My issue is signing deadwood if it was someone who was going to be a genuine competitor for a shirt then fine.
Evans on ANY of your lists doesnt look any better he's finished done a PT has been.

But if Evans plays and gets smashed or we ship 40 points down his side then it isn’t the end of the world. He is disposable at the end of the season isn’t he? Those young lads are people we may want to build into a team for 7-10 years so getting smashed or shipping loads of points 3-4 weeks in a row could significantly damage them couldn’t it.

Apparently linked with a striker (Augustin) on loan at Monaco according to Phil Hay. Meant to have good pedigree and its serious interest

I'd prefer Walmsley, given the choice

I said who is available. I am sure you appreciate that if somebody is under contract and the side who have that contract do not want to release them whatever we do, or anybody else does, it really doesn’t matter does it.

So I will say again give me a name, or a couple of names of players you think are available, want to come to the Uk and make us better.

Fans arnt privy to players situations, willingness to move, or availability so asking them to name players who fit that criteria is pointless and proves nothing.

Did any of us know Rhyse Martin fit the criteria a week before we signed him?

Ryan Shaw.

Playing for Carnegie who haven't won all season.

Scored a lot of points for KR and can kick

We need a winger.

Worth a pop?

If fans aren’t privy to players situations, willingness to move or availability then what is the point in having a transfer thread? What is the point in even talking about players until they are signed and announced? What would be the point in saying oh we haven’t signed anybody, surely if we don’t know anything and can’t know then we should just sit and wait for the club to announce things

Theres no ifs about it, Fans arnt privy to that information, especially in relationship to NRL players. You consistently asking fans to name players who fit a criteria as if it proves something is absolutely pointless, regardless of how many times you say it.

The point of a transfer thread is to discuss players we'r linked with, discuss players we like, discuss players we want rid of etc...Not provide a factual list of available and willing players from the other side of the world.

We'v got a very recent NRL signing who none of us had a clue was a viable option until basically the day we signed him, just to give an example of how pointless it is asking fans to name players who are available and willing to come over, we just dont know, thats the clubs job to know.

For what its worth, im happy with the re-shaping of the squad and agree that waiting for the right player is more important than rushing to get someone in for the sake of it.
