Cas player - Announced Monday

Polynesian Forward - Announced Wednesday

RU Back. - all done.

Are paying 'Lip Service'?

I'd say Collis is not a great improvement to the team really we have centres of his same capabilities already on our team sheet. Not the player id have from wakey really

So Walker or Thompson
Kane Evans
Tom Biggs

I think Collis would be a mark up from what we have.

Me too big fan of his.

I wouldn't say that he's a bad player far from it but not the jump in stature we need to get us into contention to crack the top 4.

Collis to left centre, Yeaman to the back row

Not convinced by either cas player, hope if its walker it's not at the expense of lynch.

Hope the NRL forward is a Manu type player.

I'd be really pleased if the RU back is Biggs, think he will go really well in league.

It's a case of who is available that can improve the team. Collis would do that and what TKOAH says re Yeaman could possibly work. It's impact in the pack that I think we need most - Moa and Manu were never replaced. Paea will help.

Weren't we in for Biggs before he moved to Newcastle RU

Edited for truth. Hopefully.

Yeah suppose that's true we do need a lot more strike force and ALOT more muscle. I just don't know about Collis it seems to me to be going the same route as average. Maybe average is harsh because I don't think he's that bad but don't think he's that far off average

You know I don't disagree wholeheartedly mate



That said maybe he could do a cover job in the forwards.

Can't see it being Kane Evans, although I really hope it is. Fitzy's played a blinder for us if it is.

Biggs will do very well in League and I'd happily exchange Lynch for Walker.

I'd wait a couple of weeks into the nrl season and offer Newcastle some £££££ for Dobson because he won't get a sniff at there first team and is too good not to be playing . .

Kane Evans would be an outstanding signing. Can't see it though.

AP has confirmed an 'international winger from another code' and a 'polynesian forward' at the POTY awards dinner, so Biggs seems likely.

Obviously it's not like for like in terms of young player in for older experienced forward out.
I'm interested to know how much you've seen of Walker to think that he can replace Lynch's workload.
I'm not saying he can't but I certainly haven't seen enough of him - just curious to know how much evidence you have
that he can. I think it's important because when we lose the likes of Lynch and Omeley our defence falls away alarmingly.

Isn't Evans Fijian?

Cap? Quota?

Galea told me last weekend in Swanland that the Lynch swap with Walker is done and dusted.

There is also a "HUGE" prop forward coming over too.

Yeaman now needs to go in the second-row and a fast centre brought in as a priority.

I'd happily exchange because I would happily exchange Lynch's work rate for the aggression that Walker has. It's more player type than individuals.
For Lynch's stats might be impressive, he was poor in the first half of the year and has missed a few very poor tackles. I think the times right to move him on, especially if he can get two years out of Cas. Carting 2 or 3 players extra yards up the field is a crowd pleaser, but I'd rather some one that hits hard, finds the floor and plays the ball quickly.

Yeaman is too small for a regular spot in the pack. Might do as cover. At a stretch.

Or bog off I'll never play for FC?

Well, that also of course.

Otherwise seems like a plan.
