Does anyone actually know if Fonua has actually been released from the final year of his contract, would imagine if he has hooker (probably Peats and an overseas prop would fill our quota spots

If fit then Wardle would be a decent signing but its the IF that's the biggest issue so unless any deal reflects the risk then we'd be stupid to give him a deal. We've already got the likes of Bowden, Taylor and Matongo that have regularly struggled to make match days or get any sort of run of games due to constant injury issues over the past two seasons.

If its true that Fonua has gone then its a sad way for him to leave but sadly it doesn't change the fact it was a poor signing by Radford at the time as most said at the time as had more important areas of the squad that needed addressing.

Hardly smart Dave cheap or not its a salary.
Remember Savelio hardly pulled up trees in his first season back from injury and we cant afford the luxury of another player coming back from long term injury and needing the first season to bed in.
We should stay away from players with long term injury problems.Our in house experience with Taylor Bowden and Masi should be the red light needed.
My concern is we start signing players to try and make a point rather then going for quality.
Adam Pearson once again said he will act but signing players simply because they are available is the wrong policy at this time of the year.
A big front row is definitely needed but whilst others like yourself and the club now seem focused on a change at nine its half back we need to change.
Dancing queen Sneyd is the major problem to our attack in the opposition 20.It cant just be fans who see this but i cant see the club trying to move him on so the focus has to be a running 6 if Reynolds retires.
I would go for tweaks this season and make the real changes for 2023 when the club have a lot more players off contract.

Difference between Savelio and Wardle, is Savelio was 24 when he had a bad knee injury
Wardle is now 30...
Pay as you play, fine... anything more than that, its another Adam Dykes scenario.....
IMO..

was fonua sacked, if not he will be entitled to his wages until the end of his contract

Fonua definitely gone.

Hearing JJ, Bowden, Matongo, Sneyd, Reynolds and possibly Savelio all up for the chop been offered out or looking to let go.

Don't think any are surprises.

You are a tease getting me so excited until Savelio’s name given I wanted it t

o be true.

Just Rumours, so take with a pinch of salt.

I think Savelios mentality is questionable, was great when we were in form, but was one you'd look too to perform against adversity and sadly he looked like he d downed tools.

Shame as he s a player I do like.

From social media it looks like Savelio can act a bit of a tw@ at times - theres a great player in there but it doesnt come out often enough. Id like to keep him but im betting Lane and Cator are much better professionals and probably earn less too

When Savelio was racially abused we saw his temper then, it was justifiable, but he’s followed this up on a couple of more occasions and he looks to be out of control. Anger is an emotion aggression is learned, it’s fine if it’s controlled but let lose it’ll loose more than it gains.

I'm quite surprised you don't have Taylor on your list.
