A host of clubs have shown interest in Trey Mooney apparently, knights are a definite one. I hope we’re one, can cover front row, lock and was initially a second rower. Does make me wonder if there’s some attitude issues not being able to make raiders first grade? But they’ve got a lot of good forwards too. He might have that attitude that WahsaurusRex was talking about too like a Leota or Leniu and could thrive with JFH

I think they need to get rid of Mooney to re-sign Papali’i as he dosent want to go to England anymore

Who would you drop? Dallin even with the poor form he is in, is by far our best winger (other than RTS). The season is still well in hand, and not worth risking blooding a rookie or risking more Kosi meltdowns.

Rather have green but fast Sio kali missing in defence than dallin should the same without the upside though you could argue that dallin might come right before the finals run
