Powells comments interest me, he'll sit down with QLT in the next couple of weeks which suggests a full bsck hasn't yet been signed sealed delivered..

Also we don't need Webster as a back rower. So does Webster stay as back up? Shenton / VaiVai centres?

Also think If Eden is to be full back we need to sign another winger. Going into next year with Minikin and Clare as our starting wingers wouldn't be fantastic.

I’d like to see:
FB - Abbey
RW - Vai Vai
RC - Mata’utia
LC - Shenton
LW - Eden.

That would mean getting two players who are under contract elsewhere, but at lower clubs (in Leigh’s case, not a SL club). It also means we’d need to lose three non-fed players (Hitchcox, QLT and one other). It’s another discussion but I’d try and move Roberts on.

I think that in reality we’ll see:
FB - Abbey
RW - Minikin
RC - Williame
LC - Shenton
LW - Eden.

Hitchcox and QLT to leave to make way for Abbey and Williame.

I doubt we'll see Williame he didn't reply to the contract offer in time so our interest has cooled somewhat.
what doesn't kill me simply makes me...stranger.

I know we’re scouring the world for a FB, so it’s unlikely to be Eden there?

Cant see Vaivai signing however much he or we want to. Hull KR hold the cards.

Matautia will join saints or Leeds imo.

Williame May sign, but when he’s exhausted all other avenues :(

Can see Abbey or maybe even the Widnes full back signing for 2 years if they go down...

What about jarrad hayne from para?only 29 but had alot of experience in nrl and international.they have already said he waint get his contract renewed at there so he would be a free agent.he has ties to benny roberts so could he persuade him to come over.id take him for a full back if the money was right and what a signing that could be

i had a look on one of the canberra forums other day and a couple of people said how well brad abbey is playing i presume in the reserve grade and what a good prospect he looks, i think we would be doing well to sign him myself

If we manage to sign him i think thats a good signing.alot of potential in the lad and hel want to make a name for hisen because hes behind about 4 people at the raiders so if he can make no1 his own then he could be another diamond in the rough for us
