I have heard that one of the cladding king sponsors suggested the club are in the process of trying to pay Ligi off so I’ll assume he won’t be here.
Addition of a centre - Hankinson (OOC), King (OOC) or pay a fee for Sam wood at Cas. Shame Pratt has a long deal at wakey.
Halfback - think Cust has done it tough having Chamberlain/Briscoe combination as BK row/Centre but if Will Pryce is available it’s a no brainer.
Lock those two positions down and I’d be V happy going into 2025. Would be very happy to add Harrison and think it’s a shame that Knight has been written off as thought he looked V handy.
I don't think Knight has been written off as such. But the quota situation is pretty tight. If he rips up trees over the coming months then it might change our plans, particularly if we can get Bell off quota. But we badly need quality at centre and stand off and it seems unlikely that we will find both domestically. Best case scenario is that we get King and Pryce, but both will be in demand elsewhere.
