Who are the likely forward prospects to replace Tino next season for us? Is Cartright a possibility?

He wants to go to Sydney. Family reasons. Always a good reason when your not playing well are the media is questioning your worth.

Please not Cartwright. Don't want him and his circus of a partner anywhere near us.

Surely Cartwrights knees are absolutely shot to bits. I think too injury prone , besides is clear intellectual deficiencies.

What about Shannon Boyd? He's not doing alot but would be far more expensive than Tino's deal.

100% agreed Mattpoet.....surely CB wouldn't put up with his attitudinal nonsense and the personal dramas that follow him.

Pass. Big time.

Given current COVID-19 situation Cartwright might have to have an injection to enter Melbourne, so we know he is not going to do that. Plus doesn't pass the no d/heads policy. I'd rather nurture the players we have - Vete, Schonig and King.

Not having Q cup really hurts a team like us who like to develop and bring up our forwards slowly. A lot might defend on Smith retiring (cap space) but I wonder if we're going to look for some young-ish experienced forwards to come in.

Vete and King serve different purposes in our team, they are not in the same category as Tino. They are not the future as horrible as that makes me sound. Big bodies and power is what we need to pair up with NAS given that Jesse is only getting older.

What about Eisenhuth at Wests? Apparently out of contract. Related to Tom?

Next in line are Turahui, Tuilagi and Loiero.

The big one is what the club does with young Jack Howarth (if he is still contracted).

I wouldn't be out, but agree Storm should not be looking at someone like him.

I doubt out club would even give someone like this a look in to be honest.

Good news . You had me worried for a couple of days !!

What do you think Sallymay- do you think he can make it eventually in NRL ? He seemed to stall last year , and of course it is very tough this year for the young fellows with no Q Cup
