[quote="Steve0":14wbr3my]Whilst I can see the logic in all our overseas signings having worked with Cartwright at some point so he knows what they're like, is it not a risk that by not casting our net wider, we're missing out on potential better players that he hasn't worked with?[/quote:14wbr3my] Yeah, he obviously wants people he trusts to get us back on track short term and who he knows will fit in with what he wants with effort in training etc but eventually you’ll think we’ll have to cast the net wider. That’s assuming the Liam Knight thing is true anyway, and even if it is it the Cartwright link could just be a coincidence, it’s a pretty tenuous link as he was only 20 and made only 1 appearance for Manly. It is interesting though, it’s the first thing to look for when we are linked with an overseas based player and there is a link there.

[quote="Milky121086":3sjjrdn1]I like the Royle option I must admit, I mean yeah obviously we would want a hard hitting, tackle busting 2nd rower (Willie Manu syle) but very few and far between of those so yeah Royle or Livett for me good options. Johnson doesn't interest me at all. Centre wise do you think we could make a play even just short term for either Connor Wrench or Zak Eckersley?[/quote:3sjjrdn1] Wrench is injured and Eckersley is right on the fringe of first team, do doubt they let him go. I'd bring in Eseh on loan, short term deal fir Livitt or Royle and an overseas centre. Possible look at Perham we looked at him before, hadn't made the Broncos top 30, can play any position in the backs and has real speed about him.

[quote="Cuddleclub":3dgm0te0]Perham would fit right in as well, just done his ACL[/quote:3dgm0te0] Of course he has. Wonder how Te Whare is getting on in Japan.

[quote="Dave K.":3e014lyl]Of course he has. Wonder how Te Whare is getting on in Japan.[/quote:3e014lyl] He scored a good try other week, looks really fit to be fair. We’d soon sort that out

Only quota prop I'd take would be Amone, as he would make a huge difference, can't see the Bulldogs letting him go before the season has even started.
