I think we need to enquire about MacDonald’s current situation,and see if he is ready for an NRL return yet..
If his head is right,he would be a good,relatively cheap pickup that has plenty of size and knows how to finish.
I think Semi would be too much from the cap,which takes cash away from tempting players like Grant,Paps and maybe a Staggs..
My 3 cheaper options for 2020 are
Segeyaro
MacDonald
Lisone
Releasing ..
Holland
Licchaa
Fualalo
Opinions guys
MacDonald & Lisone might end up like Dugan & Ferguson not good for each other, just a thought.
We don't need a short term 1 year contract hooker, we already have one and he currently has a number 7 on his back, can tackle and kick from dummy half and I don't buy the too tall for the role argument.
No issue with releasing or not resigning the 3 players you mentioned.
Also thought Smith and Harper went ok in centres and lets give Wakeham a fair crack in FG before deciding on a new halfback and I believe we are also covered for wingers and fullback for 2020.
Would rather try certain players we have in other positions instead of buying a cheap 1 year option as pickings seem slim at this stage.
Don't know enough about any potential English players.
Something may change before 30 June next year then perhaps we can pounce otherwise lets try and buy a premiership in 2021 with our war chest.
