Canberra targeting some more English players

Wigan forward duo Oliver Partington and Morgan Smithies plus Castleford utility Jake Trueman currently topped his shopping list.

Take a leaf out of the raiders recruitment book WTs. We should be at least looking for suitable players from overseas, it hasn't hurt Canberra. They won't all be superstars, but look how influential Gareth was for our team. We just don't seem that appealing to established NRL players and we won't until we consistently make the 8.

Jake Trueman

The first two ara a prop and second rower which Wests tigers don't need, the other Jake Trueman is a 20 year old utility who plays half, five eight and hooker and from his highlights appears to be a handy player. I really don't understand why Wests Tigers who could need a 5/8 , hooker don't pursue UK players like this.

By my reckoning we have 3 spots open for 2020 with somewhere between $1.0-1.1m left in our cap, assuming no movement of our existing high $ low performing players
2021 we have 14 spots open with ~$3.5m, which isn't that much when you consider the 16 players contracted through 2021 are on a combined $6.4m
Even if you assume we end up with 4 on the $115k minimum in 2021 that leaves just a touch over $3m for 10 players


We have 3 spots, but only 2 need to be filled before by round 1. We’re going to sign somebody, come hell or high water. Even if I have to impersonate Pascoe and steal his chequebook. I’m pretty unkempt at times, so it’s not really a stretch for me.

If we don't sign anyone of high calibre .. i think those two spots will be taken by Brad Abbey and Waits Setu .. leaving us with one spot to fill with a bucket load of $$.
 
Just in.... Looks like Souths have signed Jai Arrow

Looks like TigerRabbit is the closest to being on the money. I don't see this causing too much of a chain reaction though as Tino had already been signed by Titans as a replacement.

Unless we’re paying those 2 500k each, I doubt it. We need to speed the minimum cap amount.

If worst comes to worst, can’t we just frontload Mbye, Packer and Reynolds (depending on what happens with his case) and go super hard in 2021
