His nephew Bryce Cartwright is a regular for Parramatta. After reading his back story on wiki I hope his uncle isn't intending to sell him the dream as well.....

Maybe he will persuade Adam Reynolds to give us a couple of years

If we signed either some would still find a negative slant

too old
Reserve grade NRL player

I wonder if the Lafai link early this season had any substance? Marsters has signed for Salford and as far as I know Macdonald is staying.

You would have to think there's a chance, unless they play Mcdonald on the wing, which I'd think would be a waste.

Got one year left, if we offer him two, you would think he'd want to come, they get some cap money and a quota spot, which they might need as there pack is weak.

Similar to what we did with Sneyd.

I don’t think I’m particularly negative but I think giving someone who’ll nearly be 34 at the start of the season a 3 or even 2 year deal would be too much of a risk. I believe he’s still got a year at Salford so would want a couple of years at least.

Prefer MacDonald but that's not going to happen.

I suppose so unless it's 1 year on a bigger salary with the option of a second year. A step up from what we have now but as with most of the other signings not good to get out of the bottom reaches.

Still massive gaps in next years squad

It's so weak and even worse really lacking any cover.

5 props and 4 2nd rowers in the squad before we have to rely on kids. I can't see 2025 being much different to 2024. Looking at that list I wonder where the hell the salary cap is actually going

Forgot Hooker

Cust
burough
balmforth

Can't really fully evaluate until its finished, particularly the backs where I'd expect the last two quota spots.

Think our pack is along stronger than what we started with. Particularly the back row, going from Lane, Ockunbor, Cator to Holmes, Cartwright, Asista.

Think our squad will be better, but not as much as I'd hoped for.

Can't really blame Myler, no one wants to come, we have to somehow make us an attractive club again.

zero cover in the forwards. 10 senior players, including fash and staveley and we will need 8 or 9 in the 17 every week. We'll be into kids and loanees by week 3 with our injury and disciplinary record

Kids should be used as cover.

Hoping Catwright is some kind of miracle working.

Saw a rumour today that Thorman is coming in as assistant coach.
