first article talks about dugan being keen on staying in canberra - probably good news in the eyes of most of us (or me at least) because i dont think he is what our club should be looking at. Also, if he stays, their back-up fullback Massey will almost certainly leave. he can play 5/8 and fullback and if mini does retire/leave at the end of the year, picking him up will ensure that if wells/RTS dont come on as planned for next season at least, we will have a ready-made replacement without having to fork out the big cash. Tomkins also comes firmly into the reckoning if we dont get dugan as well which would be a fantastic signing no doubt.
second article talks about leuluai back to the warriors. maloney is certain to leave - we are winning the race to sign him by all reports but even if we dont land him, the arrival of leuluai would seemingly mean that tuimavave in particular may not get his chance in first grade even if maloney leaves which opens him up as a potential acquisition as a replacement for braith. Also, with locke cementing the fullback spot, young fiisiahi will undoubtedly be looking for a shot a first grade somewhere in the not too distant future so like massey, he could be worth bringing across at the end of the year as well.
third article talks about DCE's contract at manly. i would be surprised if he left but things arent looking good at manly so nows the chance to strike at a few of their players with Des leaving and the board/ownership issues continuing. Although i feel as though DCE is a little overrated, there is a real opportunity for us to pick him up as a replacement for anasta and id definitely prefer him to maloney especially considering it would take similar coin for us to lure either of the two to us.
Throw in guys like gagai, foran, wade graham, townsend and gardner who could also be forced out of their clubs or looking for opportunities elsewhere for varying reasons all of whom play in positions where we will need strengthening in the not too distant future and it becomes clear that there is some great talent out there that we could sneak under the radar and nab
All things considered, i do think we are one or two experienced players short (particularly in the pack) so i wouldnt mind seeing us going after someone that ticks those boxes as well to take our young pack forward and lead by example.
Just some food for thought on a monday........
