We need a fletcher mullet in the 3/4 line though who can cover fullback in a pinch.

So Scott Drinkwater is coming here. Hope he is worth his insane salary. Last guy we lured here with this kinda coin was a massive disapointment for seven long years.

Shadi only one close to a genuine play maker for mine. LKT next closest, is developing his ball play, took control last week without Kade or Shadi and now looks more confident with ball in hand. Laid on a slick ball to put Treweek into a yawning gap for a six pointer...

Why bother with guys not off contract.

Like drinkwater?

Contracts are pointless now, if someone wanted to sign Gutherson off us we would happily let him go despite him having another year
Sometimes you need to ask the question mate. Worse case the club tells you to buzz off.

I suggested Raider Chase Stewart a fullback who can also cover outside backs. And he will be avail come Nov 1 so no need to pay overs because he is still contracted, like Drinkwater.
But it is a moot point as now Stewart or Fletcher Mullet wont be needed...
Chevy Stewart is unknown mate. Has some talent but comparing him to Drinkwater is crazy. Overs at 950 a season?? Not in my eyes although some would disagree. Scotty can play 1 or 6. Great pick up in my opinion

thats why the cap system is so weighted towards the bigger clubs, the better ur roster, the hotter u r on the field... the more sellable your rejects are..
But as a struggling club, its hard to sell our rejects.. we've been trying for ages to move guys like Sloan and Lawrie on..
But yes ultimately thats where we need to get too... and as Mug said we just have to wear the pain to help get us out of the spot we are in.. its rly only Gutho thats been an issue due to his speed drop-off.. I think Val will be fine once hes settled back on the left and given consistent teammates, and i think Cook has been rly good for us.. so thats not too bad imo.. Drinkwater unless he has massive injuries I think he will be sellable in his last year to ESL potentially cause hes an attacking machine.. thats if we actually want to do that.. he might well be one of our best players still.

I will never stop saying a draft for the NRL would be incredible, we’ll all probably be long gone before all the structures are put in place for it to be possible but it’s something that needs to happen IMO

Could we get sami or drinkwater this year?
I can’t imagine the cows letting Drinky go early.

It'll be tough but maybe if they go on a losing run and want purdue to play fb earlier, they'll be open to moving drinky this season.

Another article today saying parts asking for Sua
Wonder if it will hapoen

Well, I’m sure we’d love KK, Drinky and Sami early but it won’t happen. Why should we help Parra out?? I say screw them and push Su’a into the front row rotation and continue to blood our youngsters into the back row

I really think there could be something in lomax swap for sua

Let him go and get our young backrowers in there. What use could it possibly be retaining him ?
Dragon David

Has not shone as far as I am concerned. Agree for him to go but we should try and get Parra to give up a three quarter to replace him.

Agree Dave, lets see if we could get Volkman
