If Houghton gets injured we won't have a specialist hooker. We have cover for every position apart from hooker which after half back is arguably the key position. If Litten is ready then problem solved if not who fills in? On the basis of your point Connor is a waste of cap as he will probably start in the U23's. I don't often disagree with you Dave but I do on this one!

Godinet would be a good fit cap permitting and he's not getting a game at Manly. He's Samoan as well

Connor is a totally difference situation as he plays a number of positions and I think he has said real chance of starting either at 6 or in the centre.

There is no chance of a new hooker displacing Houghton and he never gets injured, if he was to miss the odd game we could cover it internally. If it was long term we would have to make a mid season signing possible loan signing.

It would be a waste of cap space signing a player who would umlikely play many games, the same cannot be said about Connor.

The money would be better spent of retaining Abdul or HTW.

To do what, play in the reserves?

For the future and cover, is it really that hard to understand?

I'd make another move for Brough.

I really don't know with this one... We have a great team spirit at the moment, just have a feeling he'd upset a few if he came in.

I'd take a risk with him, although has Blake Green got a club for next year.

The other option is to keep Micheals, but I can't help but think that a half is even more a priority of the rumours about Connor are correct.

I guess if the Connor deal does fall through, then we can still go to the NRL for a half

I'd be tempted to look at Soward also.
