We’ve supposedly signed Clune, Milnes signed for Leeds?

Not sure they fit our narrative?

Would rather it be some of the others we’ve been linked with.

Ryan Sutton is 27, plays prop & 13, had almost 100 NRL appearances and most importantly is not a quota signing.

I’d be all over him

If as many of us as possible but them on ignore eventually they will give up, seems to have worked with Keith and a few others.

No issues with Mild Rover and others who want to debate rugby and even a bit of banter, but not the other ones.

I’ve been bagged many times for suggesting this, at least don’t quote them when replying.

Wonder what went wrong at Canterbury. I was impressed with him at Canberra.

Definitely worth a look.

(Quote function is playing up for me today)

Narrative is the spin you add afterwards. Making excuses or finding scapegoats when it goes wrong, or making out that there was some sort of genius strategy or positive philosophy underpinning the success to add to the warm glow when it works.

If you start with a restricted idea of how you want to achieve success that just limits your options.

Sign the best players you can, from wherever you can find them, to build the strongest team you can as quickly as you can - that’ll give you the best chance.

He'd be a great signing be our best prop no doubt about it

Even though we've turned it around last 2 months we still have a lot of deadwood and imo need atleast 5 or 6 signings

We won't do anything while likes lane and cator are in our 17 every week just not top level players

Sutton got stretchered off with a serious neck injury last week but he was good at the Raiders but not really an impact prop , Fataila Mariner is decent but struggling for form this year, he’s got pace and good defence , probably would shore up our left edge .
