I think we are in for one? Reports were we have gotten one? But all quiet on the western front at the moment.
I think we get either a middle or edge to start and Williams fills in where needed. Davvy Moale was told by Souths that despite agreeing to 2026 deal he is free to move on. I would like to get him over.
I think our major concern would be a middle forward. At the start of the season I'd have wanted another backrower. However Kitione was rapidly improving before injury so another pre-season will help. Jack Williams has shifted well to the backrow and provides his best value there. Kelma Tuilagi is not a player I have particularly liked, however he is beginning to improve and remove those really poor errors and penalties.
Samrani's future is in the backrow and I've liked his contributions there. Then you consider a few juniors coming through and I don't think you want to close their development pathway.
"Yeah I think Moretti Tuaviti Paulo Hopgood Williams JDB is a good mix for middle. I think Talagi might be a few years off yet needs to get more cup into him. Moale in the top 30 I wouldn't be against it. Better then what jack bird can bring prob "
"I hate to break it to you, I didn't actually think you were a member of some exclusive club. We can transfer up to millions of dollars around at work daily for all kinds of reasons . Sometimes into very questionable hoteliers and licenced venue…"
"He has played 56 games in last 3 years which is not bad, plus have to think too at 22 being a full-time FG player can take a toll on the body. Look at Tuivaiti as an example, some big Props at that age their body can fall apart then eventually it…"
"But is Koloamatangi going to be available. All well and good saying "Get this player" But they have to be available and are their current team going to let them go? I mean if he is available 100% go for him, but with him being important to Souths…"

We should still look for a X factor 2nd rower if one becomes available

I like them as our two options. Then the talent coming through the backrow in the juniors is great.
Them two, with Samrani and Tuilagi, are enough for 2026.
We'll see how Samrani goes next year, and Tuilagi, as both have contracts finishing by end of 2026. Think we'll keep Samrani, release Tuilagi.
Then one of, or both of Funa-Iuta and Latu would have hopefully staked a claim by end of 2026. Then Williams can move to the middle.
Need to see a bit more of Kitione but he was improving every week before his injury
We have a few rated juniors as well I think we should just look for an elite prop and a centre for now
Elite centre, middle and 5/8 are our options. Williams could definitely go to middle if required. I feel we have a lot of middles at the moment
I hope we get a 5/8 fromt row forward n centre

Aren't we getting that forward school kid from brisbane
He is probably like all our current juniors. They always seem to be 1 or 2 years away from being good enough for FG.
