i woodnt mind seeing us sign michael gordon to replace mini who is off contract at the end of season

Expect to see us chase an outside back to replace Minichiello, and a prop to replace Paea. Ryles will eventually be replaced by Kennedy - we should persist with this kid.

Dugan will replace Anasta, Carney will shift to five-eighth and Dugan to slot in at fullback.

Regarding the vacated prop and back positions, we have some kids with potential, but I am not yet convinced of their FG standard yet.

i completely agree however i am warming to the idea of re-signing mini for one more season especially if they do change the cap a bit to make concessions for long service/juniors meaning we could still pay him good money. He has been good for us this year brings experience and can cover a couple of positions so why not? Otherwise i agree we need someone to replace him.

In terms of the prop to replace paea, id like to see us get kade snowden. was excellent last night again and is really underrated. Big, strong, aggressive, good offload and a massive engine. Would be a really smart purchase. Id also like to see us bring tamou back to the club somehow for depth. he should have never been let go and was only let go with the belief that waqa was going to make 1sts but he has left so imo there is a prop vacancy. Id like to see JWH, Ryles, Snowden, FPN, Kennedy, Tamou as our prop rotation for next year. Youth, experience and strong depth with myles also able to cover up front from the backrow.

Setu at the right price would also be a tidy purchase for depth in particular - no doubting his potential

this could be the confirmation re setu.

yes sound like we have got him hope will do think he will go good under smith

[Guest]

I think smith could get the best out of him. if he is frustrated at lack of game time then hopefully he is keen to get out theres and have a crack.

one thing i know is that he will bring a degree of intimidation which will work nicely with what JWH brings.

yer but where does setu fit into our fg team i cant see him pushing any1 out of the way

[TheLoneRooster]

If Setu is frustrated at a lack of game time, I can't see that situation improving at the Roosters so he is just as likely to get frustrated here and what then? The thought that he would improve under the coaching of Brian Smith doesn't hold water for me because if he lacks internal motivation, there isn't a great deal Smith can do or say that will provide Lagi the ongoing motivation he may need.

its not a definite but stranger things have happened. Sometimes all a player needs is a change of club and coach to get the best out of themselves. He obviously hasnt impressed much at broncos and this is evident from his form and lack of game time, but with new club and coach he may want to make up for lost time and impress from the get go.

or he may flop only time will tell...

I'm not wrapped in Guerra's form. He's been a bit of a non event since the opening rounds.

[Funky Chicken]

I have heard you guys are linked with jeff lima, and as for my knights we are linked with finch and tolman. Melbournes ranks are taking a bit of a battering.

Hey Knightsfan,

The good oil up here in Townsville (even reported in the local paper) is that Luke O'Donnell is off the Knights for next season.

Cheers

Steve

Na! I've heard he likes to be on top.

Not that there is anything wrong with that!
