These 3 are currently unwanted.

Brad Takairangi
Brent Naden
James Roberts

I wonder if TBaz would be interested in signing any. Anyone have any inside info?

Naden only. I think we're fine with our current centre/wing options and should be looking elsewhere. If we don't get JAC, 2. Okunbor, 3. Cotric, 4. Hopoate, 5. DWZ. Reimis can fill while Okunbor returns. If we didn't get Burton either and Hopoate was fullback with Averillo at 6, Reimis in the centres and Meaney to fill while Okunbor returns. After that we're a bit skinny (I wouldn't want to play Crichton for e.g. and Schoupp probably not ready) so maybe Naden wouldn't be too bad.

We should have a good look at Naden even if just for competition in the 3/4 line

DWZ has to play due to his pay packet and Reimis is the only other option for centre if Hopoate is fullback. No one else sir.

No he doesn’t lol players on twice his salary like Ash Taylor have been dropped before. We have young guys in our squad that could have a crack at centre as well

There’s more available than the 3 mentioned but overall no one that great.

Naden is a good centre and will get better. I'd grab him for sure if he's available at the right price.

DWZ is a massive drain and I'm happy for Reimis to go too unless he's ready to give 100%. He was never a centre but apart from that he played like he didn't want to be there last year. He's done well on the wing before but he needs to improve a lot. Might as well pay some of DWZ's contract to play somewhere else cause it wouldn't be hard get someone better for half the price.

apparently toy dogs are keen on Drew Hutchinson from the roosters. Sounds like a reserve grade player. But just interesting we’d even be looking at him. Most likely won’t eventuate as we still have Flanagan, averillo, wakeman, and POB, and evening have green assuming he hasn’t backed out of his contract.

Unless we got rid of our starting reserve grade half back in Lewis :p

I've been saying we should look at recruiting Naden for a while now, the more I think about it the more I wish we would make him an offer.
