This is a follow-up to the deadweight blog and the info comes from zero tackle. I have only included the positions which could be relevant to us. Lots of bodies but not much quality at the right price.

These are the only players I can consider. Tim Browne has skills but he strikes me as a little slow. I like Ben Hannant and he could come at the right price. I know a lot don't like him. Ava S goes okay. Sopoaga is a workhorse. Nathan Green is solid.

Tim Browne, Chris Houston, Tupou Sopoaga,
Been a fan of Raymond Faitala-Mariner having seen him play in NYC. Big, fast, good hands & can slip a good pass away. May be worth a look as well as Solomone Kata a 19 yo centre that played in Warriors reserve grade team & similar in build to Hurrell.
Hi Guys, an article in todays Sunday Tele states that Parra have a good chance of signing Danny Hicks. Maybe to replace Fui?
