Definitely a gun center. Wish we made a play for Jesse Ramien last year.



There was one spot left, which the club allocated to Morgan Harper a month or so ago.
Would love Ramien, he’s a tough ****.

Given we added Morgan Harper to our top squad, we no longer have a spot for a new recruit. But I'm fine with that.
We have plenty of players off contract at the end of the year, so we will have a good chunk of cash to splash on the positions that don't fire this year.

Centre and then hooker. Although I doubt we could get a hooker mid season that would make that much difference.

I'm happy to save the money for 2020. Unless it's for salary cap reasons, no good players would be let go mid season anyway.

I’d go all out for a gun centre like Joseph Manu.

Also one of the young gun hookers like brailey.

Prop would be another to look at but with Napa tolman sue and Ogden (he’s the one I see kicking on) we should be ok especially if Renouf can convert his nsw cup form eventually.

Loosing klemmer left us a big hole, Napa is good but he's not like klemmer. To'omaga needs to step up this year he is capable of tiring the opposition defence and breaking the defence line. I was impressed with Sue he'll come handy this year.

So I wouldn't look at getting another prop I think we lack an experience centre. I would get a centre.

Priority number 1 has to be a hooker. I don't know if there would be any mid season players good enough to waste the money on tbh. We should be looking at marquee signings for next season and anything less to start with would be wasting and weakening our bargaining position. Players only give a fuk about the $$$ so we need as much as possible.

Our biggest area of concern at the moment has to be at right centre. Who the hell is going to play there if Hopoate plays fullback as expected? Overall we have long term question marks in a few areas: Fullback, Centre, Hooker, Prop. I think this season will answer a few questions in those areas regarding whether we can fill the void internally. eg, Meeney/Hoppa at fullback, Renouf/Ogden at prop, JMK/Brown at Hooker. But unless Harper develops into a first grade standard centre i just don't see an answer there. And that is assuming Holland is good enough to hold down the other spot...

We need a Centre and Hooker big time. Anyone on the free market would be better than what we've got.

Kotoni stags would be a freak signing but highly unlikely
Jennings yuk no thanks

The warriors have a young gun called turner who plays right wing/centre

Sharks need too offload a player. I’d be happy with either Brailey at this stage if it means I never see Lichaa play for us again

Centre and hooker a two obvious choices, but i'm also keen for a big athletic winger. I rate Smith, but Chrichton doesn't impress me.

The only hole that left the bulldogs when Klemmer left, was an arse hole.

Looking at the off contract list for 2019 on Zero Tackle there's not much quality out there.
Fullback Gutherson, Kahu, French.
Centre Solomone Kata, Feki
Hooker Mitch Rein, Wayde Egan, Reece Robson, Api Korosau
Prop Joe O, Fensom, Blake Lawrie, Christian Welch.

I'd try to get Gutherson, Kata, Reece Robson and Blake Lawrie
