I would, but don't think we will as expect Houghton to stay another year, unless we use Lovodua at 6

with Houghton on the Bench

We need to start getting some game time for lovaduo at 9 to see if he is the answer at hooker for next season .

I assumed he was going to the Dolphins. I'd take him if we didn't resign Houghton.

Yeah I'd assumed that too. Especially with him being a Queenslander.

Don't think we've got a cat in hells chance of getting him.

I can't believe that Rovets aren't signing him, probably their best player.

Couldn't see Cas or Hudds signing him, doubt he would go to Wakey. Would Leeds have him back.

Saints and Warrington have good hookers.

Maybe Wigan or Catalans?

Wigan would be a good shout. Powell is out of contract and they'll have a quota spot with us signing French

I think that's the thought process behind the French link.

1. French
6. Trueman
7. Connor

If we could pull it off I'd hope we don't play with split halves and give Jake the freedom to run the show from both sides of the pitch.

He's practically doing that from fullback now and it'd be a shame to reduce his influence by having him stuck on one half of the pitch.

Only problem with us signing all these players where is the money coming from? Pearson already stated we will have to cut back. All well and good saying yea we will have these highly contracted players. What about giving Litten etc a chance?

I still think we'll spend up to cap next season.

Alot of out top earners are OOC this season.

As an example we should still be able to shuffle things around:
In: Trueman, French, Mellor, QCup/NSWCup hooker
Out: Reynolds, Shaul, Houghton, JJ

French and Truman in

out

Reynolds, Gale, Shaul, Bowden and Johnston.

French and Truman replace Reynolds and Gale.

Young kids replace the other three.

Improve the 17 and save some money.

Beat me to it

Signing an exciting fast full back like French would put a couple of thousand on the gate.

Eh?
