Possible Simon Mannering and maybe a young kiwi forward.
Think Mannering is a good shout with Motu's connections and would be a good replacement for either Ellis or Mini. Would have liked someone like Fensom tho he has recently signed a 2 year deal with the Cowboys.
Think its definitely going to be difficult to replace a player like Ellis without using a quota spot.
Whoever comes in to replace Ellis and Mini they are going to have big boots to fill.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Don't think we'll secure anyone younger then Ellis who can play anywhere near his standard. The NRL is really tying up the talent now and fair play to them.

Mannering 30, he's got plenty of years in the NRL yet.
Widdops last contract was $600k pa, When Ben Hunt has just signed a 6 year $1mil per season deal Widdop must fancy his chances of getting a good deal.
The best youngsters in the Nrl have already signed million dollars deals before they've debuted. See Kelly and Suli for example.
