I second the idea of Watkins. Dn't think it will happen but I'd definitely be making enquiries if I was Myler.

Cross and Nikorima would be good pick ups. But is Nikorima worth more than a one year deal, as he would take up our last quota spot for 2026?

Nikorima was linked to us last year. He's probably worth a one year deal and then he can prove his worth. Issue is clubs are in a predicament as to when the quota exemption will apply and for how long. Fact is we can't go into the season with Sezer and Cust. Then Charles and Kemp as back up. It scuppered us last year!

I would say two to three years which at least gives clubs a bit of time to plan around it.

If the quota dispensation passes I'd look at Shane Wright too, be a handy pick up for us. Nikorima an obvious choice if we need a running 6

I’ve actually liked the little what I’ve seen of him but he’s had baggage in the past and got a lot less NRL game time then Cust over a much longer period in the lower grades. Not sure he’s worth a quota spot beyond a short term deal. Maybe I’m reading way too much into it but the only thing that makes me think we might have something up our sleeves with a halfback is the wording in Bowers article that we’ve backed away from the Sneyd deal. More then likely just wanting to save face knowing Sneyd not interested, but you never know can’t see anyone else potentially available other then Nikorima and that’s only if the quota exemption is voted through.
