With the impending signing of a new stand off and an outside back together with the retention of Michaels how is he going to fit in. It would be a waste of a quota spot if he's a squad player.
He's probably going to be the biggest headache next season for team selection. I like him at centre, but we've not signed Griffin to be a squad player I'm sure. You could move Fonua back to the wing, but the guys just been named in the dream team as a centre. There's some tough calls to make. I think wait until these signings are announced, and then we might have a better idea.

Is there a possibility that either Carlos or Mahe have an opportunity to sign for an NRL team?
I don't have any inside track on this, but additional signings (both personnel and cap wise) would seem unusual at the moment. If there is anything in the story about Manu possibly leaving on health ground (just going from what has been posted on here), I would have thought some depth in the forwards might be a consideration?
With Pearson saying that we're looking at an outside back and stand off maybe a few more could be leaving. Only rumors but Lancaster and Naughton were said to be leaving, although I think Naughton's mum put that one to bed on twitter. Either or both of them leave then maybe leave Carlos for cover? (although he's not a winger!)

I think theres room in the team for Carlos. I like him as a player. Very skilful and a good defender. If Shaul wasn't doing so well, I could see Carlos as a very good linking full back. He's got a pass on him. If we get a stand off, and manage to keep the backs we already have, I'll be very excited about 2017.

Carlos needs to show more creativity, he might have a pass on him but like Sneyd we don't see it enough.

Im really pleased Radders is being ruthless and whilst giving Tuimavave every chance to shine this season has realised that this is one that hasnt worked out and is looking to replace him. Tuimavave came with a not too brilliant record and has shown touches of being ok but has generally been that invisible its meant Sneyd has been our only half back
