I hope we also come in for him. Imagine a backline ...

He would bring speed, experience, finishing, good defence and utility value to cover fullback & centre for injuries. He may want more than what we can offer. Good mates with Jock Madden too.
Connor Watson (just for 2027) & Jesse Arthars would be ideal imo.
To'a is mates with Mapapalangi so hopefully is envious of his form in the ESL & trips through Europe. ESL is probably the most realistic option. Fair chance we'd have to contribute close to 40-50% of To'a's salary though for a...
I read it as they are trying to free up money in 2027. The club will be trying to add $$$ to Samuela’s final year of his current deal as part of the extension.

Got time for Herbert. He's 1st season back after 3 seasons out of a professional training environment. He has shown both some good & poor moments in defence. With more reps in NSW Cup this season & another full pre-season, he's still a handy a depth player.
Depending on how our NRL team go over the remainder of the season, this kid could be a smokey for a debut late in the season. Strong, powerful, physical & classy, just prone to the odd concentration lapse in junior reps imo.
