With Luke Walsh being the main general. Lomax and Moltzen would float around the pitch just like Wellens and Lomax are doing at the minute.

It would be a very good buy IMO.

No player can be judged by the NRL. Clint Greenshields and Ben Farrar are crap in the NRL yet looked super impressive over here.

And if its true then either Laffranchi or Hohiah is out of here. I personally hope its Laffranchi, do not mind him but we have plenty of second rowers. I'd rather play Luke Thompson then we can have Hohiah on the bench.

1. Lomax
6. Moltzen
7. Walsh
9. Roby
13. Wilkin

15. Hohiah

He started his career at 6 apparently and then was moved to fullback. I'm told he's good in attack but not so good in defence.

If he comes it will be to play 6 I reckon as lomax is pretty much nailed on for FB.

If does suggest that one of our quota players is leaving since it's full with Walsh, Masoe, Soliola, Hohaia and Laffrachi. Considering that boof signed a new deal if seems likely that Hohaia is the one who could be gone?

Boof's deal still hasn't been confirmed, so you never know. There's also been talk of Rovers being interested in Lance.

I would also be more confident in Moltzen at 6. He was moved to full back as the Tigers had no one else.

Of course boof has just gone home for a while hasn't he? But I was going by the fact we would be swapping like for like so it would suggest that it's Hohaia who may leave for Moltzen

Moltzen is also twice the player Rhys Hanbury is, yet people would love Saints sign Rhys.

West Tigers fans say his got plenty of potential but is too soft, Super League is lee intense so might be a perfect fit.

Moltzen has had two knee reconstructions in the last couple of years.

Get him signed then!

This story smacks of an injured player going on holiday to meet some old friends and a section of the media putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 26

Why would we want to sign a fullback when we have Lomax, Swift (winning MOM awards weekly at Whitehaven)Wello, Makinson and also Hohoia who can fill that position.

Were we are weak next season is standoff.
At present we will have either Hohoia or Wheeler to cover that spot.
