Warrington are to reluctantly part company with overseas trio Chris Leikvoll, Brent Grose and Henry Fa'afili because of salary-cap constraints.

Don't want the prop but sadly I think both backs could do a job for us. Shows how crap we are.
I do know that Grose has been checked out by at least 1 aussie club. They wanted to pay him in dollars what he was getting in pounds at Wolves - £70K.

What about Tadulala from Wakey? I always rated him.

He's got a dodgy arm. The break he suffered earlier in the season has not mended

So is he retiring?

No-one seems to know. Plus he's 31. We should steer well clear.

I would say yes to grose and no to Tadulala, beacause Grose is a quick defensive and offensive full back who can do his job well, the money factor is the only thing that may stop us from signing him as one thing we do not wish to achieve next year is another point deduction, Tadulala has just never been in my good books he is quick but not quick enough for my likeing, if we need a cheap winger though he won't be as much as the rest of the wingers going around the league BUT if Fafili isn't signed by Bradford who have reported interest in him then i would definatly sign the winger/centre

I don't! Briscoe isn't even first choice fb at Hull. I'd have Motu Tony if he was available though.
We dont want either , Brett Hodgson is the player we want to be looking to bring in.
Agreed, but if we can't get him, Grose would be a good option from the limited number of available fullbacks.
Wealth of experience seems as Fletcher is going , he's captained West Tigers played state of Origin has a good kick rate , quick , good sidestep , good under the high ball all the qualitys a good fullback should have.
I agree with that, but it now seems that Brett will re-sign with Wests.

However a Warrington cast off isn't.
Totally agree. Out of all available he should be number one target.unless we spend big on a bowen or slater i'd be more than happy if we signed hodgson
