I'd love to have both Ponga and Cleary in our team. He could help take us to another level that we won't get to with Edwards. Although not for the $1.5m a season his manager is chasing.
Ponga really should be a target of ours, so should lattrel as a fullback but I don’t think they are serious options. Neither are the Turbos from manly or graham.
If RCG has gone we really should aim for a marquee fullback, get Timms from the dragons as a backup and hope leota continues to improve. The fish will be just as dominant as a prop and we have lots of second row options if we can get Yeo back to his best.
If JWH signs for us I am calling it now, it will be close to the worst signing in our history, it will be just like packer or mauatlino for the tigers.
The freight we must be paying on RCG, DWZ and Blake must add up to a decent amount for next year at least.
We can’t afford to spend $$$ on old players who won’t improve.
Hopefully we go marquee or bank the cash for upgrades for the likes of creighton, burns and leinu if they kick in.
