Only just mobile enough to play 7… zero chance of playing at 6

Stuffed knees apparently - can't run hard and has limited lateral mobility.

I'd also consider Sandor Earl and Mosby from the Cowboys, although I reckon they'll be keen to hang onto him.

Tuimoala Lolohea can also play wing, although I doubt he would want to. He plays his best footy at wing IMO, and would definitely not sign him at half as he is wildly inconsistent.

Cmon, Milk. You don't sound like you're on the bus.
The upcoming test between England and Samoa will give us a look at a few ESL options:
- Chris Hill (29yo best prop in the ESL last year)
- Alex Walmsley (27yo prop who has started this year really well)
- Mike McMeeken (22yo second rower for Castleford with a good offload)
- Luke Gale (28yo goal kicking halfback)
- Chris Hill (29yo best prop in the ESL last year)

TIGERS RAID BULLDOGS
The Bulldogs have a fight for their favourite son.
WESTS Tigers have tabled a massive offer for Bulldogs cult hero Josh Reynolds, according to a report.
Channel 7 rugby league reporter Josh Massoud has reported the Bulldogs have approached Reynolds with an offer worth twice the total contract offer the Dogs have put in front of Reynolds’ management.
Seven reported Ivan Cleary has identified his first recruitment target, armed with a massive war chest following the departures of stars Aaron Woods, James Tedesco and Mitchell Moses.
The report states the Tigers have offered Reynolds $3 million over four years, blowing the Dogs’ offer of $1.5 million over three years out of the water.
According to reports the Bulldogs have signed stars Woods and Kieran Foran for the 2018 season, forcing the club to create some space in their salary cap for next year.
Reynolds is off-contract at the end of this season while playmaker Moses Mbye, hooker Michael Lichaa and fullback Will Hopoate have all been linked with potential moves away from Belmore.
TIGERS RAID PANTHERS

THE Wests Tigers have also been linked with a move for Panthers rising star Te Maire Martin.
The Tigers famously let Martin leave the club from their junior ranks to focus on developing Luke Brooks and Mitchell Moses and have been linked with an attempt for the young playmaker to make a sensational mid-season move back to the Tigers’ headquarters in Concord in Sydney’s northern suburbs.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports the Tigers are already in negotiations with the Panthers to sign Martin immediately, aiming to cover the hole Mitchell Moses’ potential mid-season move to Parramatta would create.
The report claims the Tigers will allow Moses to leave as soon as they sign a replacement.
TIGERS RAID WARRIORS
Ben Matulino is on the move.
THE Tigers have found their replacement for skipper Aaron Woods with the club on the verge of landing Warriors prop Ben Matulino.
The Australian’s senior rugby league reporter Brent Read told Triple M, Matulino has agreed to a deal that will be worth $700,000 a season.
“They’ve been sniffing around Warriors prop and New Zealand prop Ben Matulino for a while now,” Read said.
“It’s my understanding that deal is just about done. Matulino was looking for about $700,000 a year to make the move and it sounds like it’s over the line now. I reckon we can expect an announcement pretty imminently and obviously that helps makes up a little bit for the loss of Aaron Woods.”
Eels legend Peter Sterling was concerned about the Tigers splashing big money on Matulino because the talented front-rower has been an “underachiever” in recent seasons.
“That’s a lot of money. He’s an underachiever, Ben Matulino,” Sterling told Triple M’s Dead Set Legends.
“A couple of seasons ago you would have said he’s going to be in the upper echelon but he hasn’t taken that next step up. I guess in their position you might have to pay overs, but that’s good money for the kind of form he’s shown the last couple of years.”
Matulino played under Wests Tigers coach Ivan Cleary when the new coach was at the helm of the Warriors.
