We all know that we need to fine a sutable replacement for MJ. Some off contract players we could target:
Adam Keighran
Pros: Had a brilliant game against manly round 20. Can cover 6, probably won't break the bank.
Cons: Haven't seen much of him so far.
Jamayne Isaako
Pros: Goal kicking (can releave some presure off Moses in the big games), good finsher, can play five-eighth, fullback and wing, Broncs may chip in.
Cons: His 2020 form, never really playing centre before.
Brett Naden
Pros: Speed, Strength
Cons: Defence
Jordan Rapana
Pros: Big game experience which we need
Cons: Price tag, comes up with dumb plays, hasn't played much centre
Kotoni Staggs:
Pros: Strength, Speed, Power, Goal Kicking, Game Breaker
Cons: His ACL injury, price tag
Is there anyone I've missed and who would you want

Jordan Rapana is the worst defensive centre I have seen, he is terrible, plus I think he just re-signed with the Raiders. Pass
Staggs would be great a bit of a risk with his injury.
Naden if he became available would be worth a look.
The Roosters have Matt Ikuvalu who is off contract and would be a great replacement for Fergo, big and fast, played wing for Roosters but is listed as a centre, also Billy Smith could be worth a shot, he has one more year on his contract but with the Morris boys possibly re-signing he might want out, he has some big wraps on him and it was a knee injury that ended his 2020.
I wonder whether Opacic will be the replacement for Jennings? Time will tell.
Tim Lafai not been re-signed by the dogs
Average at best
Bottom dwellers and have not resigned him. Tell you something?
Isaako isn't a centre, neither is Rapana, he's resigned with Canberra anyway. Brent Naden is the obvious one, but his defence needs a lot of work.
Would love Staggs, but he ain't leaving Brissy.
Not a centre but we should be taking a long look at Jason Saab from the Dragons as a long term replacement for Fergo. He wants out at the Dragons to live closer to his western Sydney home. The Dragons want compo for him, I'm sure we could come up with something.
Agree Brett
If that guy would choose the Eels because Parra is closer to his western SYD home than Kogorah, I'm going to suggest he lacks mental toughness!
It's not Kogarah that he has issues with but travelling to Wollongong where the Dragons main training base is
