Are there any top quality centre's in the market? Gagai does not rate as a strike centre in my opinion. Is Bronson Xerri available? He could be a cheap option and is a gun player.
Maybe Suli or Dylan Walker? On the bench at manly, I personally wouldn't go for either.
Both problem children
When he comes back people may think he will be a cheap option, but reality says their will be a dozen clubs looking to sign him and you will be paying at least 500k.
Xerri is suspended til Nov next year I think
If H Dunster does not work out, I would go from no one on that list. W Blake to the wing or try get Naiduiki ready for next year.
The only way Dunster can work out is as a finisher outside a creative centre, he brings nothing otherwise, same for Russell. in saying that Dunster still may have some growing to do, he lacks the strength of the required modern winger and his highly questionable under the high ball.
I've watched a bit of the Cowboys this season and Murray Taulagi has been very impressive! The Cows would be crazy to let him go but I'd have a crack at him.
Can Tupou can added to that list.
None of those plus I'm not sure there's much available atm.
Seems like Fiji is teeming with diamonds waiting to be discovered so I'd look there. Or I'd just put some faith in Naiduki and see what he can offer.
