1 leutele( hopefully)
2 king ( maybe if he came cheaper than hes supposedly on)
3 richardson( maybe as a cheap tommy replacement but ide rather have lino)
4 senior( very underrated winger imo and we could then release miski for quota spot which is wasted on a backup player)
5 westerman( long shot but would boost our back row options after all our recent losses)
6 edwards( same as above but obviously the quota thing)
7 obrien( Definately an underrated player who would be very versatile and handy as backup…. Can also kick goals well which is always a bonus when we have injuries)
I’m guessing the player is King which is doing the rounds this weekend, which I wouldn’t be too against at the right price but would rather it be Leutele.

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: Ricky Leutele
Yes, I know that, but to say he ‘ripped us apart’ I think was a bit over the top.CobraCraig wrote: ↑Sun Aug 21, 2022 3:52 pmAn individual can have a strong game and be on the losing side imo.josie andrews wrote: ↑Sun Aug 21, 2022 2:54 pmHow did he rip us apart??

Re: Ricky Leutele
Potentially OTT but he had a really good game, can’t remember too many individual performances that good against us. I have just looked at the stats and it was nearly 180 yards, 4 tackle busts and 2 clean breaks. I remember us struggling to handle him most of the match and at one point was shocked he left Bateman for dust (think John must have been injured).josie andrews wrote: ↑Sun Aug 21, 2022 4:44 pmYes, I know that, but to say he ‘ripped us apart’ I think was a bit over the top.CobraCraig wrote: ↑Sun Aug 21, 2022 3:52 pmAn individual can have a strong game and be on the losing side imo.josie andrews wrote: ↑Sun Aug 21, 2022 2:54 pm

Re: Ricky Leutele
Richardson signed a 2 year extension last week. I’d go nowhere near him.
Brodie Croft or Mason Lino are the only halves I’d be considering but both not gonna happen.

Re: Ricky Leutele
What is this thinking that we need a shiny new halfback? Harry Smith & Cade Cust are starting every game next year when fit & the club have a very promising young halfback they want to develop in Logan Astley.
If anything, we need a new hooker to replace Tommy to come off the bench if the club do not rate Brad O'Neill and/or Sam Powell.
