Nasheed here,
Honestly don't stress too much.
I concede the club is playing a dangerous game but it's a favourite bet no doubt.
Compare today with the last 6 months.
So many players get into trouble, don't get on with the coach, clubs have cap dramas, players homesick or politics gets involved.
Players get tossed up all the time unexpectedly.
Did anyone really think in June that Blake Green would have signed with two clubs between then and now?
In May did anyone know the name Charlie Staines?
We just have to wait.
I could easily see a premium hooker being discarded from Melbourne or Mcinness or hunt getting edgy. And a decent prop will turn up.
We aren't going to get a signing revolution, but we will be able to pick up 2/3 premium players and another 2 handy players or so.
Our biggest threat isn't played signings and times, it's other teams with cap space.
Brisbane
Warriors
St Illawarra
Tigers
These teams all have serious room to move.
