Quote ="Bull Mania"Struggled at Saints. But then look at Okunbor. I was livid when we signed him. But did very well for us. Could be a shrewd signing.'"
He might of struggled but still managed to bag 11 tries in 24 games for them. If he signs on too, I'm struggling to agree with myself who our strongest line up would be
Overall the squad does look stronger, especially when you compare the original squad that started the 2024 season, with those who have come in (either mid-season or new for 2025):

I think the only argument you could have is that Doro is hard to replace (Michael is no doubt a good player, but not at the same standard of Doro) and Meadows doesn't really replace McGowan, but certainly adds depth and quality to the halves.
