Also if he was the best centre in SL, shows the gulf, as he could hardly get a game in a badly injured Roosters side.

Naiqama turned up in big games for Saints. Was a good centre but at 34 now it's a gamble from Hudds.

They've signed Bibby too, and Cudjoe is extending. Wonder if they'll keep King?

Just seems someone they don't need

How can he have been "probably the best by a distance"? That makes no sense.

Carling??

Signing crazy at the moment.

Think Duffy will do really well in SL.

Kevin N is a strange signing, will be 34 at the start of next season.

On the field Dufty is made for SL, think he will have the same impact Field has however some of the things he has said about not wanting to come over here and being too good for SL should be massive red flags.

Brandon Wakeham been linked with Wire on twitter.

Really hope we looking to replace Ma’u with similar type of player. Shown the last few games how much his aggression is missed in both attack and D.
If Wakey go down then Tanginoa would be ideal.

Agree, think we also need a hooker (unless we go with Lovodua and Balmforth) and another prop, as not sure Evans is good enough, Taylor looked finished and Sao gets banned too much.

I quite like Evans. He’s improved with every game and had a very good first stint on Friday. Was hitting hard and always looking for the offload.
I know he’s not the best but can see he has a good attitude and will to win.
I wouldn’t have minded us going for Mulhern to be honest but looks like he’s on his way to Leigh

I think Evans looks solid, just not sure he is worth an overseas contract, hopefully improve in his 2nd season.

Evans is typical of the recent crop of signings we have made. He simply isn't anything special, a middle of the road player. He's a plodder. We are where we because our squad is full of these. It's now a bang average squad being coached by a bang average coach.
