Carrigan isnt a dynamic edge forward that can turn a game. If we have jackson and elliott we dont need another workrate player.
Carrigan is a good player but I agree with that. I also don't think we can spend one cent on another forward until we've secured a hooker, one or two halves and a fullback. If we still have money left over after that to bolster the pack then we can maybe look at forwards.
Nikora might be a cheap option. Like CHN he's an average defender but he's a good attacking second rower.
But between Ogden, Renouf, Thompson, RFM, Jackson, Elliott, Doorey, Topine and Stimson next season we should be fine in that department short term as long as those players are utilised properly instead of being misused like Pay and Georgallis have done.
