I’d take Josh Morris.
Moylans still learning how to play 5/8 and Josh Morris would be the equal to any of them defensively and would help in Moylans learning curve.
No doubt we have a couple of promising youngsters that will get a run next year but even the great centres have defensive worries early on.
Remember Steve Rogers and Andre Ettingshausen in their first couple of years.
Both had defensive issues but by the time they finished their careers they were both great defenders.
Morris would be the type that would really help the youngsters with the transition.
Not to say Dugan won’t but Morris has something to offer.

Isaako is off contract he could play centre
Hayne Yep i am going to say it if on reasonable coin, he can cover centre/fullback and possible half
Will Hopoate The Bulldogs would release him and he would go well at the Sharks

TOOHEY'S NEWS | Sharks attempting to hijack Newcastle Knights' bid to sign Sydney Roosters star Blake Ferguson
Cronulla is threatening to rain on Newcastle’s parade and hijack the Knights’ bid to sign Sydney Roosters winger Blake Ferguson.


In an ironic twist, Newcastle’s successful raid on the Sharks, that snared outside backs Jesse Ramien and Edrick Lee, may come back to bite them with Cronulla poised to make a last ditch play to secure Ferguson because of their thinning backline stocks.

Suddenly, a three-way battle for Ferguson’s signature involving the Knights, Parramatta and the Roosters has just got a little more complicated with the Sharks now circling.

We’re told Shane Flanagan met with Ferguson privately a few days ago and pleaded with him not to make a final decision on his future until the Sharks coach returns home from Auckland following last night’s clash against the Warriors.

Cronulla’s 11th hour bid has Knights insiders more than a little nervous but still hopeful the club’s offer will be good enough to entice him north.

Why Flanagan thinks it’s a good idea to re-unit Ferguson and Josh Dugan is anyone’s guess.

But as it stands, the Knights are offering Ferguson a lucrative three year deal, the chance to buy a house for the first time and work opportunities outside of football in the indigenous community when his career finishes.

Ferguson’s manager Sam Ayoub is believed to be chasing four years for the 28-year-old but Newcastle isn’t budging and he is unlikely to get that deal at any other club.

We’re told the Roosters offer, at this stage, is for just one year and they will struggle to get near the money the Knights are talking.

In the Roosters’ favour is Ferguson has made it known his first preference is to remain at Bondi.

Knights halfback Mitchell Pearce, a close mate of Ferguson, has been working the phones, hoping to help get the deal over the line but even he is not sure which way it will go.

Anyone else worried that Flanno seems desperate to sign Fergo?
The only reason he'd take an offer from us over Newcastle would be if Flanno offers the desired 4 year contract and he's silly enough to do it.

A 28yr old Fergo on a 4 year contract.
