Saw a rumour that the Knights might be interested in Flegler somewhere

No idea if accurate or not, but if they lose Best they might have money to throw at him

I still think us losing Flegler, Knowles and Kaufusi plus probably Lemuelu is going to be the key to balancing the cap, keeping everyone else and ideally adding a serviceable middle or two

At the end of the day I feel like if we can keep Herbie, Hammer, Bostock, Plath, Donoghoe and Katoa, the window basically stays open as long as we do that now that we have Cobbo and Naufahu on the wings and Pouniu and Finefuiaki in the second row

Nervous times waiting for November hopefully we keep everyone we want. In the meantime we can enjoy Herbie doing some brutal things to France today (and hopefully Williams gets a half dozen try assists, granted against reserve grade level opposition today)

Heard an interview with Croker on Williams.

Thr former raiders centre said he was a natural 6. That he played well in canberra, and that he will do better with at 6 with a true 7 next to him.

Filled me with more confidence.

Yeah ok that makes sense

That said the only club that would make sense is the Broncos - Cowboys won't have the cap for another middle probably or need, Titans have plenty of need but don't have the cap space at least until Bai leaves and have other holes in their roster to fill too

Broncos would easily make the most sense if they want him back and with Haas leaving and Willison not guaranteed to re sign and Riki leaving they may have some room

Good to see Williams and Herbie going well for England so far
 
Cap is going up remember 1m isn't what it used to be back when Ash Taylor got a million etc

They're both so key to the side i'd pay both personally and try to cover it by replacing Flegler and Kaufusi with cheap middles and letting Lemuelu leave as well but we can't end up with a terrible forward pack either and still have to pay Plath, Donoghoe and Katoa next year

I can't see why he'd go to the Dragons unless he really wants to live in that area specifically as despite their 'roster overhaul' they are still nowhere near competing. Hopefully we can make him a decent offer

As long as we don't lose both of them we'll be okay but losing both would be a disaster.
