Murmers that the club could make a play for reece walsh as a short term signing after the warriors elected to bench him.
The kid wouldn't be a bad pick-up and would free nick meany up to move back to the wing.

Ok, im having a bit of a laugh with this, but... Are there any uk based players we could take a shot at?
Given the summer they're having over there, I reckon some of them would nearly pay us to come over and play just to escape the heat >:D :lol:

I'm keen for a run too, maybe one of us will be the next Matt King :lol:

Seriously though, if we snag a reasonable outside back between now and the transfer deadline, things might not be the doom and gloom they look

If there's any chance that Storm could snare Walsh for the remainder of the season...I reckon we can go all the way.

A couple of players coming back...Moeroa, Smith and Coates will help....and even having Eisenhuth available finally.

The boys will look to fly under the radar as Jahrome pointed out.

Unfortunately it looks like the warriors are digging their heels in over walsh. It was a nice thought, but their language is pretty much a confirmed no chance.
Also mumblings about Adam douhei, Ken maumalo or Dane Laurie from the tigers, or Jayden Campbell from the titans being sounded out.

Still got to play out the season, doesn't make any sense to just give up. Especially considering there's still every opportunity to finish top four.

With all due respect that's complete nonsense Sal. 2023's time will come.

I think Bellamy should be shipping certain senior players off to QLD Cup.
It's not that (insert name of forward here) can't make 100m plus a game...
