Still not confirmed but it's a done deal apparently, we are just waiting on finalizing the details of releasing smith so we then have the funds to sign heighno and b.ryan

Oh my mistake. Thought it was done ! Great news for the club though. I'd prefer to keep smith though instead of heighington but
Agreed, but I wanna see him happy! He wants to stay here but needs to do what's best for his family
We are letting a 32-33 year old declining smith go, replacing him with one of the best backrowers in the world in his prime at age 29 in Lewis and with the loss of the ageing backrower we get a cheaper younger (but not as good) one in the rhino and a young above average solid player who can play anywhere 1-5 in Ryan.
Seems pretty good to me!

Just glad to see we purchased someone for the backline - just for something different.

we could still do with another in the perfect world...anyone care to guess where our salary cap is sitting at the moment

we will lose a little bit of sting in defence with smith gone,but lewy will more than make up for that in attack

I'm guessing its maxxed out!! Only because too register Ryan and rhino we have too wait till smith has been released. That's just going by media reports though.
Lewis can be brutal in defence.
And his attack will make up for it. Let's out score the opponent for once instead of out-defending them IMO

Be tempting to forget about Rhino and Ryan and go for Brett Stewart. He's a bit of a nob though and has some serious questions over how well his legs will hold up mid to long term

dont get me wrong dude but smith is brutal and lewy is a great defender but not in the same league of hurt, but twice the attacker that smith is and this is what we have been lacking...attacking options

Smith is a better defender in the ruck but Lewis definitely hurts people when tackling.
I hope we don't get Heighington and Gallen can play 80 minute of tight back row and do what Jez was doing.

If lewy can get his hands on the ball on the 4th or 5th play the ball and restrict Gals hail mary plays close to the line...life will be so much better
