Gotta take this all with a grain of salt.
The Cowboys are targeting hard for Reynolds, huge contract. They are also interested in Mbye and dont be suprised if Brooks name gets thrown around here too.
Clune is signed until the end of 2022. He's a handy back-up half and a great clubman.
The biggest point here is, if Clune goes to the Cowboys, then to me, that signals a further extention to Norman. Like Reynolds current offer with Souths, a rolling 1yr contract.
Bud needs a fair dose of game time in reggies to even get match fit. Jr Amone is playing SG Ball and last i heard Wishy is on a T&T contract (still?). Yes, these boys are our future and, especially Bud, aren't far away from starring in 1st grade, however, the scenario is that one path will open a door, whilst the other one blocks it.
As for fast Eddie, I'd swap him for Burns, without hesitation, and the fact that he's off contract this year and Penrith showing interest, says more to me that we are looking at established props not rookies so to speak.
Atm Hook has only 2yrs to prove an extention is warranted and he has enough "juniors' to develop. Eddie maybe a too long project, and maybe Hook sees more potential in Coric, Dowel and O'Ofou.
