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.
