Think some fans are going to be disappointed. We won’t replace Watts, we have enough props and Connor will replace Kelly. Back row we need at least 1, 2 if Sika leaves. Not having Josh Jones though. Maybe Elliott Whitehead or the kid Greenwood at Gold Coast fancy coming home. Not that I would, mind.
Certainly no need to rush in for a replacement. Taylor, Paea, Bowden, Green, Masi and Fash is still an excellent set of props. In fact I don't think there is any area really in need of strengthening. If we don't use his cap space then I'm ok with that, although I'm sure we will be putting the feelers out.
Think people are being very harsh on Josh Jones. Always a handful, makes bags of tackle busts, and at 24 his best days should be ahead of him. I would be happy with him as a replacement for Mini. I wouldnt touch Lui with a bargepole. As a player he is no better than decent. Imo we already have two better players who can move there in Connor and Abdull. More importantly we have just binned a player for off field issues that pale into insignificance compared to Lui's past.

Well yes, just meant I was surprised about his record, hadn't fully realised. Can't see we'd be in for him that context as you say.
Gutted, just lost our best forward, and don't feel as confident as some about going with what we've got , think we need to bring someone in rapid, although greens performance against Leeds was promising , just need to see it consistently

Yep. 2010 he was up in court for it but escaped punishment. 2012 he was fined and given a suspended sentence for kicking and headbutting his girlfriend. The NRL banned him for the rest of the year.
I know its years ago now and people change, but personally I wouldnt want someone at the club with things like that in their past.
