Wasn’t our very first target under Myler to bring in a centre? Perham I think was in talks. Since then we’ve probably had about 6 months of non stop searching and about 4 quota spots open at one stage and we’ve not managed to bring in a specialist centre. I’m pretty sure that says there’s nobody in our price range available so I doubt we’ll be suddenly paying off Sao or anyone else to create a quota spot to bring in a centre.

I get the impression he’ll be going but I really hope we keep Walker. Even if the plan is for Rapana at fullback I think Walker has the skills to be a decent centre.

Davidson linking us with a super league half back, but don’t know if it’s just Cust but it’s behind a pay wall.

Fages was rumoured earlier this week

Perham is mainly a fullback, thought it was odd at the time, but that's looks like it's been the plan, him, Stewart, Sailor and now Rapana.

With Morgan Smith leaving it would be ideal to have some cover (I don't know who it is behind the paywall)

Sign Fages, dont sign one of Cust or Seizer, sign a quota centre

Cust will be the cover if he signs

Don't get why we'd sign Fages, he's a decent player but not in a position we need, it would leave us with Sezer, Abdul, Cust and Fages along with Balmforth and Borough for 3 positions and I can see any of them wanting to be backup.

Think Cust signed a long time ago unfortunately.
