Is MacDonald the centre we need? Imagine he’ll be another 2 year deal?

Wakefield were apparently interested in Lisone. Maybe they'll be open to taking Prior with us covering some of his wage

I still think either Prior or Fusitua will leave.
Leigh are one overseas player over quota aren`t they?


Sam is best buddies with Fusitua and mentions hooking up with him and Rohan again as key reasons why he’s signed so I doubt Fus is going anywhere

Very happy with this signing. We need a big impact prop. Smith knowing him is a big positive. As others have said it’s about as good an nrl signing as you’ll get these days. The perceived speed of the move seems to suggest we’ve been working on this a while and I suspect we’re not done yet.

Looks like we'll see a very different prop rotation next year. With Lisone, Sangare and Holroyd you have a set of props who will add real oomph to what was a really powder puff front row. We might also see a more aggressive defensive structure as well - the more passive version was probably about conceding we couldn't hold the middle rather than a sustainable strategy.

We definitely look short of a centre, and we don't have a lot of depth at halfback. Myler is probably OK as first reserve halfback if Hooley is solid, but after that its Sinfield or Cam Smith.

With 2 shorter minutes impact props it'll be interesting to see how Smith starts and rotates. Neither are starting players and you wouldn't imagine bringing both sangare and lisone on together.

This is as good an NRL signing as we’re going to get until next year when we have real cap. I think it’s very much the right type of prop we need: we can now rotate hard running props that will take route one.

We overplayed the idea of the mobile forward pack with the 6-again rule in my view and it just didn’t work.

To be fair we were looking to bring in a prop last year in the off season but there was very little available.

Happy with signing Lisone it seems a decent move.

Oledzki Tetevano Prior Holroyd Sangare Lisone Walters only Oledzki and Tetevano stand out as starters although i'm not really a fan of Tet starting doubt Prior will be used much at all if all stay healthy.

I don't think you'd want to have Tetevano and Oledzki on the field together too often. Very little go-forward and too lightweight in defence against big packs. I'd see those two spelling each other and the rest spelling between themselves so you always have an impact prop alongside one of them.

With Sangare, Lisone and a fit Holroyd we could move Tet back to LF
