Actually I thought Fusitu’a had 2 years subsidised salary from the Warriors. Could be wrong. There are a few seniors who need to step up or leave at the moment it’s fair to say.

When he signed it was revealed we would only be paying part of his contract in the first year then paying all in his second year.Ive no idea how much that is but I presume it's over £150k so he will surely be our second marquee player.

If so and I know we are all guessing on here, we’ve got 2 poor value marquee players.

Marquee players need to play every game and make a difference in each one.

McDonnell is bigger than I thought.

Prior,Tet and Fusitua really haven't done well this year.
Looks like Fusitua has a knee injury that won't heal,Prior is too old to keep up and even when Tet managed to not get banned the best was still just "not bad".

If we haven’t signed said Nene MacDonald yet, Maizen looked handy today.

Sts have a few big forwards better than Tetevano and Makinson is a better winger than Fustiu'a has shown to date. I don't think a winger should be on marquee money anyway, but when you do go big it needs to be for players who make a real difference every game they play. We've got to get these signings right in the future.

Signing a player (who is known to sulk and be a flat track bully) and who is injured with a serious injury is not a perfect signing for us in any way shape or form

TBH thats an extremely "Leeds" signing. Thats the problem.

George Burgess released this morning, doubt any other NRL club will go in for him. Possible return to SL, get him at Leeds and then entice the brother over the year later? No quota issue and could be cheap.
