So we have a few options bubbling under the surface for our issue at 58, but none are 100% locked in. Volkman had a great end to the year and is building nicely, I still think he could be the answer, but to be fair, probably not the player we could confidently say will build a Premiership on. Then we have the young blood Lorenzo Talantaina, who by all means could be great, but unproven in first grade and has some development to go till he fills out.
I was listening to Kenty's podcast last night while hitting a few balls in my sim and they were saying Munster is being lowballed by Storm, Perth are going hard for Burton, Chief's will go for Walker now Cleary signed, and Titans are going massive for Harry... so Munster is struggling to find that next club or he's going to have to take a significant shave to stay at Storm at $700k a season. Admittedly he didn't have a good season last year defensively and he's getting a bit older, but I do wonder if he could partner Mitch in the halves for their last couple of seasons and provide some stability as we transition to some of our young guns?
Hypothetically if we get him for $800-850k a season as the cap moves up, it's really good value for a marquee player that is still one of the best halves on his day and the current Australian Captain. I would be having a sniff for sure and seeing if he's up for a move to Sydney.

Though could argue Penrith are the anomaly. Though if someone is to replicate it, we are in a good spot based on our catchment. We seem to have that focus, is Ryles as keen to blood juniors as he says? We have some very good forwards coming through.
