| Danny Brough is, what, 34? Still a terrific player but he'd only be a short term solution. Plus it sounds like we tried to do a deal but Huddersfield are understandably reluctant to release their best player. Established, top line NRL halves are out of our price range. In fact, due to the value of the position I'd guess that in terms of average salary, halves would be at the top of the list in the NRL, meaning even average NRL starters are likely out of our price range. So for established players coming out of the NRL we'd be looking at the tier below that or at aging veterans who can only get 1 year deals in Oz. Either way I am not sure we'd get value, we'd either pay top whack for an average / below average NRL half or have to give a veteran a longer contract than we'd like to.
That's just the reality of the NRL having a salary cap 3 times ours.
We've been too quick to write off young halves in the past, Sneyd is starting to look the real deal and Carlos has shown enough skill set IMO to prove he can be an effective long term 6, with skills complimentary to Sneyd, and potentially a high ceiling given an extended run at the position and some patience. Don't get me wrong, he's not the finished article and clearly needs to grow in confidence in the role, but he's worth a chance. It'd be great to get another year out of Pryce as back-up on a reduced contract, perhaps with some coaching responsibilities, but not sure how likely that is.

| I know Punchard recently signed a new contract.
Could we be looking at him to replace Reece/HTW?

| Seem a bit pointless to replace HTW with him, as we have to pay a fee and pay him to enough for him to either move here or commute, will work out the same what Harry wants.
Not sure on our cap but we have enough spare and Savlio becomes available I'd make him an offer.
