Heard a few rumours that we are in talks with Daniel Tupou, SKD, Beau Scott and Alex Glenn about 2 weeks ago.

This article backs up what i heard.

The Scott rumor has been around a couple weeks, and the SKD rumor was around last yr. The other 2 are new. I'd take all 4, but i'd happily settle for 2.

I'd be happy with 1, as long as it's not Tupou.
 
I'd take Fonua or SKD in the centres, and Glenn or Scott in the backrow. Tupou or Mamo would be good signings for the wing too

Fonua is very underrated. Surprised he's been playing Queensland Cup this yr. Strong as an ox.

He has been quiet… Hoping he fires up today over Souths!

we just need one experienced centre and one experienced backrow and i reckon our team is set.

with keefy, woodsy, taupau and this other experienced backrower our pack has both youth and experience for 2016-17

our outside backs, at the same time, offer a tonne of attacking potential that will hopefully be enhanced by a level head in the centres putting people into space and taking on the line as is needed.

Beau Scott and SKD would be my top picks while also pursuing Fonua (could be a cheapie from NSW Cup), leutele, mamo, justin horo and maybe nate myles
 
Sam Burgess thanks.

Centre I think we just need to work with what we have and whats coming through.

even with richards leaving? at best wed have Teddy, Hoeter, Nofa, Simona, Naiqama but if anyone gets injured we're a little screwed. id prefer to have a nice centre bought and leave hoeter in NSW Cup for next year.
 
The last two posts are how i see it too.

Its a bit of a dud list given the age and price youd have to pay for some of them.

Mamo and Glenn are money ball selections but if we need a strong centre id keep looking beyond this list.
 
Did I read Sika Manu is off contract? Yes please. Sika plus Lowe and SKD plus Tupou and … that's a premiership winning 2016 side if the rest of the side develop.
 
Sika won't come cheap. He'll likely end up at the Dragons or Manly. Somewhere with tons of cash.

I'd rather see the club sign an above average centre before anything.
 
We have more players off contract this year than any club. Moltzen is off contract finally and he would be on a pretty good wicket. Most of the guys aren't big stars though unfortunately. Moltzen probably highest paid player off contract or maybe Tim Simona.

At Tap Dance Stadium /Park :laughing:

Bit of a tap dance 52-0 the Mighty Tigers smashed the Black & White Budgies!

Fonua didnt play, so I'd say he is 18th man for Storm?

I think its tough to see weaknesses in our squad. I think the real issue will be if Brooks and Moses kick on. Maybe we can replace Lawrence or move him to the backrow but I'm not sure its going to make a huge difference to the team.

Moses and Brooks firing though and Sirro and maybe Lovett kicking on will make some difference. I'm just not sure that we need to go out and spend big money on a backrower or a centre.

Maybe reason halves not firing because centre and back row not the best. Moses needs fire power in the backs.
