Carvell is of little interest now, what I'd like to know is who we're going to replace him with. Ben Evans would seem the most likely but I'd still like to have seen somebody with a bit of aggression brought in. I suspect we will have to make do with what we have and a couple of loan deals though.

Any suggestions on who might be worth a shot? The Mexico rumours seem to have to have dried up long ago now. I assume we must have a full quota spot available also since L'Estrange departed?

What has Clinton Toopi got to do with anything?

I hope we aren't signing him. He is flaps.

Ben Evans might get us by in the short term but not as a replacement for Carvell.

As someone as already said, we seem to have a quota space available, maybe Cummins can have a chat with Mick Potter etc, see who's knocking about outside first grade down under?

As for Mexico, i was impressed with what i saw in the WC but not a clue who he plays for and his situation?

Luke seems to hold down a regular first team spot, as does George. Tom is more on the fringes for Souths

Mexico was still saying he was coming in png papers a week or so ago. Afaik we have one full quota spot plus two non fed trained spots available. Clubs are allowed an extra couple of non fed trained players this year.

I'd welcome Evans back without question, Mexico is a bit of a unknown but he sounds a bit on the small side for a Prop.. in terms of height at least.

Surely RHP must have a number for a big kiwi somewhere just waiting to make a name for himself?

I'd think we'd struggle to get even as. Wire aren't looking as strong up front this year. What about Matt James from Fax or try get a big French prop from their domestic league.
