If this is a bad injury, like 12 months out, you can get your bottom dollar he’ll be coming back to the tigers next year to collect his $500k and take up a roster spot.

I would try and nab Sexton for 18mths with an extra year the clubs option.
He is the best available.
I rate Latu but the kid needs time & Luai needs an origanizer. Add to that Benji views Latu more than a half & isn’t confident just yet in him (why make a multi year offer to Reynolds) so think Sexton could be of value to us.
We could do alot worse.

Latu has barely been given a go yet …. I would at least give him the rest of this now meaningless year to assess him properly

I see he signed a six year contract with Wigan. It appears they want to keep him.

These contracts have NRL ‘get out’ clauses in them. The longer the contract just means the bigger the transfer fee we would have to pay.
Personally I’m 50/50 on whether we should put our faith in and rely on Latu as our 7 or sign someone more experienced such as Toby Sexton or maybe Te Maire Martin.
There is no doubt that Latu looks to be a quality player, but he’s put on a lot of size and weight since his days of dominating the junior reps as a fleet footed 5/8.

Latu also has evidence of a kicking game …which you were pretty down on 2 weeks ago
That’s fair enough, but it means we probably miss out on any other decent options if he fails.

Dolphins put faith in Katoa with Nikorima last year. Hopefully we do the same with Latu & Luai UNLESS we can land a circuit breaker like Joey Manu to play 5/8.

Sexton? He is a solid player but you can find another one of him
I’d play Joey Manu fullback, but I reckon we are 1000/1 of landing him even if we offered him 1.5 million per season.

Why would we want a player no one else does.

George Williams makes major admission on NRL transfer as exit looms
Warrington Wolves star George Williams has broken his silence on whether he will make a sensational transfer to the NRL in 2026 with the Dolphins.
www.loverugbyleague.com
As an example, Warrington are asking for around $400k transfer for George Williams.
Not a long kicking game.
Mick Ennis on the commentary stated how much more distance Douehi was getting once he moved into the halves.

Mate this ties in with the Isaiya Katoa to Souths rumour I posted in here weeks ago and no-one is speaking about it at allllGeorge Williams makes major admission on NRL transfer as exit looms

I'd give him 6 weeks for not doing the job properly!!

Not saying the raiders have depth in their backs.
I am saying they spent their cap on their 1-17 with enough depth to get them to the finals.
We need to spend more on our starting 1-17, a little on 1 maybe 2 backs to cover gaps and 1-3 forwards and NOTHING ELSE.
The number of Depth back signings like Naden, Staines, Faalogo, etc. it's redicous.
