With the obsession with getting a BK replacement, we may have to take a backward step & look at the impact the throwing out of the anti tampering could have on our backrow namely choc watmough.
With the inflated market with the increase salarly cap & the gold coast in, next year he will be a in demand commodity. He would command 300 to 350 a season looking at the Nate Myles money, could we pay this if we sign a BK replacement, sure choc has not been up to standard this year but i can see the old choc around the corner.
on signing the two i have heard Jon Wilkin(st helens) & John Williams(parra).
The rest on the players left on the market are tier 2 & the signing process is usually slow.
Here are a few options for signings for Bk or in house options.
1. David Solomona(wakefield) his team ulmost certain to drop down, sure not a worker bu a big imact player could rotate him with willow as his defence is sh*t.
2. Dean Bosnich(pia) sure france not the same as here but a good worker & can break the line, suprised cronulla let him go.
3. chris Mckenna(bradford) looking for aussie return sure a bit old but will do the job & proven rep player.
4.Chris beattie(catalans) a thug a good enforcer for the pack could move kite to 2nd row & move him up front, age a factor.
5.move kite to 2nd row & hope byrant, rose or kylie can do the starting job.
6.Steve Mattai has to put on 8 kgs in off season will it happen a big gamble, has the defence & attack a bit light.
7.adam curtherberson a little green needs a bit more beef as well.
8.jamie lyon could use him as a second 5/8 at lock similar to scott hill for blues however this is big move.
