Any news on what Joey Manu is up to? I know he's finished with Japanese rugby, and we are short for centre stocks.

Technically we would have until June 30 to sign him.

I wonder if we could get him on a 1 year or something. With Barney being out, finals success took a massive hit from a systems perspective, I wonder if we could band-aid it with another player that can create moments.

Right now we only have Metcalf and Leka (to some extent). Perhaps a centre that consistently was clocking 200m+ a game, with the ability to break the game open could be a strategy.

The metres made combining CNK, RTS, Manu, DWZ, Pompey would literally be 800m alone from those 5 haha
 
Curtis Morrin from the Bulldogs has signed with Titans for 26-27.
Dont know much about this guy.
Is he any good?
I think he is good .

Where does that leave some of the Titans outside backs ?
We should have a look as they have something we are missing … out and out speed.

Small forward, played for māori this year or last in the māori vs Indigenous game. Can’t recall which?
 
Apparently knights will be parting ways with Dane Gagai and not be renewing the mutual option between them both next year. Had seen a while back that he was going to rabbits, but I can’t see it now with them picking up MGT and linked to Taylan May
