Ok it seems there are no better available halfback options for 2024 than Luke Brooks. So in the likelihood that he re-signs, it is becoming ever more likely that we will sign a current off-contract player to partner Luke in the halves (with Brandon Wakeham as our backup):
Drew Hutchison
Dean Hawkins
Blake Taafe
Brad Schneider
Kurt Falls
The only on-contract players that may be given a release I would think are Luke Metcalfe or Te Maire Martin given the Warriors plethora of halves next season.
I believe Taafe & Schneider have potential but a Metcalfe or Martin may have the edge with the experience they bring & being older may fit in better with our pathway timeline.
Fulton is apparently a big fan of Metcalfe and brings that Scott Prince type background (spruik half with injuries jeopardising early career but has speed & x-factor). Whilst Benji is a big fan of Martin - found this old article.
