Impact forward for 2018 : Thu Apr 20, 2017 5:59 pm  

As we now seem set with two quality half backs tied up (how good does that sound?!), I can't see there being a lot of movement for next season. Not coming in anyway. The young players will gain quite a bit of experience this year and they'll serve us well next year.
Only area we are lacking in my opinion is lack of an impact forward off the bench.
I hope that's an area that Radford and Motu are looking at addressing.
I can't see us keeping Michaels and Thompson, and it remains to be seen what will happen with Hadley, Naughton and Abdul.
We should have enough cap space and overseas quota spot for the player we need.
Must be one kicking about the NRLs reserve comp who could do a good job for us?

That's why I suggested Mickey Paea.

Unless he's extended his contract David Fifita may be an option.

Not a bad option.

Think the kid from Halifax fits the bill. Plus I think Ellis will stay and be used off the bench as a prop interchange

Would he be an expensive luxury?
