Lets not get ahead of ourselves the entire fan base has been waiting for a replacement for Leafa for the whole off season. The Bod has been unable to deliver thus far. Lets get what we desperatley need first .. a running backrower.
A lightening quick stand off would be a dream but it aint going to happen. I would settle for replacing what we have lost.
Incidentally (1) I don't buy this wait and see recruit half way through the season. You get your best team together at the outset. i dont see Brisbane or St Helens leaving a squad spot open for half way through the season. (2) The players are out there just needs will determination and good homework.. I said it on another post if Celtic Crusader can recruit Darren Mapp and Terry Martin both in the mid twenties having played over 60 first grade games (including last season) then we can recruit a young running sercond row from NZ / Aus. I know he needs a EU passport but lets be frank 1/3 of those blokes running round the NRL are eligable for EU passports.
