Rumoured Targets 3

Literally came off the bench for them in Rd 20 v the Cowboys

Playing 13 minutes across the whole season definitely refutes my point. Well done.

Dont be so sensitive

Was just pointing out hes not as bad as youre suggesting. Hes a prop in the team coming first in the QCup and will slot into that same role in our own Cup side, one which will be down on middle stock.

Doubt anyone expects the guy to be starting in the NRL each week

We've shown a good strike rate blooding young outside backs who were fringe top30 guys over the last few years. So not a bad strategy to stock up on middle forwards, where its harder to pluck a 19/20yo from cup/flegg and expect them to contribute much.

Still think we are looking to offload some under contract players. Wouldn't be surprised to see more than one of Cogger, Gamble, McCarthy, Annan get the tap - honestly we could lose all 4 and probably end up way ahead with what we could replace them with.

Annan

Is going to be hard to move given he's got another two years left on good money and will attract absolutely no interest from another club. Cogs or Gamblor would get a start in England if we want to keep Arthur, hell the Panthers would take Cogger back I reckon. McCarthy only has a deal for 2026, I'd pay him the difference back down to a development deal to free up a spot.

Annan is a head scratcher. I assumed he was back on minimum.

Signing a guy with flippers for hands in addition makes even less sense of the situation.

You seem to be very weirdly obsessed with Annan. When we first signed him there was a lot of positivity about it as he’s got a lot of natural skills that could fit a number of positions, but changing codes he was always a high risk of sinking rather than swimming. You’ve got to take those risks though, and the club no doubt expected he might not crack on and his presence is not going to break our roster no matter how many times you try to argue he is.

I'm so curious who the hooker might be. We desperately need one. With 3 runners in the spine, we need a proper game managing hooker who'll guide the team around. Crossland going into first receiver from 13 is great but need more control from the ruck. I don't see who it could be as there aren't many off contract?

Could be chasing someone currently under contract... Might explain the secrecy around it
