Not many players available for the spine positions. We desperately need points and x-factor. We can get to the other end of the field when we're not dropping the ball. We need a centre more than a winger but JAC would still be a good addition to our team.

Anyone who wants JAC has got to be kidding themselves. Wingers don’t create tries, they finish tries. We need spine players more than anything. JAC is also a bit of a bonehead, just like Latrell and Cleary. Solid pass.

I wouldn't say wingers don't create tries because some certainly do, but for the time being we have two players currently contracted to us who are more than capable of being very good on the wing....no need to go out and spend a fortune on JAC. As you said we need some recruits in the spine, centre, forwards..

I’m not really trying to say they don’t on occasion, there is always the potential for a try off the back of some individual brilliance.....but wingers aren’t really going to do it often enough to win games if the spine and forwards aren’t firing. Extra forwards are always handy, but the spine is our biggest concern by far at the moment.

JAC would be wasted money.

We’ve already got two very good wing options and Holland isn’t one of them.... a fast winger offers little if he isn’t getting quality ball. We need spine players, a centre and forwards.... in that order. Signing JAC on the kind of money he’s be asking would be nuts.

ypu Judy want to throw cash st any high profile player who becomes available ..... or more accurately, you want the club to refuse to throw stupid money st them do you can post more negative threads.... lol.

That individual brilliance could be the match winner when you most need it though...but yes things like the spine are a far higher priority. I'd still take another forward or two at this rate, whole squad needs a shakeup.

What spine players off contract would you like to see? After Friend and Milford it's pretty slim. If you're struggling you can name some contracted players that have some *'s.

Yep let’s pass on someone who has genuine pace and can find his way to the try line....do you think we won’t have enough money to buy other quality players...in the meantime we need some speedy backs....honestly some of u want to sign a choir team

Like others have said. A rock star fullback would be nice. DWZ. Would make a nice transition to wing with Remis. Hope the centre experiment is over. Hoppa is a classy centre all be it without any speed. You’d keep him because we have no other option. But cotric, staggs, hell even gaggies would be a decent player and a definite upgrade.

Half is essential. If not 2. We lack creativity, direction, attack, control. We are a headless chook. We need a hooker that can create. We are ok at prop. Probably let go of Aiden which would be a heartless move. But his best years are behind him. If we cut the Morris twins go. Then no excuse with Tols.

on the back of the CHN and Stimson failure to launch. We could use a decent back rower. But doubt we’d be in the market for someone decent. Fafita would be good. But we have more of a chance of getting hazem, sherwin and lamb coming out of retirement then getting him (if he hasn’t extended with broncos already which I feel he has). We have some good young kids coming through who are probably 3-4 years away from their peak. We can’t lose them. But at the same time we can’t wait for them. We have the money to move. And we have seen with our 09 and 12 rebuilds that we can transform a very poor team with key signings. The only things that remains to be seen is if pay, Anderson and hill has the ability to accomodate and achieve this.

But just to answer the threat. No Addo Carr should not be perused. Don’t like the way he acts entitled. We don’t need egos like that around the club. Especially not from a winger.

With the crap that has gone on with him in recent days he'd be a poor publicity magnet if we signed him. The fact that he's looking to leave Melbourne tells me he's developed a heightened ego. Generally players start asking for more money when their ego and or manager demannd it. So I kind of hope that any big names we sign are something like leaders rather than self centred and entitled characters.

As far as any potential signings go, there is a distinct possibility that the salary cap will be reduced for next season. So haste in signing players is something of a double edged sword. It might be great to get a few big names here early just to have them guaranteed. But if the cap is reduced, some great players might need to be moved on from clubs that are already at the limit of their cap.

But either way I see Addo Carr as something of a gamble now. He can't remain in the shadows behaviorally as a Melbourne player, so getting into a much more hostile media environment in Sydney would mean that any future indiscretions are more likely to become public.

Jamil Hopoate's a good shout for second row. After that it looks like we're better keeping RFM or playing Britt there for another year (or Stimson coming good).
