Who are we buying for 2021 onwards

[Benek]

Do we have enough cash for both a half and a hooker? Egan is fine but not a star and we need depth in case of injury. Both our halves have been very underwhelming to start the season. CHT and Nikorima are not a combo to lead a team into the finals. I’d buy a good #7 first and then a hooker second. I hope we have the purse to do it.

Ok - bring back SJ

Nah, I’d be seriously talking to Pearce... or bring back the Chad lol

CHT needs time, but not really shown much that suggests to me he’s the guy for 7...

 

[Big Marn]

if we do get a hooker or a new half, they need to bring a good kicking game first and foremost, as that is our achilles heel at the moment.

CHT putting a huge effort in and amazing defence but no game management or composure

2 or 3 poor kicks early in the tackle count for himself

bring back Mason

If we had any of those top flight halves, SJ included, we would have closed that game out comfortably.

I think that’s the thing, this year we’ll be there or thereabouts, but we’re going to struggle to put a lot of games to bed, meaning were probably guna lose 3 or 4 close games that we could/should win.

Tough 5 weeks ahead of us with Storm, Canberra and Roosters coming up

Hope that’s not the next 3 games - that’s 3 of the top 4

Pearce has re-signed with Newcastle.

How about Adam Reynolds? Unlikely to get him, but may as well chase him & force his price up elsewhere.

Didn’t know that

yep, Reynolds is excellent imo but I don’t think he’ll leave.

Nah not the next 3 weeks, but the next 5 weeks we have them and 2 other teams that we should beat. If we’re able to win 3 of those games we’ll be doing well

Hooker is more of a priority than half tbh.

We have 4 halves on the books. Kodi, CHT, O'Sullivan and Turner. Not great, but at least theres depth.

We only one one hooker. 2 if you count Jazz which I don't.
But there aren't any real good hookers off contract.

Should one of the halves be used as bench hooker?

Dunno. Halves don't always make good hookers.

But we will probably find out soon enough.

Walsh was very impressive in his debut match for Norths in the Intrust Cup. Scoring two tries and kicking six conversions.

[SmashEmBro]

Walsh seeking a release to join us immediately. Will give him a year to learn under RTS, maybe jag a wing/centre spot for a little while potentially.

Broncos want someone else in return.

Happy to have him earlier, but not sure we should give someone up that may be useful to us while we still have RTS

 

[Diesel]

They can have one of our over priced wingers? Or both

 

[jaseg]

Kane Evans, lol

 

[Rich102]

Step up Jazz.

 

[Big Marn]

Step up Jazz.

He would have trade value.

Interesting the week we sign Reece Walsh, Perham is now named at centre in QCup after playing fullback last week
