Loads of names on that. Simon's chequebook could certainly tempt some names over. I'd like to think we'd at least be talking to some of the names from each team.

Brisbane - David Fifita

Manly - Jake Trbojevic

Melbourne - Jesse Bromwich, Felise Kaufusi.

New Zealand Warriors - Peta Hiku (yes. 100% I'd try and tempt him back.)

St. George - Jammer.

Roosters - Jared waerea-hargreaves, Latrel Mithcell (Never in a million years could we get hold of him now. no one outside the NRL could land him but if we get into him and make an impression on him now, who knows? In 7-8 years, he might be tempted.)

No chance any of them except James Graham and Felise Kaufusi would come over here.

Jammer is a Llong way past peak too.

Wouldn’t touch Graham with a barge pole, past his best now and we already have an ageing front row. I’d be more inclined to sign someone young up and coming (a Philbin 2.0) or an experienced prop coming into their prime that can punch holes in the oppositions defensive line.

Not too many Thompson's around.

Another full NRL season takes it's toll. A few may be tempted for the 2021 season.

Re: Rumours 2 : Wed Oct 30, 2019 5:10 pm  

I wouldn't spend marquee money on a prop.

I don't think anybody will disagree with you. It's just a nice thought, and nothing more than that in reality.

Themorei think about it, the more I like the idea of navarette and amor. Stronger than last year without taking a hugely expensive risk.

That's a fair point.
