With RCG expected to miss some time, including Origin I and possibly II, will this prompt BA to look at the market in order to fill the void. Wiremu Greig has improved, he is looking good every week, but he is better off the bench for impact. We need a starting Prop. Now Greig will start while Makatoa comes onto the bench, but i would play Ogden as i feel he offers a little more with a passing game at least.
Though we might be in need of a Prop in general, one to start while RCG is out and then to move to the bench once he is back.
Added to that, Matt Ikuvalu off to Catalan, Tommy Talau signing with Manly, we sit on our hands just waiting. Now would Ikuvalu or Talau improve us? Perhaps, both aren't overly great but i would take either over Dunster and Russell at the moment. I understand we do not sign for the sake of signing, though Manly didn't need Talau, yet feel it is worth while signing him. We obviously want a Centre, but are we doing what we need to in order to get one? Too focused on Laurie who would only help us for 20-25mins a game, only playing one position.
Anyway, it is frustrating as it feels we can get there but few things in the squad holding us back.

Grieg isn't the answer. He's too slow and not fit enough in my opinion. This really falls on the shoulder of the Eels recruitment and the coach for not pursuing other options in case of these situations occur
I would be looking at the forwards in England they tend to do well in the NRL
What about Mansour.
He's doing Fucking nothing in reserves for Souths, surely he's better than what we have.
He is actually at the dogs
He is actually at the sharks reserve grade side.
Answer for the backs is at the tigers. Pick up both Nofoaluma and Laurie. We should also make a play for Fletcher Baker Roosters already have plenty of forwards he'd be a very good pick up. Have a team of:
1. Laurie
2. Sivo
3. Gutherson (floats around similar to Manu for Roosters)
4. Penisini
5. Nofoaluma
6. Brown
7. Moses
8. Baker
9. Hands
10. Paulo
11. Lane
12. Matterson
13. Hopgood
14. Cartwright
15. Doorey
16. Greig
17. Makatoa
Broncos have made a good offer for baker
We should make a bigger offer
I'd be getting jwh over give him the captaincy
He is a weapon JWH I like it
