What a Anthony Leffrachi?

The only experienced NRL right centres currently available for 2027 are Will Penisini and Jake Averillo.
I would happily take either of them, but Penisini is managed by Isaac Moses which would make that hard.
I believe Averillo would significantly inprove us at right centre, but he also has his defensive issues at times.
When you say Lottery Ticket on young players, anyone who has seen Mason Barber play will tell you it’s near certain he will become a regular NRL player by 2027 at the latest and it’s a very good chance he will become an elite player very quickly whether that be at centre, fullback or on the wing.
If we want a quick fix low cost right centre upgrade for this season, Max Feagai would be a good option.
Also with the bad news of Samuela being out injured for most of the season, we should have a look at Thomas Fletcher currently at the Rabbitohs but not getting any game time in their NRL team despite him being a standout in NSW Cup almost every week.
While I’m happy to see how Sione goes starting on the left edge and I do believe Tony Sukkar can make an impact and keep improving if given more opportunity, I think we lack a back rower who has good speed and agility to be a real attacking threat.

I have said in here a few times should ring the knights and ask about James Schiller

We could grab him for 18 months , it would very much help our run with Sam out for 12 weeks , even off the bench he would be a gun or put him into Sam’s spot and run Sione the same way we have so far

Didnt even think of that. Wonder if we have the cash?

If we managed to snag Spencer for this season, we could play sione in place of samuela, then bring Spencer on in the role sione was playing.

It solves a big problem for this year.

Its pure fantasy, but I guess it comes down to how out of favour he is at the roosters. They might be happy to get him out asap or on some sort of mid season loan? Just trying to see a world where we can still finish top 4 - maybe this is it.

Any word on Turuva or Makasini?

Outside of those two the rest aren't priorities. Are we looking to the market for anyone else?

For this and next year could be huge for us especially if he buys into things

For this season cash shouldn’t be an issue as most his salary would’ve been paid for.

When was the last good game you saw Spencer play.

Need a gun backup hooker, gun starting centre, gun starting wingers.

Sam Verrills apparently available prior to June 30. He's a big upgrade on Hope for 18 months before Haywood is ready

Prefer Fletcher Hunt

Thomas Fletcher and Max Fearguy .. Oh cmon we got to call him that if we sign him!

If Pensini (I am NOT calling him your nickname!) wernt a Moses player I would definately have him on the list.

Sukkar/Seyfarth are our depth till they can outperform those they replace.

No to Spencer Leniu. He is a better version of Royce Hunt - an impact prop who plays short minutes and makes a big impact - but we already have a Royce Hunt and you can't have two of them in the same team. The only way you can manage that is if your other two props (assuming a 4-prop rotation) both play huge minutes.
