Spencer Leniu

[Rafferty]

We were always going to retain Quac or try, very glad we did. We were also looking for a quality prop and had a shot a Fleggler, thinking we still need a marquee prop and Leniu would be ideal.

What a solid starting front row Paseka and Lenui, I get that we’re handi-CAP-ped at present, but surely we should be looking at shopping a few of our also rans and a bottle of sauce to at least try and put a genuine premiership piece on the board, it’s not every day a prop like Spencer becomes open as a possibility.

Why did we ever resign sauce and why on earth for 3 years, similar with Brown, who should of been a year by year prospect, Lodge, I get it all low budge except sauce, you could throw in Sipp’s, yes they all give us depth and help balance our cap, what they don’t give us is a genuine premiership prop, Spencer on the other hand.

Hell throw a back on the market and find the coin, what we really need is that forward pack leader, a prop with some grunt and the balls to have a crack, like him or loath him at least Spencer would bring the aggression, along with the mobility, grunt and someone to lead our pack, we have been lacking that forward leader for far to long, don’t think you can win a GF without one. All our GF winning sides had one or two, like most sides that walk away as premiers. Got to ask, which of our props will lead us to a GF victory?

I think our buys over the last couple of seasons tell you that our cap is screwed… Brooks being the outlier but even he came cheap (for a half)…

I would say that beating off the knights for Sandwich, the lifetime Gauc contract, renewing our vows with the Preacher, the massive Koula upgrade and the looming upgrade for Hoppa (on top of Chez and multiple Turbos) means we will not be in the market for marquee players anytime soon…

Agree - the fact we have retained players is also a decent pointer but until there is a player on the market that is in demand there is no way of knowing if we are a "destination" club

Yes to Leniu.

I have a suspicion he might been keen to return to the riff thou, now that Cap space for a prop would exist with JFH departure.

 

[KNUCKLES]

What is that based on? I am not sure we have even been in the market for any players let alone lost out

Ok well off the top of my head last year we enquired about Angus Chrichton. He just said no end of story. We were chasing nathan brown yrs before he joined us, to no avail. Only came as his last resort. There are plenty of references out there just to early in the morninh to dig them up from the memory bank

 

[KNUCKLES]

Yes to Leniu.

I have a suspicion he might been keen to return to the riff thou, now that Cap space for a prop would exist with JFH departure.

I dont think jfh was on a big pay packet hence his move for a pay day at the Warriors. I could be wrong but I feel papalii would almost be a like for like in terms of cap space mixed in with upgrades of other squad members

I would take Lenui if we could make it happen…
