Rhys Walsh is a gun. Shame he's locked in at the Warriors now.

Nicho Haynes is carving Dragons up and is off contract this year. Has played 5/8 before and may be a good pickup . Whilst he is not quick he does have great game awareness and set up players around him. 5 try assists in today’s game.

Homer Simpson would be a good pick up right now.
Four reasons to escape to Queensland: Sun, Surf, Sand & the Titans.
Kurt Mann could be our go at five eight for next few seasons. Off contract this year and has really stepped up his playmaking abilities with Mitch Pearce being out. If we persist with Fogerty, would have decent balance of a run and kick game. He's also a central Queensland boy so the Coast would be closer to home than Newcastle. Other option from the Knights would be Tex Hoy. He's young and cheap, can play fullback or five eight. I think the Knights will only be able to keep one of the two with Hoy looking for a starting role. (obviously not gonna get the 1 jersey with Ponga) so Hoy would be a lot easier to attain.
Im not sold on Nicho Hynes either, I think he is made to look good in the storm system, and would struggle alongside a half like Fogerty.
If we want to get a defensive half Lachlan Lewis could be a go. He's not going to set the world on fire but he is one of the best defending halfs in the game and would make the majority of tackles Ash misses. Im not a big fan of Lewis but I feel with the pack we have, he could slide right in and be 10x more effective than Ash
Yuck, I don't rate Mann at all. Hynes is hard to gauge since he's in a good side, and Lewis has been given enough chances to show his worth and has failed to do so.
We already have Homer
Herman
Hynes is about the only one I would offer a contract to but otherwise I feel we will be stuck with Boyd/Milf/Ash
Hooker is another issue where I'm not sure what we do
For anyone interested in the highlights of young Jayden Campbell's hatrick on Saturday

I'm getting old, remember that little kid running around the Hornets when my kids were there.
Tyson Smoothy should be levered away from Bellamy... I realize he’s signed there but he’s behind Grant and Smith.

Thanks mdrew, his size did concern me at first but you look at some of the other young guns debuting in other teams and they are also small but can handle the big league albeit whilst still bulking up.
I think Jayden can only offer up more than our current wingers, maybe the Dogs game is the perfect game to debut him into the nrl, where he may not necessarily get completely targeted for his debut game eg vsing a Storm, Penrith, Roosters, Souths outfit.
But boy does he glide across the field nicely, it would be great to have another strike player to compliment BK and AJ. Fingers crossed
