Worryingly we intended to use a quota place on that PNG full back who hadn't played first grade and was also heavily linked with that PNG hooker who hadn't made the NRL either. Surely we should be aiming higher than that.

Not surprising really is it given the rest of our recruitment. We need a scrum half and a centre assuming trueman goes. Not that keen on lafai or Mcdonald as both seem to be on the downhill slope. Surely cartwright can find us a couple of decent players from oz

Keep mentoning the word ambition. Apart from Asiata i dont see any

Laifai's age is his concern and Mcdonald seems to move clubs regularly.
I'd be happy with either, doubt we get either, hopefully pick up another Fonua (first spell) from the NRL.
Same with a halfback.
They really haven't been excellent. Their stats are pretty average

Thats why Ritchie Rich has brought in Hardaker and Chamberlain Both well known for their strong running,tackle breaking and offloading. Hardaker in particular is a wingers dream

Mcdonald also has more trys than Percival and Wardle, when I've seen them both play (which is most games) they have been excellent for most games, they are starring for a team in 4th.
