a rotation of Bailey. Laffranchi, James and either White/Henderson or a new signing.
I agree with S6 except I don't think we need a new front row. You could add Tagataese to that rotation. We are exposed in 9, 7, 6 and 1 if you take Friend out, Prince's poor form and indecision over 6 and 1.

Four reasons to escape to Queensland: Sun, Surf, Sand & the Titans.
Laffranchi didn't look interested against the cowboys...took a hit up and stopped before the line.
Was he scared of the Cowboys pack or does he have other issues?

The results have come in. Unfortunately I will be out of action. With the high ankle sprain.

Anthony Laffranchi is on top of St Helens' list of NRL players
ENGLISH club St Helens is ready to launch a raid on the NRL after drawing up a hit list of targets topped by Gold Coast forward Anthony Laffranchi.
It is understood that Laffranchi has been the subject of a massive offer from the Super League side as it attempts to fill the void created by the imminent departure of England captain James Graham, who will play in the NRL next season with Canterbury.
Should Laffranchi knock them back _ he has an offer from the Gold Coast and has been mooted as a potential target for Cronulla _ St Helens could yet turn to the Wests Tigers, the club of their former coach Royce Simmons.
Tigers prop Bryce Gibbs is also believed to be on St Helens' hit list, as is Penrith forward Trent Waterhouse. The Saints are scouring the NRL for frontrowers at exactly the right time, with a surfeit of quality forwards on the market.
Apart from Laffranchi, Gibbs and Waterhouse, Manly pair Brent Kite and Jason King are up for grabs, as well as Melbourne's Adam Blair.
Graham and Blair hold the key, and have for some time, with their decisions likely to have ramifications for others. Blair is expected to join the Tigers, although reports Gibbs has become available suggest the club is attempting to make salary-cap room to fit the Storm and New Zealand star on its books.
As yet, no one has been lost to England but Laffranchi could find the dollars too hard to resist. The Titans' decision to sign Luke Douglas this week makes it unlikely they can financially compete with St Helens.
The Titans, who secured Bulldogs centre Jamal Idris on a five-year deal, are also in the process of re-signing former NSW prop Luke Bailey.

Would really love to see Laffranchi stay on with us but with all our recent signings, management surely has some people they're looking at letting go and I don't think they would fight to keep Boof's higher offers.
We missed Laffranchi yesterday against the Eels and so far this season more than we known I think. He is a rock in the second row and steadies our ship when others get that rush of blood. I hope we can find a way to keep him but I'm fairly certain we won't.
Geese are the ultimate team players.
They honk to encourage one another!
played 2 games this season,scored a try in each 1 refs call that should have benefit of doubt, we need players who can cross the line, surely a keeper???
Any inside word on how Laffranch's injury has been progressing?
What round can we expect seeing him back on the park? We need him, stat!
He will be back in 2 weeks

I assume that's back in the side? As opposed to back on the training paddock...?
If so, woohoo! The bloke must live and breathe fitness and footy, so often he comes back earlier than expected.
