Only if they were ‘approved’

Cartwright jnr signing is a bit of a gamble for a player with only around 30 top flight appearances at 27, maybe a hint of nepotism with this acquisition .
As for the Stewart, no NRL first grade games , even more of a gamble for a quota spot for a player who could be classed as a "project" . He may of course be an inspired signing , time will tell of course.

The recruitment is patchy at best so far. Asiata clearly the pick of the bunch. Abdul could be OK if he gets, and stays, fit, but otherwise a mix of unknown overseas lower graders, ageing players from leigh and a couple of younger fed trained who may come good or may not. 6 out of 10 so far for me..

One of the most important appointments we need to make is head of S&C. Cartwright big on fitness but he won't be doing the training himself so we need a top class person in there

Surely Carlos T says goodbye on a marvellous FC career and John Cartwright needs a proper marquis Centre or else we can call the recruitment light-medium weight

We used to sign Swains and Berrigans at hooker

No one makes that type of signing in SL anymore.
