I'd be very happy with Boyd, 2nd time I've asked today Callum, but where did you read that, can't find anything on Twitter.

He is the type of signing we should be making, not quite good enough to play halfback regularly in the NRL, but too good for Queensland cup, would go well here.

Not sure which club would sign him though inn the NRL.

I don't know anything about him but he's only 24 and has played 68 NRL first grade games. That's the kind of level we should be looking at.

Just seen on twitter we're signing Aidan Sezer

Would be massively underwhelmed.

We want a young non quota marquee (Lam)
Let a young non quota half leave (Trueman)
Sign an old Quota Aussie (Sezer)

He’s gone well in his limited game time and in 2 years he would be non quota but the blokes 33 already.

Would mean we would have to bring a Marquee fullback in as I can imagine the club signing a marquee centre.

I’d much rather us take a punt on a young unknown half with a get out clause

Undecided on Sezer, had some great games at Leeds but was also invisible in others. He'd only be here for a year or two which could help us settle the ship and realistically is there anything better out there?

Absolute shambles... This indicates there is no investment. Apparently Sezer played under Cartwright before, at Gold Coast . https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... er-9515557

Sezer is a huge improvement on what we have, ideally would have preferred someone younger, but he's an experienced head to lead the team around.

He was unreal at Huddersfield when he first came over, but not great at Leeds so who knows how he'll go.

The 'alleged' approach to Lam, as a marquee player.
then it appears they are in negotiations with a 33 year old HB.
Surely if there is marquee money available, it is used to sign a spine player

How about there are non knocking about or are unwilling to come to us despite us offering big money.I thought 7 was a spine player and it it’s Sezer then he is a spine player
