Brent Read is reporting that North Queensland Cowboys and former Origin and Test Winger Murray Taulagi is set to depart the Cowboys. Being off-contract and the Cowboys in a cap crunch with Jaxon Purdue, Scott Drinkwater and Jeremiah Nanai coming off-contract in the next two years, Tualagi is seen as a casualty in order to re-sign talent and also sign a Halfback with Roosters Halfback, Hugo Savala, linked to the Townsville based outfit.
Timing is everything and if you mind me putting my tinfoil hat of hope on could this timing of Lomax being released and Taulagi on the outer be coincidence? Is Taulagi a nice replacement for Lomax? Definately. He averaged 177 metres per game this year, big body, wonderful finsher, experienced and played both for Queensland and Australia. Plus he also has nice offload game.
Taulagi would be a nice get if we want a Winger that can emulate similar to Lomax, particularly in terms of yardage. St. George Illawarra are the first team linked as they are with everyone, if we are going for Garrick over him, it is a missed opportunity with Taulagi being younger and more damaging than Garrick.

Samrani is being trained more as a backrower that can conver centre if injuries happen during a game
Why hope not? Rather a slow Samrani and a 29 year old Garrick?
I be going for Garrick he a goal kicker we need a goal kicker Moses can be our back up goal kicker but we should have the money to buy Koloamatangi and Garrick and Murray i be putting Garrick in centre Murray wing

You don't sign Garrick only for his goal kicking. He is fine but not great under pressure.
I would pass on him
So Brian To'o or nobody? Bloke played Origin for Christ sakes he's the best option out there.
We were ranked no.1 for landing spots for Murray Taulagi with an admission that they do not find the timing of Lomax getting released to Taulagi leaving NQ as a coincidence.
