I see in this morning's Telecrap that the bunnies are targeting Kaufusi and confirming the overtures for RTS!
Kaufusi for 2019 I assume?

Which Kaufusi???I see in this morning's Telecrap that the bunnies are targeting Kaufusi and confirming the overtures for RTS!
Felise. Apparently he's only contracted to the storm for 2018Which Kaufusi???
Is it Felise????
Or Patrick???
I thought both were respectively signed to Storm and Cows....
Has an option in his favour at Storm for 2019.Felise. Apparently he's only contracted to the storm for 2018
I think it’s because each team only has 1 bye but there is also a stand alone SOO match on a Sunday this year so technically that is each teams 2nd byeIn recent years haven't we always had 26 Rounds in the home & away games??
I notice this year there are 25 rds!!????
Does anybody know why this is so??
I don't know that we've fallen away as much as we just haven't had cap space.Kaufusi would be great, some might say even better than keeping Crichton and I'd love to see it happen. However, if true, it won't be easy and we'll be really up against it to pull it off so I won't be suprised if it doesn't work out.
Is anyone able to copy and paste the article in here as I can't view it.
On another note, I do like how the club is starting to kick recruitment up a notch. We have no doubt fallen away at times in that area lately so it's great to see the club coming out and targeting great, established players. That's not to say we'll get them but it's a great sign.
Oh well we'd take him for sure.....Felise. Apparently he's only contracted to the storm for 2018

We grossly overspent to retain certain players and made it impossible to rebuild effectively.
It is fantastic to see us able to chase some quality players though.
Kaufusi would be a perfect replacement for Anus.
If we get Tuivasa-Sheck we could shift Inglis to centre without losing the power on kick returns that G.I gives us, which is vital to giving us momentum early in the set, meaning our big forwards can hit the ball at pace instead of from a standing start (making it harder for teams to gang tackle the twins)
Kafusi would be a great buy. 25 years old in his prime hits like a sledgehammer and runs as hard as anyone. Hits a nice hole as well.
We should make him a long term deal too good to refuse.

D not do a bad job of that with anus last year!lba's were one of his stronger statsWe need someone to put him through a hole first
There has to be a mixture though and I think the club is realising that by trying to target some experienced first graders for 2019..I definitely think they’ve improved recruitment in general though. Targeting the younger players is a much better strategy for long term success. We have definitely learned since 2014

No doubt we have quite a bit of cash to spend but it needs to be used wisely...
Murray and Fui need to be locked down pronto plus any other young kid that's a star....Spot on. The flip side of recruitment is retention. If we where bad at recruitment over the last few seasons, we really sucked at retention. The wisdom needed is to get this balance right.
If we lose Murray and/or Fui, I'll be even more gutted than when Crichton announced he was leavingMurray and Fui need to be locked down pronto plus any other young kid that's a star....
I can't see Murray going anywhere but the longer things are left it's frustrating...If we lose Murray and/or Fui, I'll be even more gutted than when Crichton announced he was leaving
