The Cronulla side is playing really well and they are obviously well coached. I would certainly look at Uele who is off contract this year and Talakai who is off contract for 2023. They would certainly enhance our forward pack and let go Proctor, Wallace, Lisone and ESE
Could Drinkwater be a thought if Masters goes ?

Proctor would fit in well at Dad's Army and the game's evolution in the need for speed in the middle leaves Wallace standing still so to both
Quick summary of the extended squad members weekend performances for feeder teams in qcup:
Tweed lost to Norths Devils
-Jojo Fifita started on the right wing. Scored a try which I've posted the gif of below (thanks qrl webstie). Busy with some heavy redzone carries. Conceded a try on his edge but had to jam after his centre was slow to release from the inside. Yet to see him in any space.
-JTS Kaleb Ngamanu (18 y/o) made his debut on the left wing. Held his own after a shaky start.
-Paul Turner played 6. Was solid but I think he plays better as a 1, or a 14 against tired forwards.
Jojo's try:
Burleigh def Redcliffe Dolphins
-Lofi started on the left wing. Is definitely bigger than he was last year. Still crazy fast. Scored a nice try that only he could score with pure pace and acrobatics. Busy redzone carries. Would love to see him in a Titans-style exit set with some space to move. Won't be caught in open space.
-Tony Francis started on the right wing. Scored a nice try himself. Big, strong and looks awkward to tackle. Getting better and more involved each game.
-Esan Marsters played right centre. Busy but probably tried too hard with a few errors and poor decisions. Was solid without being spectacular.
-Iszac Fa'asuamaleaui came off the bench and was good again. Carries strong, defends tough, and works hard. He's got some room to fill out physically still too.
-Jacob Alick solid all-round. He's got some real potential.
-Again, ex-Titan Tristan Powell was brilliant. Still 20 years old. He might've underwhelmed last year but if he keeps this up they'll have no choice but to bring him back in.

Thanks for the insights HS.
Four reasons to escape to Queensland: Sun, Surf, Sand & the Titans.
Thanks HS, and agree with Powell he has been a power house upfront

The Titans are leading the race to sign highly-rated new England cap Matty Lees.
A powerhouse middle forward from St Helens, Lees has been knocking on the door of Test selection for some time, with only injuries halting his progress to the international stage.
Several NRL clubs have made inquiries about Lees, who has already played for England Knights and won a Challenge Cup and Super League grand final.
The 24-year-old was brought into the top grade by Gold Coast coach Justin Holbrook, who was then in charge at St Helens.
That will doubtless give the Titans the edge in the battle for his services, but several other clubs are also in the hunt.
Lees is a gun
We will need some replacing middles if we want to be a contender
