It's worth looking at players under contract in 24. They may get an early release. If we're after a "full back" we could be considering a half.
The WC comment sounds a bit of a throw away remark. We've described Okunbur as a "power house". Anyone who is genuinely WC wouldn't be considering SL. Just makes me think it's someone towards the end of their career who has some international experience.
I'll go for Moylan or Milford. Both were of interest to SL earlier in the season.
FIVE-EIGHTH Fa'amanu Brown, Kurt Donoghoe, Matt Frawley, Ben Hampton, Iverson Matai
HALFBACK Jake Bourke, Adam Clune, Kyle Flanagan, Dean Hawkins, Cody Hunter, Drew Hutchison, Cooper Johns, Brad Schneider, Brandon Wakeham
Off contract 2024
FULLBACK Rocco Berry, Tom Chester, Kade Dykes, Dylan Edwards, Daine Laurie, Joseph Manu, Nick Meaney, Cody Ramsey, Tyrell Sloan, Joseph Suaalii, Leon Te Hau, Starford To'a, Taine Tuaupiki, Sunia Turuva, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak
FIVE-EIGHTH Talatau Amone, Tom Dearden, Adam Doueihi, Kieran Foran, Tyson Gamble, Jye Gray, Luke Keary, Jarome Luai, Ezra Mam, Anthony Milford, Matt Moylan, Hayze Perham, Paul Turner
HALFBACK Jake Arthur, Jake Clifford, Phoenix Crossland, Jamal Fogarty, Shaun Johnson, Zack Lamont, Jock Madden, Luke Metcalf, Kodi Nikorima, Niwhai Puru, Adam Reynolds, Toby Sexton, Aidan Sezer, Chad Townsend, Connor Tracey, Thomas Weaver

We won't sign a world class FB, if Clarke said that he is talking nonsense.
On Okunbor, I'll reserve judgement until I've seem him play SL, on that try, Kikua was as much at fault won't have the likes of DCE running at him here is SL.

If we didn't want to extend him for next year, fair enough, but I really don't understand why we let him go this year. Unless something went on behind the scenes as it makes no sense from a playing point of view. Hopefully everything will look rosier once we have a clearer picture of recruitment.
If we’re signing a fullback from aus I hope it’s Bailey Hodgson. Probably ahead of Litten in his development and non quota meaning we could sign a half or back rower as well.
Imagine having Litten and Hodgson battling it out for the next 10 years.

Still no decision made on either Taylor and Houghton. Taylor said he wants another year.
