Great signing for you guys, think you'd have been better off getting a quality S/O and centre personally, but as someone said above, when a world class player wants to join you snap him up.

Unless Martin, Aspinwall and Turner are massively over paid.
I was told recently that Manu & O'Meley aren't in Gentle's plans for next season by somebody with tenous links to the club, whilst i doubt they know what Gentle is thinking it is possible especially as the day after they told me this Ellis announced that he wanted to return to UK, would hope they are as think if we can keep them and maybe move Tickle to prop next season we will have the makings of an awesome pack!!

Priority now has to be a right centre, hopefully Gentle will have a few contacts and we can get a decent young centre from the NRL.
I'd still keep tickle in the 2nd row, there will always be injuries and you could use Manu off the bench
Hopefully O Meley will stay and we can sign another young prop (Kyle Amor would be my choice) to fight out the 4th spot with Bowden.
Halfback is a difficult on at the minute as Horne and Seymour are getting better each week and we have Nicklas and Ellis coming through, the lack of decent halfbacks is also a big problem.
I would release Turner, Martin, Burnett and Aspinwall.
Is there going to be anyone ready to push through from academy level for the right centre birth? I know people keep saying release Turner but i think he looks good going forward and with a decent run in the team his defence may improve especially working under a coach who seems to know what he is actually doing.
Who would you bring in at right centre if were to sign one from elsewhere?

And so is Patrick.
Maybe Watts agent and close mate can convince him.

Horne, Seymour and Ellis are all contracted for next year, unless Horne moves to right centre (he won't imo) then another half back won't be coming.
