one of the few 'name' players left in the game that would shift some shirts and passes as well

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.

Big Dave T wrote: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?
