Bateman, join Williams again, who he played with at Wigan and the raiders.

Salford now being linked with Marsters. Does that mean there’s some truth in the Lafai to Hull rumours?

Seems Salford want all three, I'd move on and target a younger NRL centre.

I agree. Next season we will have two 30 plus centres and several 30 plus forwards. Sutcliffe's can play a number of positions and his versatility would be a useful option from the bench. Also If either or both Whitehead and Abdull sign we will have spare quota places.

Don’t need to get too concerned about players in their early 30s. Athletes are different these days and Lafai is showing that.

I'd definitely sign Lafai and isn't even the fee, we have the money, is more the fact that it looks like Salford want to keep him, not sure it's worth the chase and time.

Could miss out on other NRL centres, maybe put a quick deadline in this potential deal

Players a lot fitter in their 30's than 20 years ago they all look after themselves more.

Which NRL centres are OOC and better than Lafai?

Not sure, not that OOC matters anyway, clubs release players all the time.

We have choice, wait around and hope Salford release/sell us Lafai or make an offer for someone like Niu who is available younger, and whilst probably not as good as Lafai right now has alot of potential.

Don't want to wait around to be rejected by Salford or Lafai and miss out on other targets.

I would think that Cartwright will be the one to identify/sign the overseas halfback,second row and centre that we need
Tuimavave off contract and Okunbor likely to be released to give us the quota places

Shock horror….the coach actually saying who he wants…who would have thought it….thought it was Richie rich who did it all in your world

I'll be amazed if Abdull isn't our starting 7 next year

If rumours are to be belived the halfback and backrower won't be quota players.

Think we could have 4 quota spots available too, one maybe been Satae, leaves us 3 places for a centre, hooker and another position.

who is the half back and backrower?
heard about Whitehead but cant see it

Abdull will be the 7
