Imagine Burton kicking for JAC and Kikau on the left and on the right Williams kicking for Nanai.

If we save on buying Williams instead of Moses and don't buy Leniu etc it could be possible

1 Crichton / Laurie
2 JAC
3 Kiraz
4 Alamoti / Skelton / Averillo
5 Perham / Averillo
6 Burton
7 Williams
8 Pele
9 Mahoney
10 TPJ
11 Kikau
12 Nanai
13 Nathan Brown / Topine - need a tackle machine to replace Jackson

14 Nu Brown
15 King
16 Sutton
17 Davey

Packs ok if we get Brown. We need backs asap. Center, fullback and a half

We don’t need Nanai. We have Kikau.
Kikau only covers the left edge. Would be great to have a serious threat on the right also. Would make us heaps less predictable. Would actually make Kikau more effective because defenders wouldn't be able to number up on him all the time just in case we swing the ball to the other side of the field where there is another decent threat.

Bulldogs have met with Brown but they want Parramatta to pay a fair chunk of Browns deal ($600k) if he is to come (I don't know how much). I don't think Parra will by the sounds of it.

wouldn't want him for much more than 200k and tbh I'd rather we not go there all together. This is also probably why the deal will not get done, Eels won't want to chip in that much. It's the same problem we have with Allan, Flanagan, Thompson, etc.

It sounds like there is a mutual attraction with Leniu, Brown would be a cheap failsafe

I wouldn't be re-signing Thompson unless he's willing to take half what he's currently on. He might though actually

Yeah I would say that is the case

Leniu is no chacne for next year either but a chance for 2024

Can confirm although just a rumour but Laurie is all but on the outer at the Tigers and wants out. We were previously linked to him, Gus shut it down but as we know Gus is also a liar. Keep a watch out for this. We definitely are hitting targets for FB. Crighton, Herbie, Doeuihi, Laurie. Either one of these could very likely be signed very soon.

Yeah can see us getting Laurie. Gus had to shut it down. But it was definitely discussed. It wasn’t a made up rumour there was always truth to it. I like Laurie but I like avo aswell

Not a big name like D Voice has suggested though. He said two players big names in pipeline
