Does not seem like the fastest winger on the block to me.

I'd say it is likely. For TMM, it's going to come down to Penrith. I havn't heard anything personally about Edwards, but that's not to say the rumour isn't on the money. The biggest problem with these types of rumours is that they do tend to change day to day. So most of the time it's hard to definitively say if something is going to happen.

I would totally agree with this. Have Brooks play 5/8 with Cronk playing Halfback. Now if were signing TMM, I don't think this can be an option.
TMM is incredibly exciting. Cleary knows him and so do the tigers board. However he is a bit of a turnstyle and Brooks defense is woeful.
As a club we did the exact wrong thing. Have 3 junior players start out in key positions then fire the only senior mentor in Robbie Farah. Naturally they got scared wondering who is going to mentor them up and help their game improve. I think that by signing TMM we have closed the door on Cronk, otherwise I am optimistic about this signing and glad to bring a loyal player back.

From what I've seen of Martin in NRL for the Panthers, he is no turnstyle. As with all halves, the opposition will have their big guns running at him but he seems to handle it well.
Every half and 5/8 misses tackles…...teams run their big mobile players at them and every one of them has the highest miss tackle ratio in the comp. Hae a look at Maloney, Thurston, Cronk...they all miss tackles...
The question is do they slow that player down enough for the 2nd and 3rd tackler to finish the tackle off.
Having watched TMM at Penrith to date........I don't think his defense is bad at all.

We're not going to wait around for Cronk to make up his mind.

This would be terrific, Edwards would be a bonus.
1\. James Tedesco (hoping) Micheal Gordan (realistic)
2\. David Nofalumo
3\. Moses Suli
4\. Taine Milne
5\. Dylan Edwards
6\. Te Maire Martin
7\. Luke Brooks
Gordan and TMM are cheap options and can let us spend the big $ on forwards.

Had to google Edwards
Thats what happens when you stop watching every game
Hes played a handful of games, looks quite small…remember the days of the small back three?

He is six feet and 93kg which is quite a bit taller than Tedesco and probably similar weight. A good size for a fullback.

Not that small mate, he does need to fold out though. One heck of a talent.
Problem I have is if we bank on talent again in key positions no doubt we will get bitten in a few years again.
Edwards, TMM, Brooks and Liddle all in the young stakes hope each contract is segmented in different years for us if we pull these signings off.

Hey mate, I respectfully disagree.
I think we got burnt because we paid overs for talent, it stopped us from being able to put old heads around the table.

With plenty of clubs being under cap pressure for 2018, there is going to be some juicy scraps to pick up
