Valentine holmes - fullback
Kurt Mann - can play 1-7 preferably play him centre
Corey oates - second row if he doesn’t perform well can move back to wing
Koroibete - wing
Anthony don - wing
Isaako - fullback

I reckon we can grab any of these two as some of them are off-contract and not in their favourable postions.

Also does anyone know when kikau is off contract, we could really use someone like him running hard off brooks and benjis short passes

Give me Koroibete and Isaako.

+10000 Koroibete would be awesome to have back. IF Corey Oates wants to be on the wing I would take him too.

We need outside backs.

Yep and particularly with some speed to burn

Makes such a difference does speed. When Brooks made that little run from his in goal, if we had a speedster outside him its try time. Same with the last play when Benji put Nofa away, if you had a speedstar there anything is possible. We however, just get run down on the 40m line.

I'd go hard for Marika Koriobete or JAC!!

Stats don’t lie and with Klemmer you know he’s not a powder puff

He’s doubling the meters our forwards are getting, probably tripling a few too

Isn't that the old Aaron Woods argument?

We need an impact forward.

I don't know how keen the Bulldogs are to release people. I think Klemmer is happy with Jackson and Woodsie, it's a similar culture. Yes they are under a bit of cap pressure, but I think they can and will keep Klemmer.

I think Marty Taupau is the person to steal back. Manly are in dire straights and don't want to play Hastings. Swap Lolohea for Taupau and that will give Manly some cap space. Maybe throw Tim Grant in there too.

I agree 100% on Marty, always have wanted him back!

I think klemmer is the only option I’d be keen on if we were to look at the bulldogs , in terms of bulldogs forwards you’d think klemmer brings a lot of impact the guy runs hard

The thing with Woods is we can’t deny that he isn’t a good player, but he’s a softy turns his back and walks to the line while he brings no venom in his defence

With klemmer, he runs hard and hits hard in defense too so it’s a different argument

Apparently we are after Adam Milner from the Super League.

ADAM MILNER

Age 26
Position: Hooker
Loose Forward
Adam joined the Castleford club as a youngster from Stanley Rangers and made his first team debut in 2010\. Despite only being 26 years old, Milner has gone on to make over 100 appearances for the Tigers in the last seven years. In 2016, he was one of only two ever-presents within the Tigers team. Towards the end of the 2016 season, Milner shifted roles within the squad playing the majority of his rugby from the Loose Forward position. He continued the role in 2017 and thrived as he appeared in 29 games throughout season.
 
I guess the long term plan would be for Liddle to play most of it, so a lock who could play Hooker for 20 mins to give JL a rest wouldn't be the worst. No idea if he is good though.
 
More cap trouble for Manly

The bad news keep coming for Manly - I’m hearing the Sea Eagles may need to let a leading player go before June 30 to be salary cap compliant.

Because of back-ended contracts and salary cap “irregularities” after they were caught cheating red-handed by the NRL, the Sea Eagles’ cap is a mess.

They are currently over the cap and need to shed around $500,000 before June 30 to get their books in order.

As a result, they are looking at offloading one of their representative stars. Dylan Walker and Marty Taupau have been mentioned but you'd have to think there's no way they would be let go.

It might be a player just on the next level who is shown the exit door.

But shedding a player on big money mid-season is no easy task - there aren’t many clubs with a spare $500,000 to $600,000 to spend - much as they would love to add a quality player to their line-ups.

Marty Tapau or Dylan Walker anyone? Would be nice to get those two here… Haha Manly and Bulldogs are screwed. Des Hasler must be so inept at roster management. Almost feel sorry for the clubs.... Almost haha
 
What we need

A class professional centre = Dylan Walker

A class second rower/lock that brings impact = Marty Kapow

Wouldn’t mind either tbh
