I get that our pack needs an enforcer and that this thread is for all kinds of fantasy talks, but what's with the recent love for guys like Blore or Lodge? Adding bog average players with a bad attitude is recipe for disaster and the last thing we need.
Stinks of Band Aid solution... speaking of which, I'd sooner give Julie a shot.

Blore is not bog average

I think Blore is just one of very few guys who fit the criteria. Over 105kgs, potential to improve, won't cost a motza, etc.

Bullemor was mentioned too. He's a goer.

Outside of that you look at maybe grabbing an older guy. E.g. Maybe try to lure McLean back to Sydney.

I like the idea of trying to get Bullemor, seems the type of player who would really push the other middles for their spots

I respectfully disagree, but the sample size to form an opinion either way is rather small anyway.
He's showed a lot of promise, in a shocking side and had struggled to find any consistency between injuries.

He's a 'shot at the stumps' style signing. If it works, fantastic, if it doesn't, not a huge loss as he should come fairly cheap.

Must say I can't speak to the type of person he is though.

Blore is a good bench player, mainly a middle who can fill in on the edge mid game if injuries strike. Offers another style than we currently have on our books

John Asiata looking to return to the nrl. 3 clubs interested. Been killing it over in super league from what I read. Maybe worth trying to get here.
