Not sure how we could afford both, but we can dream! Exactly the kind of punch we could do with down the middle. You never know, he might decide now is the right time for a bit of an adventure.

There’s a bit of whack about that front row. Would be great for Tommy and Mik to learn from them.

He said a few years ago he’d love to play for Leeds and met with GH and had a tour around the ground. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he came to us.

I have to say that would a superb squad for me.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Thu Sep 16, 2021 6:30 pm  

I'll be brutally honest here - I doubt this will happen in the off season.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Thu Sep 16, 2021 6:35 pm  

Now that would be a perfect signing.
What a front row that would be.
Mik
Tetevano
Prior
Taupau
Tommy
Hopefully releasing Hurrell, King, Sutcliffe and maybe L Briscoe frees up enough cap space.
As many have said, we must replace King.
Just not sure whether we can afford a Taupau to do it though.

I’d think we could…

Hurrell > Sezer - less salary
Lui > Austin - less salary
Martin - less new contract
Vuniyayawa > Bentley - more salary
Sutcliffe, Mclelland, Briscoe leave. I would let Thompson leave if it meant getting Taupau under too

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Thu Sep 16, 2021 8:40 pm  

Surely most of the NRL would be interested in him. He's still one of the best in the game.

Yes, I would be very surprised if we could afford Taupau without some more cuts.

Next year is interesting- I wouldn’t be surprised if we let go Myler, Dwyer, T Briscoe, Gale, Mellor, Martin, Thompson, Austin… maybe not all of them but they would all be under pressure. Would like to see contract extensions for a couple of the younger players.

We keep saying it but there is a cracking roster of talented young lads coming through together now. Gannon in particular has had a break out year this year, I expect Edwards should be thereabouts next year.
