That is quite a shopping list, some were calling for Blake Wilson, can’t believe he doesn’t even have a contract as backup? We’d make him a starter next season

Interesting list. The backs/halves are decent but the forwards are absolute .
Adds to the thought that we need to lock up our young talent like EIT, Fatialofa, Crosby etc because other teams will be looking

Yup the list is quite good for us because we are looking for backs. Credit to all the posters wanting Sexton last year lol, he does fit well in a penrith-lite system

I’d throw an offer at Doueihi. Mentioned him in the other thread as a competitor and he can play almost any position in the backline and kick

He’d be the perfect 14 ie an upgrade to TMM right now, although he probably doesn’t want to play bench lol
