Esi Tonga has signed for Manly, no mention of Willie. I think it's obvious we'd be linked with him due to Hock going and talk of George signing with NZ warriors.



I think Gelling has the potential to be world class, he just needs a run in the team and some fine tuning, he was never going to replace George last year. From what I saw of him he's an awkward player to stop and doesn't mind grafting for the team.

greg eden to hull kr from hudds another one thats surprising - wasnt he touted as the next big thing earlier this year?

Brown was raving about him, seemed to fallout of favour when Brown went

Which probably says more about Brown than Eden.



Personally I don't rate either as top draw.

Was Wane in Oz purely trying to offload Hock or was he there potentially trying to recruit ???

He was there on holiday visiting his daughter who lives in Oz mainly.



The word was he was keeping an eye out for potential signings as well and he also spent a few days with the Gold Coast and NZ warriors teams I believe.



I can't see anymore incomings unless Hock goes.

Which would leave us with



Tomkins

Charnley

Goulding

Thornley/Gelling/Hughes

Richards

Green

Smith

Mossop

McIlorum

Prescott

Hansen

Hock

O'Loughlin



Lauaki

Farrell

Taylor

Flower

Tuson

Tomkins

Lloyd



Powell/Murphy on loan



Worries me this squad. Not much experience and no depth, couple of injuries and we are frigged.

Leeds heavily linked with Tonga www.canberratimes.com.au/rugby-l ... 29ewn.html? No mention of us

Wembley and Old Trafford would be starts.

Tonga will be on a decent wedge at Leeds and he's no spring chicken. His forms not been great from what I read for a while but a move could spark him up.



It's a tough one. He'd be a bit of a gamble but then every signing is. I'm not sure if Lenagan wants to give the younger player an opportunity this year or if we're trying to keep costs down a little by running with a smaller squad.



Either way I'm looking forward to seeing guys like Thornley, Hughes and Powell playing more minutes. We'll need some luck with injuries to get close to a trophy IMO but if we get that our first choice 17 is good enough.

More than happy to see us give the likes of Gelling and Thornley the opportunity to claim the spot personally. No point signing these guys to play in the reserves.
