We need the cap space for forwards which is more urgent so doubt we would have space for Fonua unless we perhaps made him a marquee

I doubt making him marquee would make any difference to whether or not we can find the cap space. Would he really be earning more than 150k anyway?

I can see him being a marquee player for a team, so that wage would probably be about right. I would look to spend that money elsewhere in the pack where it is more needed, as has already been said.

When he left us, I said at the time he would be back in Super League within 2 years. Unless as Bonaire suggested and we release Dawson-Jones, which I can’t see due to length of contract, we can’t afford him.

I'd fonua cant get an nrl contract someone in sl will take him. Maybe rovers as their outside backs are shocking

Coming to us .... always liked him , but would we go with 2 decent hookers again !!

Danny seems irreplaceable, we are so lucky to have him. But not sure Radders feels Jez Litten is ready yet.

Parcell would be good of the bench, giving Houghton some much needed rest time, and possibly helping him to extend his playing days with us. Just a thought no more.

I’d take him , but I’d heard he was going to rovers which is a good deal for them .

Justin Carney didn’t last long.

Hope the Maguire plan goes the same way as Peacock’s.

Jordan Thompson was also on a 2 year deal the same as Jones.
Injury apart, the arrival of Swift means his future game time will now be very limited and i think he will move on.
Langtree,Thompson have gone for that reason and Jones will be the third.
