Not sure how much truth there is to the rumour but I’d rather we kept Ross, we’ve only got one more winger on the books (Edrick Lee) than we did last year so it’s not like our depth is that much better on the wing. Besides while Ross showed this year he’s not a great centre I still rate him as a solid first grade winger, he’s a good finisher and makes good metres out of dummy half and can cover FB if we’re stretched.
People have mentioned maybe Watson to #9 but I don’t know how his defence would hold up in that spot, I’d rather have him at FB where he can sniff around the ruck for offloads and use his speed to good effect.
Lino is a good signing imo. Upgrade on Lamb/Cogger and hopefully we can bring in another half (maybe Frawley) to give us some extra depth. The fact that he’s a good goal kicker is interesting, Sio and Ponga need some serious practice over the off season if either of them wants to keep the job full time.
Also would like to see us go after Segyaro, he’s got some similarities to Levi in the way he plays but at least he’s been around a while and wouldn’t cost as much as Luke. If anything having another first grade quality hooker in the squad will push Levi to play his best every week and cut out the crap in his game. If the two of them both hit some form then a rotation of Levi and Segyaro would be really dangerous imo.
