Pat Richards mate,we have plenty of young halves,a good centre would be nice.
 
@Glen McWilliams said:
A lightweight backrower and a halfback on the bench.

Is that you Sheensy?

yes i agree it would be weird having williams on bench but it would be to:
a) be a backup if we have injuries in halves as he can play both 6 & 7and
b) keep our halves competitive. at the moment were got no one really to replace our halves, im talking experienced halves. this would give brooks time and avoid what happened to poor miller.

also which backrower you talkin bout???
 
I would be makiing enquiries to canberra about Jack Wighton,they have Ferguson,Croker and young Branko Lee to play centre,he would waltz in to our team,and he is young,keen,big,fast,a great defender and can score a try.
 
There's players out there. Not so many big marquee names. But some astute signings that'll help us rebuild. We need some mongrel, some props and experienced forwards, a bit of spark in the backs and some depth across the board. Here are a few picks that I think could prove invaluable to the club.. whether they give us 1 year or 5\. We're rebuilding and these are some players that could fortify us and make us competitive again.

Mitch Allgood - Can be anything. Shown glimpses. Was very consistent in his first couple of years. Relegated to the bench at Parra. Could be a good foil to Woods. Wouldn't cost an arm and a leg either.

Neville Costigan - always been a fan. Versatile, hard runner, ball skills, tough, strong defender, whole-hearted performer. Can offer some mongrel, dummy half relief if necessary and a competitive nature.

Kevin Naiqama - knights have conceded there's no room for him at the club. Bennett's loss could be our gain. An electric ball runner. Good in the air. Excitement machine. Has been pretty consistant when called upon in 1sts over the years. Scoop him up before the panthers do.

Chad Townsend - organising half with a strong kicking game. Not saying he should be our first option at #7, but he'd be terrific for depth.

George Rose - big, bustling, hard running, full of mongrel and cheap shots - but we need a bit of that. Doesn't play a lot of minutes, but could come on for Woodsy and change things up a bit. Take the punt on a 1 year contract, see if we can squeeze a bit out of him at the end of his career.

Scott Bolton - highly underrated. This guy is a qld origin smokie every year. Strong defender around the ruck, hard runner, big engine. Great off the bench or as a starter. Very professional attitude. Good role model. Very much entrenched in North QLD but an offer to play first grade football would put him and his family on a plane.

Nigel Plum - one tough nut. Was always one of the hardest hitters in the NRL. His running game the past year has finally fallen in line with his defensive skills. Proven he can handle front row, despite being a little light for the role. He'd definitely liven up our backrow.

Anthony Tupou - much maligned yet undeniably talented forward. In the past he's show he can rampage, break tackles at will and offload - but can also be very complacent and under-perform. He's been pretty consistent off the bench this year. He'll be pushed out of the Sharks side this year - he's got a few more good years in him.

There's other options out there.. Michael Weyman, Geoff Daniela, Andrew Everingham, Roy Asotasi, Matt Prior. Nothing on the Gareth Ellis scale obviously. But we should save a bit of cash for when a player like that does become available.
 
Nigel Plum
Junior Moors
Cameron Ciraldo

Our backline is great and will get better with experience.

Neville Costigan & Roy Asotasi wouldnt be too bad… I think we would get good service from both of these boys, and neither would be on huge money?

Kenny Bromwich played 80min yesterday in Q-Cup which was a surprise also...
 
Wouldn't say no to Plum, Costigan, Rose, Everingham and K. Naiqama. Weyman would be alright too, but a bit injury prone like Galloway.
 
I was actually thinking Naiqama would be a top utility. He can play Fullback, Wing, Center, Five Eigth and I would try him at second Row.

1\. James Tedesco
2\. Marika Koroibete

14\. Nigel Plum
15\. Kevin Naqiama
16\. Jack Buchanan

With Santi and Lovett eager for a spot. I think that side would make the finals.
 
im thinking if we go with a panthers style cleanout we need just fresh blood not necessarily class everywhere.

so im gonna say 10 players that would help us develop as a club.

1\. Kevin Naiqama - exciting outside back bennett said he won't stay but a lot of other clubs are after him so could be paying overs for him
2\. Ricky Leutele - This kid has class, a centre who is very strong and elusive think Simona but bigger
3\. Willie Tonga - Wilie hasn't really performed well at Parramatta and could be looking for a fresh start and is an international to provide experience out wide - we do have a history of signing ex Parra outside backs as well.
4\. Trent Hodkinson - If Marshall is to go he would be a must great organiser and really good kicking game also been told he is not wanted at the dogs.
5\. Mitchell Allgood - A young prop who has ability but not a great a tank would definetely add some mongrel mid field
6\. Frank Paul Nuuasala - Will be hard to see him staying at the Roosters beyond this year would add experience, power and versatility to our young pack.
7\. Korbin Sims - Out of the 3 Sims brothers he is rated the best is a great edge runner and adds mongrel to the team.
8\. Mark Taufua - experienced forward who is a hard worker ala Matt Bell could be a handy player without being a star.
9\. Dunamis Lui - is a young Petero Civoniceva and with a lot of forwards at Broncos could be offered the right deal to get him.
10\. Nigel Plum - tough nut up the middle really tightens up the team which is what we need
 
Our recruiting is shit and the market doesn't have many value for money players on it currently, we're in for another horrid year net year but the kids will improve which is good.
