Rushie is in Australia on a recruitment drive for next season?

What do you expect we are after position wise?

Prop, scrum half and full-back for me.

Unless we're going for a Burgess or JWH, I think there's enough decent talent at prop in SL for us to go for who'll be a lot cheaper.

The scrum half is the key, but with the frenzy the NRL is in over recruitment in 2016 are we trying to swim with whales? Here's hoping we can pull another coup like Walsh ... That is assuming Walsh is off of course!

He will be after a winger for sure. Tried to sign one in pre season.

It all depends how things go with walsh if we need a 7 and If Mose stays etc:

You'd think winger first choice, then scrum half depending on Walsh.

Is the hooking role something we need to look at, given the dependency we have on Robes, and the clear lack of confidence KC has in Lance to do any sort of back up job for us at the moment, never mind a starting role?

Would you really want to pay big bucks for a backup? If we dont have an obvious choice coming through the youth ranks we should be looking at the lower leagues to see if there is someone worth a punt on for me to play as Roby's understudy

Well it didn't work with Lance did it, so surely they wouldn't do that again - I just meant it's a position we do probably need to look at as having a decent back up in the ranks if Roby is ever out for an extended period.

Don't we have the England academy hooker in our 19s?

I struggle to think who would be good from the NRL, I can't help but feel they'll either be an unknown or overpriced ... Might just be the Hohaia effect though

We should be looking at Justin Carney and Albert Kelly. Pay a nice transfer fee for them both.

Scrum half if Walsh goes, prop if Mose goes. Otherwise, maybe another forward and a winger.

With Rush down under to recruit then he must know how much money he's got available so will be certain who is leaving.
So who will it be? Hohaia, Masoe, Walsh? Or all three?
Quality players from the NRL are very expensive and ordinary players don't come cheap.

Who have you heard as likely targets?

I'd say all 3 if I was a betting man. As weird as it may sound I think Walsh may be the most likely to stay as he may not do enough this year to earn a NRL deal. Maybe that is wishful thinking though.

Back to your question I think all 3 will probably go and we will have plenty cap and quota space to play with.

Not much in the of rumours just yet. Or if there is then my usual sources are quiet.

I hate Carney. Fat, lazy, useless lump of lard. He's not a Saints player.

Albert Kelly is an interesting call. Very quick, very talented, but would quickly become our scapegoat I feel. He has more than the odd mistake in him.

I don't care - having another winger called Albert would make my day.

Kelly isn't a winger, he's a half back.

Top 10 for penalties conceded, top 5 for errors and top missed tackles so far is quite a bit more than an odd mistake! Agreed on Carney.

IF were looking at the chequebook, (and there's nothing to suggest the recent trend will be bucked), I'd like to go for some longer term options. Joe Mellor springs to mind.

Mellor isn't a bad shout. He looks like he has a lot about him and could thrive at a bigger club with better players.

Theo Fages would be a better, cheaper replacement for Lance in my opinon. Could cover the halves and at hooker.

Oh well - foiled again

You most certainly will be in need of one as this is Wellos last season.

A winger a winger my kingdom for a winger, any winger.

We have 2 or did you not notice.

why? Our wingers arnt world beaters, but not terrible either

FB and centre (imo) and replace those leaving, probably Masoe, Hohaia and Walsh.

The club has got recruitment right ever since Brown came in. So have to trust them that they will continue to bring in the right players.

Why a FB ? We have a very good one in lomax and two very good back ups in makinson and swift.

Centre ? To replace Percy or Turner ?

FB and centre are positions we have covered and would be one hell of a waste money. We are blessed at FB.

We have to replace outgoing players so we 100% need to replace Mose who is going. Lance will be going also so we need to replace him. Walsh is 50/50 if he's going and much will depend on how he is when he's back.

I think we need a good hard working tough prop that can put long mins in to accompany Amor to help him out.

I'd like to see another Backrow brought in. A tackle buster that's mobile. I know we have Vea, Greenwood as first choice but I still feel greenwood is a littke green and few years off being the final article. We have flash, Wilkin and jones (if he stays) but all are pretty rubbish with the ball.
