Thanks Pom.

We have the option of bringing Drinkwater back don’t we?
Are the two other contracted players we may release Rochow and Gamble?

Any word on who we are targeting.

We have first crack at Drinkwater for 2019.

Pom are we chasing any significant names or just players for the ISP team?

Don’t expect anything till the season ends. Majority of targets are still contracted. Things will make sense once announced & if we can get these 2-3 good names over the line.

Hi pom

Is ivan staying? How close was he to leaving?
 
Drinkwater should stay in Super League which suits his skill set down to the ground and he can crave out a nice solid career there. If he came back here, he would just be a back up half back.

The club has signed some young talented half-backs by the sound it in young Talau from Bulldogs and young half from Newcastle who played Australian Schoolboys. I would not waste too much money on a back up half tbh.

Centers and Forwards would be the main area's however there is a real lack of off-contract centers unless they are moved on or ask for a release from their contract.

Silence! Club has bunkered down on this issue. No one allowed to say a word.

We really really really need some props. We've lost Grant, Sue and Felise and have not signed any replacements

Mikalele will replace Sue. Clarke is probably Felise’s replacement in ISP.
We need another good prop Taupau is my pick we need to add quality to this squad.
Peni Terepo is a machine would be a gray bench prop.

Is there a contract in discussion for Luke Brooks on the table post 2019?
 
@ said:
I'd hazard a guess that some names we'll be talking to would include Daniel Tupou, Ryan Matterson and Taupau

Tupou might stay at Roosters now after Ryan Hall did his ACL

I think you may be right there. If anyone is going to be moved on its those 2.

I wouldnt be surprised if Elijah Taylor got a tap on the shoulder as well.
