Waste of money on the wing.

I imagine Crookes and Colbon are leaving but we will have three wingers in Talanoa, Lineham and Lancaster on the books. Waste of money bringing anyone else in.

If Crooks refuses to sign an extension to his contract,
better spent on another centre.

I hope Talanoa is seen as a utility back. Could be a very good bench player.

No one has a utility back on the bench these days.

If Crooks leaves, he's not going to be one of those players that comes back to haunt us.
I haven't really seen much to show how he'll develop into a quality player.

Well, that's it then, let's not bother.

I disagree. He wasn't named Young SL Player of the Year for nothing.

How do you work that out? We have a injury hit young kid in Lineham..a utility who is not an out an out winger in Talanoa...& a kid who will be 18 & still wet behind the ears in Lancaster.

Personally I'd like to see us give more of the U19's a try out (Stark for example) if necessary rather than bring an NRL/SOO winger in that will likely take up a decent amount of our cap. There's other areas of the team that need strengthening more than our wings. In fact our wings are just fine.
