Whitehead for next year on marquee

Can't see him leaving Canberra. I'm sure they'd find an off field role for him too

35 by the time next season kicks off.
I'd take him for a year though. Would be a good body to have round. Any longer than that, especially on big money, would be too much of a risk for my liking at his age.

I'd take the risk on Shaun Johnson at 34. Not so much Whitehad.

If we haven't even enquired about Shaun Johnson, to his team of people, when he's out of contract, then we're totally ambitionless.

I'd definitely take him for a year but as you say anything more would be a big risk.

Absolutely but think johnson would be out of our league unfortunately but there'd be no harm in making an enquiry.

whitehead is younger than jared waera hargreaves dobbins have signed.he would be an ideal pack leader for a season.

But if we want to be at the top, then we're gonna have to make players of his calibre in our league.

Tom Johnstone, another one up for grabs, we could do with a quality winger. Are we going in for him or do we sit back and let our opposistion have him

Would be good but isn't his wife a top netball player over there, they'd be giving up two good careers.

The trouble and strife sounds like she'd be a great asset to the Hull Chevrons.

34 year old Tariq Sims...27 year old Okunbor, I know which one I'd rather have signed this season
