Quote post="post"From what I’ve seen of Lachlan Lam I don’t think he’s what we need, we need an organiser/kicker to play alongside George Williams who is a traditional stand off. Lam would be a good addition if he was playing alongside someone pulling all the strings, however I saw nothing of Lam this season to suggest he’d be any better than say Ryan Hampshire. With Williams supposed jaunt to Canberra in the bag, Lam and Hastings partnership would look good.

Josh Jones and Kyle Amor wouldn’t be bad additions if they were replacing Hamlin and Clubb. And we had Tautai, Navarette,

I’ve not heard much of the Chris Atkin rumour, I wouldn’t mind a pint on him but we do need some real established quality players for next season.

Hamlin - Josh Jones (2nd Row/Prop)
Clubb - Kyle Amor (Prop)
Tautai and Navarette - Christian Welch (Prop)
Powell - Brad Dwyer (Hooker)
Williams - James Maloney (Half)
Leuluai - Chris Atkin (Half)

Wouldn’t be too shabby, tho another player wouldn’t be bad, say another prop, an off loading impact prop.'"

postFather Ted:

We probably don't have any cap space. So many players have had their contracts renewed it's bound to affect the salary cap.


Trouble is our two highest paid players and them being two of our three marquee players haven't played for months. French has been out for a couple of months and Thompson since the Catalans game when we also lost Walters.  Although Walters has returned he was out for around 10-11 weeks Thompson still hasn't played.  That is just too much talent missing from the squad  not to have an adverse effect on performance..


If there was a shake up needed then Forber to be bench 9 instead of Leeming.  Walters right 2nd row and Junior off the bench. Maybe also Eckersley to replace Wardle for a couple of weeks so get Jake rested and fit again.


IMO our first 17-20 is the best in SL and by some distance. For that to be reflected in performance they all have to play especially our best players which they plainly have not.
