Players go to Super League for a better offer than they would get at the time in NRL, and develop their game.

Even if it's not to us, a currently overseas halfback option could come into your mix above of available players and clubs needing to make offers to some merkins.

If they're not playing in Australia already do we even want them? Players go to the Super League because they're not good enough for the NRL (or in Carney's case, banned). If we need a backup we can surely find one in Australia. And if we need a top 17 player Australia is the only place where they exist.

The storm found Green oversea, and he has been great.

Not advocating it but surely whoever the England national halves are would be up to nrl.
Plus Henry Paul spent his entire career in super league but was good enough to be first picked for NZ

Chipmunk mentioned soward. He is one of the most hated merkins in league but kind of ticks all the boxes we are looking for in a half plus he kicks goals. And his defence has certainly improved.

No this year his defense was terrible

Albert Kelly would be ok and so would Carney.

Ken Sio would be a handy pick up. I still thinking we need two big strong props. If you have plenty of go forward and good defense your halves don't have to create as many points. They also get more chances so rather then have great halves getting 10 chances a game to create at 50% conversions you can have not as good halves getting 18 chances at 30% conversion . Big forwards making good yards will tire out defense making it easier for average halves to convert.

We should be talking to Shaun Lane - Nathan browne from souths. Neither will cost the world and be great young forwards for the future.
Mautalino needs a change of clubs. - Kostjgsyn and baptise would be upgrades on de gois.

Also Vaughn and Papali from raiders. Lots around to chose and improve the team.

Also I have this sneakie feeling Nathan Peats will be back - Who signs a 18 mth contract? His heart is with Parra. He has a house here. He will come back in Novemeber.

I have thought about a Peats return too to be honest.

I just wonder what happened in the deal and why he only signed for really 12 mths as he was contracted for this year.
A guy with his injury background is taking a huge risk in doing so. He was getting to maybe his best contract he would get as far as age goes. A min of 3 years should be what he was chasing. If he gets injured for a long amount of time in the next 14 mths his next contract will be about half of what he could of asked for now.

that makes sense as I thought it a bit weird that Josh would be coming off contract.

Sticky likes his big boppers

What do people think of Toutai? I think his carries are very strong and gets the team going forward. How do you fix his hands? To me that's about his biggest weakness. Otherwise he would make quite a good option for first grade.Him and Semi carting it up from the wing would give the forwards so much breathing space.
