Casty. Would only be a short term squad filler we would ideally still require another front line prop.
Whatever I am certain plans are in hand and I have confidence in the management getting the right players in. I think it’s obvious that the pack is priority this time around and maybe concentrate on the backs next year.
Keep faith

I doubt they were ever going to bring in two props if they had kept ava but we certainly need another one now. I assume they've known about ava for weeks so maybe they have their eye on someone.

I probably agree with the finances due to COVID, but from a squad point of view definitely is an argument for needing 2 before Ava left.

Injuries/form permitting (and I know we haven’t seen 1 of them play for more than a season) technically 3 middles have left this year that would have been in our match day squad week in week out, Cuthbo, Crosby and now Ava and so far we’ve just brought in Tetevano so technically still 2 short to be back where we were??

Totally agree with you and that is what I would do if I was god for a day but I think the club wanted 4 props plus prior if/when needed to cover.

We were linked with him 2/3 weeks back.

I can see why the Gavet rumours could be true they need to release an overseas player hudds as they have Cogger, Sezar, Edwards, Mcqueen, Ta'ai, Gavet, Leutele and Yates so they currently have 8 overseas players. Gavet maybe wouldn't be a bad replacement for Seumanufagai.

I dont have Sky sports so haven't seen much of Gavet this season has he been any good?

Not in the games I’ve seen. Came over on a wedge and a big reputation that I don’t think he’s lived up to. Giants been looking to offload him and his big salary. They currently have 8 overseas players so need to lose one so Gavet could happen

Maybe worth a punt although I cant see us offering big money and it would take our overseas spot.

Maybe they would finance some of his wage just to move him on? Is Darcy Lussick still in the UK? He seems solid enough
