Remember when some people thought Naden was a good replacement for Blake?

Was never that straight forward.

Naden would be on Katoa's wage.

Losing Blake allowed us to get Koroisau

It is where to spend the money. Like DWZ. He isn't a bad player but we need that money elsewhere.

I will comment when the squad is finalised but if we have a better squad next year then it was a good decision

You can’t know it was losing Blake specifically that allowed us to sign Apisai. We first lost DWZ, it was very likely Maloney was moving on, likely Ivan planned a big cleanout. You’ve talked about that yourself.

We know now we’re in the market for a centre.

Do we? I haven't heard anything outside this forum.

I doubt Maloney was signed expecting to play in 2020. So the cap would say as much.. So lets look at the other 3 that is gone.

I didn't think anyone was dumb enough to take RCG. For me a centre is the final piece of about 4 or 5 we need. So why not take the offer that comes up? The quicker money is freed up the quicker the roster gets fixed

Even if you’re right, they could’ve moved on Edwards, Whare, Mansour or a combination of the three.

Instead we moved on one of our only strike options.
