Who plays #6 and who plays #7 - a season defining decision.

I don't disagree. If that is the case, you play Bud in KOE & act as if he is a viable option to fill in.

Which he is.

I'd add Tyrone May as well as he is similar to Doueihi & Mason- offers position flexibility. KOE could be Luke Lualili'i at FB, Mason @ 5/8, Bud @ #7, Tyrone May @ #13 & Hope/Da Silva @ #9....that's pretty decent.

I don’t think Tyrone May is required on a Top 30 deal …if his name was Tyrone June no one here would be interested in him

That I do disagree with.

People seem to forget he played a fairly sizeable role at the Panthers prior to his issues. He's then gone to the UK & played big roles over there. It's not as if he's a part time player.

Obviously there is the name correlation.

But as an available utility player, capable of centre, 5/8, half & lock- so long as his value is sub $300k or so, again- you can't have too many good players.

He has already openly discussed wanting to return to Australia.

I'd be preparing for him in a Tigers jersey, personally.
