None, but that's not saying much.
Anyone's thoughts on Humphreys from Souths for halfback, not elite but has potential and possibly Drinkwater Brimson for fullback.

Drinkwater great attack but ordinary defence

Drinkwater great attack but ordinary defence

Storm FB in the same boat but Bellamy will coach that out of him or move him on depsite his attacking ability.

That is the difference between the best coaches (ruthless) and those that just survive.

Isako to the Storm we get Sami

Given Sloan may find a way to another club in 2026

given Dufty ran for 250m last week in ressies and two try assists

would it be insane to try and bring Dufty into our squad for 2026/27 if this could happen with Souths ?

the smaller super quick FB seems to suit the fast past 6 again 2026 footy

Much as I used to enjoy watching the occasional razzle dazzle from Dufty, if we want to be a top 8 contender we need to be aiming a lot higher than him.

Don’t want to loose Hamish for the game or 15 minutes

I seen Hamish get a slight head knock half way through the game and looked rattled. Unfortunately I think he is going to end up like Jake turbo, head knocks just rattle them more then others.

I’d take that in a heartbeat

Yep, there are plenty of very good fullbacks who are ordinary in defence, which I would take any day of the week. For example, every club would take Reece Walsh in a heartbeat, but his defence is terrible.

Have you seen Gutho defending lately?

Not surprising after the woeful start to this season… if it is for Dean Young however that will be enough for me and I am gone.

Would love Ben Hornby
He has done a good apprenticeship

 

[saints4ever]

Id love John Morris

I would have thought the Titans loss was the final nail in his coffin.

He tied himself to Kyle and Lawrie and Gutho etc and they will all sink together.

 

[Reddragon]

I‘d like someone from the Penrith system as the long term coach.

 

[dragonfire]

Has to be a full clean out of the coaching staff if they give Flanno the flick.
Since Carr left the attack and set plays have gone.
the first three games I would give the coach a pass as players were making mistakes and terrible decisions but after that game when we had excellent field position through the e first half, all the penalties and Titans mistakes. To watch the aimless attack shows issues with coaching/gameplanning.
For Flanno to say an intercept try was a dagger to us is easy way out. The journos were lenient due to Kyle’s injury

I think he'd be a good fit as long as he bring his assistants.
