So we're getting AKP and Chevy together Should have given the Fox a chance last year then, and force Reece to play out his contract with us

If that interest was genuine, I think Webster is after another fullback. I’ve watched some highlights and can see why they’d be interested, but I’d love us to go after Tolu Koula to play fullback in November

He was in devastating form in the second half of the year. Almost unstoppable at times. Only way he moves is if he gets fullback money offer. I am not sure he is a fullback though. Yep good idea to be watching him at the end of the year! Scincillating speed too, him and AKP, plus Kali would add some REAL DYNAMISM to a backline.

Google says he's contracted till end of 2027? Or I have the wrong guy?

Been watching over their forum and there seems to be a genuine concern that they won’t hold onto him

The Perth Bears have also reportedly identified Munster as a target, and his manager Braith Anasta revealed he is open to that move.

“We haven’t been formally contacted by R360 but we have heard murmurs. Yes, there could be some interest in him,” Anasta said.

“Right now, Cameron is open to the Perth Bears.

“I know the Perth Bears are interested in him. They are open to signing him.

“Cameron hasn’t said I want to go to Perth, but the Storm are planning ahead and by the time he is off-contract again, they might not be able to afford him.”

I’d throw bank at Fa'alogo if he’s done waiting behind Paps, maybe a combo deal we take him and NAS at full price and we’ll have to release Marata etc

Titans forum saying a gc paper is reporting a deal is close to done for Fifita to souths and titans will pay $500k per year of his salary apparently. Souths need Moale to go to manly early and manly need to make a space for him to do so

If Souths can't pony up, I hope we take Fifita for one year on 500k. Absolute steal if true

Hopefully we can use that roster spot on an actual NRL player this time, not a hope and a prayer. Bit harsh there I reckon.

Honestly, I don't think Munster would strive in a struggling team. He's a great player no doubt, but he goes missing in the big moments often, and doesn't have the skillset to be more than a supporting X factor half. He's like a better version of Luai, great 6, but do you really want to pay $1m + for a supporting half? I wouldn't. I don't think the Storm will either, with Wishart and Pezet there. But the Knights have paid up with Brown, Tigers have with Luai.

I think he's going to take the money and longer contract to go to Perth. And I hope he does, he brings some star power off the park which is important for a new team, and is what the Dolphins missed in their first couple years. Thankfully their long term investment in Katoa is starting to bare fruit.

Can't wait to see who the Bears pick up. Tanah Boyd looks like a no brainer, would be a great 3rd choice half or an OK 7 alongside Munster if they fail to sign a better player. Taine could be on the radar? Herbie Farnworth would be an amazing pick up to play FB (I would go for him over Munster), Turbo would be a great centre option if he is pissed at Manly. Damien Cook for a year or 2 would be worth it IMO.
