| Quote: GrahamBray "Swift is solid, reads the game well and reliable, not spectacular, as Ratu was, but Ratu's injury record, age and wage would be the issue.
Mini and Ellis were both schooled in fitness and recovery by top NRL conditioning staff and Ellis wasn't signed in 2016, if anything, he got fitter after his initial foot injury, ironically during the warm up for his debut at Leeds.
I'd rather spend on a nasty hard running front rower and a decent backrower, particularly as we have Baron to come back into the fold after his baptism of fire, last year. Personally, Mitch would be my pick over Macintosh, who looks like a startled rabbit when under pressure and is decidedly weak in defence, with his pace only really average, not as rapid as Marshall or even Ethan Ryan.'"
People bang on about ratu been 32 but swift is 30
People bang on about ratus injuries but likes of savelio and Carlos spend alot of time in the stands
My point was ellis best season with us was 2016 imo was huge and his age wasn't a issue

| I thought Ratu wanted to be near his family , It would seem strange for him to move back up North . Best winger we've had at the club for some time .

Yes Swift is 30 but he wasn't when we signed him and he's been a good signing
Yes Savelio has had a few injury problems prior to signing him but that reflected n his intial deal & Carlos has been fairly injury free during his time with the club, only really his Achilles that's kept him out for a long period. Both are under contract so the relevance is totally different in signing a player that has had injury issues. If Ratu were to be signed I;d hope any deal reflected this in same way with Dre at the time.
Ellis along with Mini as GrahamBray mentioned were the epitome of players who looked after themselves and took fitness seriously, you could add Menzies to that bracket but not many others such is the rarity of players at the top level being freakishly fit past 30.

| Would snatch Ratu back - scored some of the best tries at this club throughout his time here - often from nothing.
Put some massive defensive hits in too.
Would be a salary cap bonus as recruited from RU wouldn't he ?
Still like Swift but more workmanlike than Ratu, as ever it will come down to the best opffer ?

Have you read the earlier posts? 18 months out injured and 2 years down the line. He had his chance, went to Onion for cash. Never go back is the watch word, very few times it works.

| I'd maybe be having a look at Daniel Smith at Cas, can't imagine he'd be too expensive and would be a decent replacement for Evans (should he leave) he'd be a decent 4th/5th choice prop with a good offload and decent go forward.

| I think the only player I'd sign from Cas Currently would be Evalds but We're covered in that Fullback position . Unless sign him as a winger .

If available I'd rather have Qareqare but unsure of his contract situation.
