Maybe Barrett wants to give Katoa a good crack at 9.

Joey Lussick may be on Barrett's radar.

He will be 25 by the start of next season and over the last 2 years his Super League performances have been impressive.

He has shown he can steer Salford's point of attack as well as plenty of individual ability.

He is also a good defender.

Super League is obviously not the NRL, however as Canberra have shown there is talent available.

Only possible issue is he is good mates with Hastings!!
Thought he Signed with Parra recently?

It really concerns me I still have not seen us linked ti any 9s, honestly our biggest issue, id even take Danny Levi who is leaving Manly at the end of the season at this rate, hes better than JMK. JMK has been there for years and we have always looked clueless at 9, we need to spend big money on that position as its arguably our biggest problem, we literally have the worst 9 in the league. If we dont improve in that area, we ll be near bottom for a while.
You do realise that both the 9s we should be interested in are still under contract??? Nov 1 ring any bells mate?

I'm optimistic that the club is moving in the right direction, we might sign a 9, we might not.

Regardless I think we will have a lot to look forward to next season, and it will be interesting to see if and how our current crop of players play next year. I'm hoping to see a revitalized cohesive squad, with a new game plan and fitness to boot.

I have been told that we will only spend our money on a genuine and classy number 9...
We are prepared to wait !!!

Yeah I do as well he is up to the challenge and I reckon if he could get his fitness up he would be a better 9 than someone like Mahoney. Has a good short kicking game, a good passing game he holds his own in defence if he works on his running game and fitness I reckon he will suprise a lot

Hahaha sorry bud “Wakeham”
Oh true. I heard similar earlier this month and Nasheed (lol) also mentioned it. I joked earlier that you just need to lock him in the gym all preseason and he can come out and play hooker lol.

Its the fact we arent even being seriously mentioned to any
Legally we are not even allowed to talk to them regarding contracts, however it has been mentioned that Mr. Laundy has spoken with Grant, so who knows.

Yeah if he can bulk up I reckon he'd be the goods. Be nice to have another kicking option out of dummy half for sure.
