So let me get this straight, Montgomery walks, Pangai walked out confused before being spotted at Broncos training, Topine hasn't been seen in close to 6 months, Sutton only gets surgery this week, the club tried to offload or at least sideline Mariner and no information regarding Patolo. This with KO also probably out of action for at least half the seaon.
This leaves King and Curran as the only two bonafide NRL middle forwards, Knight has spent most his career in NSW Cup as has Salmon who is an edge back rower any way. Hughes is a rookie, and Faamusili is an established QLD Cup player at best so far.
Hope Morrin and/or Edwards have developed significantly during the off season.
