Rumoured Targets 3

[Mr_Knightside]

Centres are useless until we have a game plan that actually gets the ball to them in a decent position.

I’d take a centre who can defend

 

[The Axe of Druss]

I'd take a centre that can stay on the f**king field

 

[Alex28]

Experienced centre? Sounds like a good plan. I wonder who we are looking at. These days clubs can almost lure players even in contracts.

So who is the best fit for us?

Gagai.

 

[Yosh]

Gagai.

He is a left centre though... Don't want to see him take Best's spot. Also would want a ton of money...

Fair enough. And yeah, Gagai would need to switch and that’s not going to happen.

Dom Young can play right centre? Just need a class winger who knows what they are doing in defence.

Best is never healthy.

 

[Johns Magic]

Best is never healthy.

So what do you propose?

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Gagai.

Christ almighty, no.

 

[Johns Magic]

If Fitzgibbon is on the outer, are we on the hunt for any second-rowers? Friz obviously takes one spot. Then…Jones we like but not established, and Barnett who is yet to nail down a permanent position.

I think we ok up front with Klem, the Saifitis, Sue, King. I liked the look of Ticehurst in NSW Cup yesterday. Not sure how old he is or height/weight? But looked likely.

 

[Old dog]

Croker and Ticehurst look likely, should both be on development contracts if not top 30 next season putting pressure on King, Soulo and Sue

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Negotiations stopped with Lodge due to what the Broncos wanted but I wondered if he was on the cards for next year.
It seems Broncos will hold him for this year.

 

[aqua_duck]

I’d take a centre who can defend

Patrick Herbert would be my choice

 

[Jono078]

Makes you wonder if we were after Lodge, are we still in the marker for a front rower? Or did we just see a potential value deal in him at the time?

 

[PhilGould]

As said above don't be surprised if Lodge is revisited in the off-season

I don’t see it happening. I am not so certain on the Junior rumours though. He is big chance of leaving.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

If we are looking for a big outside back with experience do we look at Fergo?

Seems on the outer at Parra

 

[Johns Magic]

I’d like to see Pearce stick around another year until we know Bailey Hodgson can cut it. Before then we’ll be relying on Crossland to partner Clifford while we need Ponga at fullback.

Happy to see more of Crossland but what I’ve seen thus far is that Crossland’s kicking game is his strength, which Clifford is dominant in. I think a running, playmaking 6 would suit to partner Clifford. Hopefully Crossland can show some of that.

Keen to see how Krystian Mapapalangi comes on although he is a couple of years away and a centre/five-eight

Wondered that myself. Depends on $ I guess. But would it be any less than Edrick ?

 

[Knight Tales]

Fergo would be a top acquisition. I’d still push for another top centre too. Hymel and Dom can push for the left wing spot.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Someone raised the Ferguson possibility with Toohey on Twitter recently and he shut it down saying the club wouldn’t go in that direction.
