Agree with most, Wakeman would be poor, Flanagan would do well from what I've seen of both.

Would’ve freed another quota spot up for a forward and then we could potentially use Carlos quota for the following season if Cliff flops and needs us to save the day

My major concern is that with all the investment in academies and recently, reserves, where are all the English talented half backs. Leeds was a conveyer belt for halves, have up to today 2 Aussie halves. Saints have Cust who appears to have moved to hooker. Can’t be bothered to go through all the other Super League teams but I read a Total RL story last week that Lam, Croft and obviously Clifford were being tracked by NRL. It’s bonkers, understudy Aussie halves come to Super League and after tearing it up here go back and end up being understudies again but they’re on better deals and at home. For the life of me I just cannot understand Clifford’s reasoning, he was offered 3 times his original contract to stay at FC, signs for NQC for 1 year contract as an understudy and will end up back in Super League in 2025.

Origin have to use half the samoa squad !

And as we saw the top nrl samoa beat England by a single point

Saints beat penrith in their backyard

The gulf isn't as big as people make out these days

Slater, inglis, cronk, Thurston, Smith are a class above anything in nrl and will take alot of replacing

Tedesco had to play for Italy at world cup before last!

Cherry Evans was a "star" this year couldn't get close to Thurston for last 10 years wonder why

Nrl isn't all that
