A Pearce and Grey showed enough to suggest that they can fill a tall and a run with role in defence, our back half is not under as much pressure as it seems. We are still the most miserly defence in the comp, even with 3 or 4 of our top backs missing big chunks of the season. We are going down the right track chasing McCarthy and Harley, as they are 2 players we can probably get at a realistic price.
As for players not wanting to come here LS, I have said before, we don't get very many players asking to be traded, and those that do usually cite missing mums cooking, girlfriend or homesickness as the reason, so maybe a few more of our trade targets need to be separated from their management before we talk turkey to them.
