While the annual NRL market frenzy is set to kick off in the coming weeks, we have taken a look internally to see who your club should lock down before they look externally.
10. North Queensland Cowboys
Te Maire Martin
Having been named twice as NYC five-eighth of the year and having contributed an obscene 74 try-assists across two seasons for the Wests Tigers in the NYC, the signs have always been there that Te Maire Martin was going to be a serious player.
After a disappointing year-long stint at Penrith, Martin obtained a release from his contract to move to the far North to become Jonathan Thurston's understudy.
Having been shifted between the halves, fullback and the bench, Martin has contributed with an impressive 11 tries and 10 try-assists across his time at the Cowboys.
Still only 23 and equally adept at fullback or in the halves, Martin provides the Cowboys with versatility and quality in both positions and would be a brilliant foil for the now organising Michael Morgan going forward.
Please don’t resign Kata
I agree. Go big for the Roosters centre Manu.
Te Marie Martin? Would most likely make a useful centre. He has pace & backs up. Still a useless 5/8th & sets up very little.
Sione Katoa? If the juniors there come up with a useful hooker? That player would have an easy run into first grade. Nothing so far from either hooker that they’ve been using.
The Roosters I hope re-sign Tetevano. Such a hard worker and all round top player. The rumour is getting louder and louder George Burgess wants a Roosters contract, but Pangai Junior is being linked with the Roosters also. We already have our own Pangai Junior in Taukeiaho, Tetevano is the bloke we need to retain regardless of who is linked or rumoured to be after a position at the Chooks. Sydney Roosters also need to make sure they retain development program rookie big prop Poasa Faamausili long term as they have with Lindsay Collins until 2022💪🐔👍
You’re not serious about GB going to the Roosters?
ffs nooooooooooooooooo.
