If Papali’i does come

So if the rumours are true that Papali'i is on his way back here, how does our bench line-up. RCG, Paulo, Hopgood and Lane play big minutes, so will Papali'i. Matterson will also. But it'll be a bench of Cartwright, Matterson, Greig and Ofahengaue (Ofa is on decent coin so he will be playing, I think he will have a good 2024)

But is it too congested? I think we need a Hooker on the bench at least but a bench like that would be really good too.

Or we release a player, Matterson being the only one I think that would happen to, leaves a bench of Cartwright, Greig and Ofahengaue as our middle options, I don't think Cartwright suits that role, yet he shouldn't start over Papali'i as I see Papa as better than Carty.

Never a mistake to add talent but don't want congestion either

  • Need more outside backs than forwards. 

  • Still contracted to the Tigers for the next 2 years. Only happen if he isn't in Benji's plans, or he isn't considered worth what they are playing him. I guess he will come a bit cheaper if an offload does happen.

    • If you had a player in your squad that asked to leave and you are building a new culture would you want him there?

      Again, this is not about is he coming or not, more so if he does how does the lineup look.

  • Ofa didn't want to leave tigers papa doesn't want to stay there. Easy fix swap them back  and bring papa back here! 
    instantly makes our side much better

    • Agreed

    • Except the Tigers didn't want Ofa

      • Not for the price.

  • Scratch it, he ain't coming.
