Oregon Kaufusi's outstanding improvement since last season warrants an upgrade too, Mick. He'll have plenty of offers soon if we don't look after him, his manager will see to that.

Mate, we have plenty of talent, depth, size and balance in our forwards. Add Nuikore back into the equation and it is even stronger. I don't want to lose anyone from our current pack to pay overs for a centre. I think our engine room is just fine.
One of the recruiting stategies I have liked is buying (say a centre) who can adequately fill other positions as well
centre - pinch hitter 5/8 - wing - and fill in fb.
It appears to me the days of being an out and out specialist player in any one particular position (forwards or backs) is fast becoming a thing of the past.etc. Is player versatility becoming the new normal?
"Im not a big fan of Guymer he's very limited to the positions he can play. The only real position is lock. He doesn't possess leg speed and doesn't push through the line and usually gets dominated.

Crazy if we let NB go. He is the absolute driver of our forward pack. It showed when he went off injured last weekend.

Ah Yes - the good old Cash 22.
$600K (2021/2) sounds a lot if you say it slowly - in the real market it is not so great when upgrading 3 or 4 players.
Opacic, Pappa and Carty for starters will make a big dent.
We haven't seen Lussick and a couple of others perform yet
"off loading a quality forward" ??????????????
Are we really that flush in the engineroom EE?

OK, I misunderstood your original comment.
