The only thing is signing someone like Orford due to his age, he would only be here for about 2 seasons 3 max and then I would imagine we will be back to square one.

I'd take 1 season!
A lot can happen in 2 or 3 years and a top class 7 like Orford could play SL til at least 35/36.
Who is to say that if Orford signs for 3 years we wont have unearthed a really good local 17 year old 7 than can learn from him for 3 seasons then take over the reigns?

Prince - Signed a new deal this season. Cronk - Signed a new 5 year deal last season. Orford - Despite him being top class there is a chance he might just fancy SL. Last season he won everything there was to win both as a team and an individual. He won't play for Aus and probably won't get picked for Origin so he may be tempted to move.
I can't see us getting any of those three tbh and after that I am not sure who is available.
Im hoping our clubs contact may know more about whose available than we do!

Weve been in the 'lets wait until next season to see which 7s are off contract' scenario since Tony Smith left so I dont think that will be anything new

We'd turn him into a hooker!
