The usual nasty tripe then Rapido….?

Journeyman? He's had 2 clubs.

OK team so - most on here seem to feel we need a Fus replacement winger and maybe another prop.

So who do we think for wing? I don’t watch NRL so interested in any tips there… as for UK players it looks like we’ll miss on Johnstone and Davies (Johnstone would have been ideal for us).

Looking at who’s available, does Ryan Hall make sense on a one year rolling contract?

Jason Qareqare to join his brother Marcus at Leeds?

There are a couple of decent champ wingers like AJ Towse at York but not sure they’d be considered a big enough upgrade on what we have.

Thoughts?

I wouldn't be surprised to see us interested in Qareqare, given we were rumoured to be interested before - but at only 20 it depends on how Rohan feels about our young kids since Simpson, Lumb and J.Smith are all about that same age
QQ has always looked dangerous with the ball when I've seen him and has a good strike rate in his appearances

If we rate any of our young players as potential starters then I think we sign someone more experienced from the NRL on a two year contract as a placeholder like we did with Frawley at half

I hope some of our young potential wingers can get some games at open age in the championship this season, so we can see where they are at development wise

Jason does seem capable of the odd wonder try. Not Hall for a swansong year and finish his career where it all started…?

Need to get someone who excites fans again. Not another project signing

I wouldn't be against it honestly

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Mon Mar 25, 2024 2:08 pm  

I'd take Hall back in a heartbeat.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Mon Mar 25, 2024 7:43 pm  

Hall for me would be a risk. Wrong end of career and only going to go downhill. Would prob also be a fair whack of salary cap too. Depending on where our own youngsters are at prob go for a winger from aus reserve grade for a couple of years.
