Miatch - the million dollar question - what's happening with the big signing.

A. "On or Off" the table.

We are in the mix but I would be astonished if we pull it off. We would be better served if we bought Peats or Lichaa, James Graham for 2 years max, possibly Aaron Woods and Nofoaluma to replace Semi.

So this "massive" signing is bigger than Graham or Woods in quality?

The only bigger names I can see off contract than Woods and Graham are Slater, Cronk, Foran and Thurston....

If we signed any of them we'd be mad IMO.

You mean Woods and Tedesco? Anyway, I agree. Mad to sign any of those others and of the clues only Tedesco fits.

Nah the question was bigger than Graham or Woods. Teddy fits, but we have two fullbacks and given the original statement (one is at Roosters-Evans, one is at Tigers-guessing Nofo if it's not Moses, and one is at another NRL club-mystery player) I'm not sure it's him.

I suppose we could play him at fullback and French on the wing with Gutho at centre....

I don't think Graham's off contract. And an original clue was that it's a position we seemingly have covered. The only one that really fits, including other clubs being after him, is Tedesco.

Isn't Dugan off contract also? I guess it's subjective on where certain players rank but the biggest story would no doubt be Hayne coming back.

Lichaa is dead set average he has the ghost of Matt Keating flowing freely in him. He can't run or pas effectively. There's a reason why the dogs improve when he gets subbed. Signing Lichaa would be a massive step backwards

Bigger than Woods and Dugan off contract?

NRL Pressure Gauge: 200-plus deals to be signed ahead of season 2018
Of those off-contract players, several are marquee talents capable of commanding $1 million plus.

The likes of James Tedesco, Blake Ferguson, Josh Dugan, Kieran Foran, Shaun Johnson, Aaron Woods Gareth Widdop and Cooper Cronk sit in the top tier, while Johnathan Thurston, Darius Boyd, Anthony Milford and Billy Slater are also still unsigned but expected to stay at their respective clubs.

Underneath the headline acts sit the likes of Dane Gagai, Josh Reynolds, Nathan Peats, James Roberts and Aidan Guerra.

The info nugget provided so far is a position we are fairly covered in: fullback/halves/backrow/centre leaves these few in bold above

Of these, Ferguson the least likely we'd be looking at with our log jam of centres. Foran, I suppose might be a fit, pushing Norman/Moses out of the halves and Guth to centre, Bevan to wing, likely though this represents way too much change.

I keep coming back to a forward but I see no listed headline act off contract?
