we will be in the play offs

Tanah Boyd out of that list, can play hb and hooker

Granville is the best calibre out of the hookers in there I reckon.

Unfortunately Granville is in the starting 17 at the Cowboys most weeks and Boyd started at 6 for Titans last weekend...probably need to look a bit further, someone like Marshall-King who hasn't featured much this year

The problem with any signing from the Southern Hemisphere is can they get a visa and if so how long does it take. We are saved from them having to quarantine for two weeks but I think we will be looking well into June even if we announced a signing now.

Well we have the lad from Saints let's see how he goes it's not necessary to go overseas all the time. Over the years we have unearthed some gems from the likes of Wigan and Leeds A teams

That’s true enough.
