rumor was we were talking to Te'o but talks broke down. no idea why.
Here's a list of backrowers off contract for next season. Considering we need a aggressive second rower who can cause carnage on the edges, there isn't much there.
Austin, Taumalolo have re-signed. Can't see our backrow weakness being fixed next year
Second-rowHarlan Alaalatoa, Blake Austin, Matt Bell, Scott Bolton, Lewis Brown, Michael Chee Kam, Anthony Cherrington, Boyd Cordner, Michael Crocker, Aidan Guerra, Nathan Hindmarsh, Chris Houston, Josh Jackson, Ethan Lowe, Todd Lowrie, Micheal Luck, Simon Mannering, Sika Manu, Jake Marketo, Tyson Martin, Sam Mataora, Mark Minichiello, Junior Moors, Kyle O'Donnell, Tyrone Peachey, Daniel Penese, Eddy Pettybourne, Steve Rapira, Robbie Rochow, Shane Shackleton, Ashton Sims, Ukuma Ta'ai, Zeb Taia, Jason Taumalolo, Ben Te'o, Jarrod Thompson, Ricky Thorby, Atelea Vea, Mark Wade, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves

There is still some value to be had there.
Steve Rapira is probably the best in terms of youth/talent/aggression but Brown is a good, balanced option.
There are some decent picks in the likes of Pettybourne, Guerra, Bolton, Houston, Luck, Mannering, Ta'ai and Taia. None are superstars but they are for the most part a cut above the majority of our backrow.
Cordner, O'Donnell and Peachy are the best of the young backrowers there.
Chris Houston and Jared Waerea-Hargreaveshttp://www.nospam8/rugby-league/nrl/players/jared-waerea-hargreaves/ out of that group at the right price.
According to Stagger we aren't looking at him or Sika Manu.
I think Aaron Payne and Matt Ballin are off contract for 2013...it wouldn't hurt to make an offer to either of them.
But we're looking at Lussick? Did anyone see him play last night. He did absolutely NOTHING...again.
Lussick is a poor man's Carl Webb. But he got into a fight once. Cannot believe the hype over this bloke to be honest.
If you know who we are not looking at, then the ones left over would be who we are looking at.

He's been shit all year. Other things on his mind maybe?

No. But it is western Sydney, deal done weeks ago.
Cronk is going nowhere, will resign with Storm.
Mason will be the dud signing of the decade, for who ever the fools are that fall in.
