Nicoll-Klokstad anyone? Dropped to the bench by chair kicker this week, might be feeling a little disaffected. Only concern at the moment is his form isn't the best.

I'm okay with it actually.
There's no quick fix, Newcastle thought Ponga was their quick fix, one guy isn't the solution and given what we'd have to pay him.. he would have to be the solution.

I’m aware of that and not saying there should be wholesale changes, just one or two at the ‘top end’ of the roster and at least a couple in the lower end.. If we did nothing more than add a Reece Walsh at the pointy end and turn over a couple of the journeymen forwards at the bottom end, that would be enough of a boost going forward into the next few years imo, given what we have in-house and in our development pipeline

He came off injured last week so he may not be fully fit.

Well it didn’t hurt. Knights had 3 spoons in a row before he signed and they’ve made the finals twice since.

Much like Edwards at Penrith, I don't see CNK working unless he has elite play makers in the halves. He doesn't create any points.

I’m saying that we kind of have one though… I think we forget that. Our other half will always be serviceable. I think if we can make sure we get a hooker in place that runs, defends and most importantly has good service. Someone off the back of Reynolds like CNK for even just 1 or 2 years (Cobbo has a long way to go before he can play fullback week in week out). Reece Walsh is a pipe dream right now. Let alone KP (don’t want him) and Munster (really want him but won’t happen). The man played an instrumental role in Raiders making the GF. It was a change of scenery like that which caused that season. Could a move to Brisbane be what he needs to get back to that footy. I think it couldn’t hurt to give a phone call and see if he is interested.

He is better than our current options for sure, but if we are going to market he isn't the person to target.

I wouldn't be against going with the Roosters method of signing Ponga for however many years it is before the next target is available (2 years?) and just dumping him afterwards. He'd be a huge upgrade over any of our other fullbacks and then the Broncos can get rid of him if he isn't working out or there's another target available.
What other options does the club have, just keep waiting for someone to be available and keep underperforming with the current squad that obviously isn't working out?

Consider we are paying 3.0m for our average starting pack (excluding hooker), we are probably 1m overs right there. Its why we cant and shouldn't pay 1.0 for Haas.

The numbers thrown around for Flegler are nothing short of shameful:
Broncos young gun turns down MONSTER contract from rival club
The Brisbane prop has reportedly signed a seven-figure deal to remain at Red Hill.

Hope he is on our radar at least as a fullback depth option.

I think when that happened wasnt it flagged by Smokin Joe or someone that the $1.3m package was also including an upgrade on his existing year, so it was basically $1.3m over 3yrsThe numbers thrown around for Flegler are nothing short of shameful:

Would we need to sign him on a Train and Trial ?
I think he can be a really good option for us at fb
