With Rush down under to recruit then he must know how much money he's got available so will be certain who is leaving.
So who will it be? Hohaia, Masoe, Walsh? Or all three?
Quality players from the NRL are very expensive and ordinary players don't come cheap.

Who have you heard as likely targets?

I'd say all 3 if I was a betting man. As weird as it may sound I think Walsh may be the most likely to stay as he may not do enough this year to earn a NRL deal. Maybe that is wishful thinking though.

Back to your question I think all 3 will probably go and we will have plenty cap and quota space to play with.

Not much in the of rumours just yet. Or if there is then my usual sources are quiet.

We should be looking at Justin Carney and Albert Kelly. Pay a nice transfer fee for them both.

I hate Carney. Fat, lazy, useless lump of lard. He's not a Saints player.

Albert Kelly is an interesting call. Very quick, very talented, but would quickly become our scapegoat I feel. He has more than the odd mistake in him.

I don't care - having another winger called Albert would make my day.

Kelly isn't a winger, he's a half back.

Top 10 for penalties conceded, top 5 for errors and top missed tackles so far is quite a bit more than an odd mistake! Agreed on Carney.

IF were looking at the chequebook, (and there's nothing to suggest the recent trend will be bucked), I'd like to go for some longer term options. Joe Mellor springs to mind.

Mellor isn't a bad shout. He looks like he has a lot about him and could thrive at a bigger club with better players.

Theo Fages would be a better, cheaper replacement for Lance in my opinon. Could cover the halves and at hooker.

You most certainly will be in need of one as this is Wellos last season.
