There's also Battye in the mix when fit but I agree, A Fifita would be first choice not 5th and likely to replace Tangata anyway if it allows the move to take place.

Granville is the best calibre out of the hookers in there I reckon.

Unfortunately Granville is in the starting 17 at the Cowboys most weeks and Boyd started at 6 for Titans last weekend...probably need to look a bit further, someone like Marshall-King who hasn't featured much this year

The problem with any signing from the Southern Hemisphere is can they get a visa and if so how long does it take. We are saved from them having to quarantine for two weeks but I think we will be looking well into June even if we announced a signing now.

Well we have the lad from Saints let's see how he goes it's not necessary to go overseas all the time. Over the years we have unearthed some gems from the likes of Wigan and Leeds A teams

That’s true enough.
