The current second row situation at the Wests tigers is thin. And with the market looking thin I hope the tigers pounce on some players to fix depth. Many of the juniors are just too raw and still have a lot of time before they can fit comfortably into first grade.
With Luke Garner coming off contract and not being signed yet I think it is a perfect time to bring him back.
He is a quality second row who can also play centre if need be. Has been part of a quality system in Penrith and would be a perfect depth signing or rotation player. He knows the team and can now be classified as experienced being 28 and nearing 100 games. Hopefully bridge the gap for some juniors or stay a bit long term.
My second option is a bit more controversial ... Josh Schuster. Recently cut ties with manly and could be picked up on pennys. A half who can also play second row. Help steer a lost KOE side around the park or provide some punch into a young KOE side. I dont want or see him coming straight into the NRL side but for depth he is perfect. I would only buy for 300k or lower and 1 year and CO 2nd year as I think he has attitude problems.
Our depth has been exposed in recent years and hopefully we can fix this before using it as an excuse.
