His last chance at Penrith doesn't mean last in NRL, most clubs would take him.

yes but as you know sheldon, the nrl is like a fishbowl, step out of line and the media is on you like a tramp on chips...over here, well your lucky if you get 3 lines in the monday papers as a "game review"

Dont know what the fuss is over Arndel - looks a likely candidate to get shoved in the back row. Dont think he has the pace to be a top centre

i agree with taht, we have to be realistic, BUT we seem to have cash to spend on recruitment which is a good thing....

McRae states on the press release that Ellis will probably be the last high profile player to come to Super League from the NRL - so when people are mentioning some of the names that they are on here, then we may need to reel it in a bit.

Would be a decent signing IMO (presuming you mean Paul from Wakey?).

Sorry, yes I did.

Apart from Jennings, everyone else being mentioned is a realistic target, do you not think? Hardly class Johnson, Watts, Taylor, Arundel, Burgess & Crookes out of our league.

Ellis will be a big draw for other top players imo

For me this is what I'd like for next season:

McKinnon - J. Briscoe
Sharp - Lineham
New centre (or Turner if his defence massively improves) - L. Cunningham
Yeaman - Crooks
T. Briscoe - Lyne
Horne - Nicklas
Seymour - Ellis

Tickle - Bowden
Houghton - J. Cunningham
Lynch - Green
Ellis - Kent
Manu - Pearce
Westerman - Brown

Heremaia
Whiting
O'Carroll
New prop in Patrick, Taylor, Watts or Johnson (or Moa if at all possible)

In : Ellis, a centre (or Turner) and a prop (or Moa), plus keeping Sharp, Manu and Whiting.
Out : Martin, O'Meley, Aspinwall and Burnett

Can't help but think you've gone with that one because of his name. He's not been the 20s full back for a while now, Shaul is currently and Lyne is supposed to be going for it too. A lot of people seem to doubt J Briscoe will actually make it, and I have to say that whilst I haven't been a regular at the 20s for a while he didn't stand out when I have seen him. The fact that he's been part of the first team squad for almost as long as Tom but hasn't really had a sniff of first team rugby is possibly telling.

I've tried to list as best positional wise, but tbh I've not seen the 20s this season. Wouldn't like to have Lyne as full back though, would be fearing the worst every time a high ball went up.

from what ive seen from the u20s, lyne doesnt look like a super league player to me, yes he has speed, but just looks too lightweight, easily pushed off when tackling players
