Gus targets 1 + 7?

Will Kennedy.

Ben Hunt is too old for us - 32. I think a better choice would be Scott Drinkwater who is 25. Might be cheaper option too. We need some talent but not when they are getting too old though. Drinkwater can play Fullback or in the Halves which he showed last night he has experience at.

 

[Bulldogs09]

I’d love drinkwater didnt know he’s off contract. Doubt he leaves cowboys

 

[bradyk]

I'd say S. Crichton and Hunt most likely at this stage. I still want 2/3 of Munster, S. Crichton and Haas. There's little to no point talking about Moses and Drinkwater, they aren't going to leave their respective clubs. Dragons were in contention for the 8 for most of the season with a spine of Ramsey, Amone, Hunt and McCullough. S. Crichton, Burton, Hunt and Mahoney shits on that spine. We all know we need to do something big to progress and Gus will be able to deliver a couple of players.

Drinkwater, surely he want to play fullback and not 6.

He's filling in 6 because Dearden's injured. Hammer's not a good fullback so he doesn't have competition with him either.

Campbell is hardly an upgrade on Averillo. He is a puny fellow and appears to be OK when he has a bit of space.
However, he is not a long tern fullback. Averillo is not the answer, but it's about all we have ATM.
Crichton appears to be the best alternative, but he will want big dollars.

The way we have seen Gus conduct his business since being with us, I find it very hard to believe that he would openly blab about his targets.

For mine, he is almost certainly creating a smoke screen for his real targets in these positions but I don't know who.

However, now that the Roosters seem to have their Prop rotation sorted & how obvious it is that we are so light in the front row there is only one target.

IMO Payne Haas will be with us in 2023.

The Redcliffe club have assembled a three-year deal, while other clubs are believed to be offering in excess of $700,000. The Dolphins originally approached the Cowboys about securing Drinkwater for 2023, but the Cowboys refused an early release.

Everyone dreaming about Munster, Haas, Moses & Latrell are going to explode when we sign Staines

 

[Malla]

We're getting Sullivan and that's it lol. I'd personally move Burton to fullback and find 2 new halves.

I might go to church today just to thank god it’s not up to you

Burton is the worst ballplaying 5/8 in the game.

 

[Malla]

Burton is the worst ballplaying 5/8 in the game.

Ok

 

[Novdoggie]

Reuben Garrick has one more year at Eagles. Probably preferred position is #1 but he is no chance with Turbo there. I think he is a solid player and could get him at a good price so we can go harder on a #7

 

[My Shawarma]

Burton is the worst ballplaying 5/8 in the game.

That is irrelevant he needs to run more, he has all the physical attributes to do so. The Titans game he showed what he can do

what makes you think moses wouldn’t leave parra?

it’s not like he is a one club player

 

[JUNKYARD DOGS]

Dylan Brown. Can play 1, 6 and 7.
Tesi Niu won’t stick around Brisbane.
Hammer a smokie.

And Sullivan.

 

[CQDog]

Burton is the worst ballplaying 5/8 in the game.

But lets keep stacking that left side up with Kikau and Skelton…

 

[2144superman]

Burton is the worst ballplaying 5/8 in the game.

I've been saying that all season bro and people attacked me for it. He fkn sucks as a half, he is a one trick pony and i still cannot fathom how he can command near $900k a season. Mitchell Moses is a far better option for $1m-$1.2m a season.

 

[CQDog]

We will end up with Sullivan considering a guy talked with his family and from their own words said so about the release. Give Toia and Averillo this pre season to fight it out for the 1 but if Drinkwater or Latrell are interested for the right price then definitely sign them. We need to target props more than a 1.
