I was thinking about this the other day. Young hungry Aussies that can’t quite get the break through seem like ideal signings… but isn’t there work permit issues with them?

Possibly. How did we get Magoulias? Had he played any first team games for Cronulla?

EDIT: Shame Mags didn’t get his chance this season instead of last. His ball-playing skills and kicking could have been a sensation this season.

I’d rather we took a punt on a cheaper young NSW or QLD cup star though. Maybe one who can’t quite breakthrough at a NRL club because they’re kept out of the team by a star centre. Someone in the mould of Jai Field, Duffy etc. Raw pace and footwork.'"

Yeah i'd rather just give Wrench a proper go and invest in him, with Mata'utia on a 1 year deal.

I meant to partner Wrench. Ratchford will probably be a bit part player as utility back up, with Mata’utia gone home. No way I’d let go of Wrench. He’s looked every bit the star in the making.
