Offer Shaun Johnson the player/coach role. Anything to get a player of his calibre out on the field for us.

We had a player/coach the last time we won at Old Trafford.

The way he is playing, I don't see him not playing NRL for at least another season.

I don 't think player coach would work these days.

I've had a quick look at the NRL reserve league squads and there are a few players who stand out in the scrum half and centre position.

Centre
Nick Cotric
Bailey Hodgson
Brad Parker
Reece Hoffman

Scrum half
Adam Cook
Tannah Boyd
Toby Sexton
Sean O Sullivan

Saw Brooksy post something but was unsure if it was a wind up

He is often in the know through the meat man, but has a history of wind ups.

Has a name been mentioned or just that we're close (rumoured) to a new signing?

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Wed Apr 17, 2024 11:04 am  

No names mentioned, think it's all a wind up tbh

Perham wouldn’t be a bad signing for the future but not sure he’s the answer to what we need now. Would have to play centre for us

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Wed Apr 17, 2024 11:34 am  

Good player would do well in SL, as said above would have to be at centre, where he has played alot of rugby.

Probably an overseas 7 and a couple of domestic forwards.

I feel as if they’re reluctant to get a mid season 7 as less quality about. Think we’ll see a quota back rower come in and then a 7 will replace Carlos.
