What’s the info with this? Is he willing to sit out his contract or agreed elsewhere? It seems that’s 2 seasons in a row Brisbane have been willing to move him on surprised if he stayed.

| Been a lot of confdent people across social media that we are signing Sailor, and now the news that we are making a play for Lam.
Unfortunately a very real reality that we will end up with neither be back at square one.
Would be overjoyed with just 1 of them

When we desperately needed a half for this season Tony Smith said we don't want to rush in and sign someone who is not a good fit. We need to be patient.
Thank turned out well!

Heard the same, stark reality of where we are. Hence why we are having to throw money at Lam. As a pessimist we will get neither.

| If we have set our sights on another half back, then we need to need to land Lam. Sailor, if he has chosen Saints, then we can probably find another overseas full back from the plethora of talent they have in that position over there. A half back, non-quota who knows SL, that isnt easy to find

If that's the case I'll need to slap my contact with a herring, he isn't usually too far wrong and had told me a deal was done with Sailor and not far off on Lafai but such is life and we are where we are.
However if we can indeed temp Lam to sign then that would more than temper Sailor going elsewhere, plus leave still leave us with 2 quota spots.
All is not lost as there is still a hell of a long way to go before the start of the 2025 season, think Cartwright Snr will certainly have a big impact on us regardless and hopefully make use of the remaining quota spots with some quality.

| It is becoming increasingly tiring watching us miss out on key targets, Lam will be a brutal one.
On the bright side, we have (currently) one of the young SL players of the year in Moy, a lot of pressure on young shoulders but he's progressing and making a bold statement of being our starting Full Back for 2025 so far.
A spine of Moy, Lam, Abdul, Cust and Asiata would have me thinking top 6 is on the cards.
A spine of Moy, Cust, Abdul, Borouh and Asiata would have me thinking another season of failure.

| When it comes to recruitment linking us with big names my motto is "prepare to be disappointed" and I usually am.

Fair enough, big blow. I was sure if we got him he’d be playing 6 and it looks like that’s maybe playing out now. It’d Trueman is moving on it means we are now back into the notoriously hard market for a quality half we not many realistic options available.

| If we don't get Sailor, I'd forget FB, stick with what we have. Use the two quota spots on a halfback (presuming we don't sign Lam) and a centre. If we get Lam another forward.
Just feels like a move by Lam like his Dad, get more money from Lam, buy can Leigh match Hulls offer, suprised he isn't already a marquee player.
Not sure why Catalans would move for him with Keary signed and Fages, also have Rouge who is a good player.

If we keep Walker then I'll be satisfied with that. I'm not Walker's biggest fan but he's steady and reliable and keeping him would free up a quota place. Moy is promising but he's not ready to be first choice next season in my opinion. Litten can also play there but going forward I think centre will be his favoured position. Attacking wise I thought he impressed last week. Of course all this will be immaterial if Walker leaves which is likely then we'll need a new FB.

Think Walker is too expensive to be a back up, I'd go with Moy, with Litten and Hardraker as backups.
Give Moy the number 1 shirt, sign Lam or halfack to replace Trueman, who I can't see being here next year.
