If Averillo becomes a possibility I think we’ll make an offer. Just have to see if he does. I don’t think Niu, Aitken or Te Whare improve us, or if by chance they do it ain’t by much.

Aitken makes us actively worse.
Don’t really hold him in high regard either.

Daine Laurie, now that’s a name I’m prepared to give one more chance at this club. Third times a charm they say. So the next Daine Laurie should be a fkn immortal.

I have just received a rumour that the club is interested in signing Maika Sivo for next season. Given the fact he seems to be on the outer at parra especially with Lomax coming next year I think it's a definite possibility. What do we think? Could he bounce back like Olam has
Where did you hear the rumour? Just curious.

An old official who used to referee in the old NSWRL comp and has connections with some of the players and old boys at some clubs. Only early on mind you

Looked injury affected last time I saw him play. Doesn't carry it back as hard as you'd think a guy his size would. Good finisher though.
Well he could fill in for a couple years so if true I’m not against it.

I’d take him for sure.
Think he was injured last time he played but he would be a good replacement for Tupou for a few years. If legit I’m not against it but I imagine it won’t be easy to get him.
I imagine Parra won’t let him go without something though if legit.

he's a bit of a flat track bully for mine but on his day can be a great winger. I'd personally be interested in Ravalawa who is only 26 and is more consistent
I don’t think Dragons will move on from Ravalawa unless there’s someone better coming through, or if they really do sign Turuva and need more cap space. Although Lomax being let go should free up some money as well for them so maybe they aren’t dealing with cap issues yet. If Ravalawa is gonna get shopped I would at least keep tabs, but I think Sivo could do a job if we get him for a couple of years as well.

I think if we wanted him Parra would release him immediately. They think he's past it, all downhill now and in decent money.
I would offer him a deal for the rest of the year as a trial run, but his manager would probably want a 3 year deal to come here

Plus,
hes a winger. They are not the kind of players you keep past 28. They will just slow down and either need to transition to center or go to EPL.
Ken was maybe worth taking the risk on. Nothing really happened to the other signing options at the time. Still someone I would stay away from.

And Sivo will be 31 next year FWIW. Kind of kills me enthusiasm for him.
