Smh says parra having a clean out. Allgood permission to look elsewhere. Paulo fielding big offers but no mention of us, Parra want to keep him. Young half/centre Apirana Pewhairangi is being cut loose. He's a 22 yr old Kiwi who captained newy's NYC team and played for NZ residents. Could be worth a look.

that British billionaire seems hell bent on buying a NRL team... I'd assume he will be linked to us anytime soon if not already... I wonder if keogh and the gang will explore it?

Sounds ok on paper, but reality is its lacking go forward and some true grafters in the forwards. We dont need 3 second rowers on the bench, could be argued thats actually 4. Drop the Sop unfortunately and needs to be replaced with a good straight forward prop with good work rate and defense. Then pop D.Fifita to the bench.

I love the way Paulo runs , he is only good for 30mins a game but a front row of Fifita , Paulo , fifita and taga would be crazy

Probably mixing up Junior and Joseph Paulo mate. Junior is the prop and he's signed for next year. He is a gun though.

Imagine if we keep Penani and sign this guy, poor NSW Cup commentators having to deal with:
6. Apriana Pewhairangi
7. Penani Manumalealii
That is gold! Get it done whoever the hell signs our players these days!

We have really missed that sort of player this year. Gibbs can do it on a good day but has a few too many errors in his game. Can Mitchell Allgood be that guy?

In my opinon you just play Gal, Heigno, and Arona in the middle. I would be ok with swapping Arona/or Sop with another Prop, if we have a decent one.

We could always take Taga, D fifita, A fifita and Prior into a game and have a 4 prop rotation

Timana Tahu won't be retained by Newcastle. Anyone interested? He obviously won't be first choice into first grade, but might be a decent experienced option for next year. I'm a bit each way on this one.
