I'm guessing a development player will be promoted to the final roster spot..


Would be the only option if we can’t offload some deadwood

Still at 29 players though...

No we have a spot to fill by June 30...without offloading anyone..


I meant we haven’t got a lot of cap space so promoting from within would be our only option, but if we could offload we would have more $ and options

But then you have to replace them too

Why...... development players can play after June 30. Why not promote someone like Robson for the remainder of the year or someone else

I know but with more dollars we could get 2 players from outside the club
 
What about Daniel Alvaro? we haven’t got a lot of cap space so maybe a cheap pick up. Like what Geo said " Why not promote someone like Robson for the remainder of the year or someone else"
 
If we are looking for a prop the Jordan Grant who played a couple of years for us in NSW cup is the form prop of the QLD cup surely he would be a good idea and if u offered him NRL time he would take it.
 
I think we are in a position where we urgently need a fullback, so this might be a blessing.

Unless we can offload Packer or ET before June 30, I do not think we should be outsourcing any forwards.

Theres a number of fullbacks who are not getting a run at the moment and may come good..Brad Abbey, Tristan Sailor, Bevan French, etc.

We may even be able to get a swap going with Sailor and Packer..obviously we need Dragons to top up Packers contract but they may be willing to let Sailor go to have an extra experienced forward...

Yes they aren't game breakers, but they're all better than what we have at the moment....
 
@Milky problem is we need a class fullback - Thommo isnt a class fullback but he is as good as those mentioned if not better
 
@boonboon 100% agree, but we won't be getting one before June 30, so a specialist fullback is our next best option.
 
Gees... Words cannot explain how bad we must be as we can not even get Mannah over here... The Dogs who are on the bottom of the ladder by a long way and are heading for the wooden spoon can recruit 2 quality players.. We could not even attract flies to a piece of Sh#t..
I understand we are paying overs for players that are not even in first grade but Dogs were is a worse place than us for the salary cap.. Something needs to change urgently because fans have had enough.

@hsvjones Maybe one of the people responsible for this mess will answer why on his return this week .

He'll triple the offer and snare Mannah for 3 years.

Make it 4 to be safe. You don’t want Mannah and Packer coming off contract at the same time. It will spark a bidding frenzy in the market and we may struggle to retain them both.
 
According to newspaper reports, Tim Mannah will make a final decision today whether or not he will sign with Wests Tigers for the rest of this season.
