Do we really need another average half? I agree Adam Clune is underrated but he isn't who we need. I would prefer Shaun Johnson but in the event we don't sign him, i'd rather stick with who we have and wait out for a top quality half to hit the market. With Burton coming next year and Averillo improving as a half, we don't need to panic buy. I think long term Averillo is our fullback solution, but there isn't a need to rush him there.If Flanagan is not going to get a run next season and the SJ rumour is true... Then I say fuck SJ I'd rather get someone like Adam Clune on a cheap deal and spend more money on Cheese and front rower. Clube hasn't been too bad when in first grade and isn't afraid to run the ball.
Have a look at the top quality halves left in the NRL. It's honestly lower than it's ever been. There are maybe 6 quality halfbacks in the NRL, the rest are about average. If we have an opportunity to sign a half of Shaun Johnson's level then we really have to consider it. Especially when there aern't many halves off contract for the next few years.
