If you’re looking at positives with Sezer especially but Adbull and Cust our last tackle plays are going to be miles better. Look at the difference Reynolds made in a few games.

Think by signing those players we’ve boxed ourselves in quota wise though and has prevented us adding a bit of strike that we also badly need. A lot depends on how highly the club rate Moy and Barron as being fully ready, it’s accepted that Rapana will be No1 but I think they’ll give him a go at centre at some point. Moy, Barron, Rapana, Hardaker, Martin backline would have a bit more strike if they could make it work defensively.

Would be a great signing, not without it's risk, but I don't see a better domestic option.

Like I say seems a lot better for this season but they’re still having to to try and pay clubs to take big earners like Bateman and Sullivan reminds me very much of Hull recently, especially looking at the players that have come through their system and let go as well as the horror signings. Hopefully we’ve both turned a corner.

On Bateman specifically, if you believe the figures the Aussie press are saying another back rower isn’t our top priority but he would still be decent value IMO. I read yesterday that Wests are willing to pay 300K Aussie dollars of his 600K salary (just north of 150K) if he wants to stay in Aus though he’s every right to dig his heels in.

Ok I fancy Cade Cust to be a real.good signing for us. Just got a feeling he could be a bolter for us this year

I wasnt sure when signed him. Using a bench spot on a quota player with a lot to prove was a risk. However, from the videos seen in social media. He looks sharp.

In Sutton and Bateman. I would take them both for the right price. If the tigers and and bulldogs are willing to pay a large chunk of their salary wage they’re worth it. Non quota experienced players with a lot to prove.

Moley seems to think there is at least two NRL sides interested in Bateman, imagine any chance of him staying in SL are pretty low
