Hunt would be a good signing.

Ice the Titans also went hard for some hooker named Smith last time he was off contract.

Not a big name in the scope of things but he filled a much needed position for us this season. Having a strong defensive centre inside Juzzy was a must and will be again now he's leaving. Sad to see him finally get a regular first grade gig but to move on.

Titans get themselves a quality centre.

According to yesterday's Herald Sun we are in the market for a backrower. This surprised me given we have Hoffy, Kev, Tohu, Kenny and Hinchy.

Interesting though. Wonder what type they're looking for. Edge or middle. Wouldn't suprise me if they started to lower Hoff's work rate a little to extend his career.

Kafumbles??? I was a big fan of Kaufusi - well, truth be told I'm a big fan of any over sized islander prop, more so when they play for the storm of course!

I reckon Hymel could turn out pretty damn good after a year or two though - I haven't seen fusi.2 at all to be honest, any footage floating around?

Ecstatic with these two recruits.

Both youngsters are as talented as any in their respective positions.

I'll just put this here for the time being. Finch will be on the NRL Footy Show tonight and has some big news.

I might be over thinking things but I think he might be announcing his retirement, and wouldn't be shocked if he mentions staying on in a coaching role.


Or he could have re-signed for another season :lol: Guess we'll find out tonight.

By the sounds of it he's on the panel, so I'd say that means he'll be on for the majority of the night.

You would have to think it would be a retirement announcement.

I take it your preference would be the former?
