No surprises on either those really.
Ross was a waste, U'u will get plenty more minutes elsewhere.

U'u to United makes sense, so many U's it hurts

I'm suprised U'u would opt out of a deal.

You'd only want U'u on a low deal as your 8/9/10 player and I'm not sure what his points rating is although you want to sign players in those spots on a similar deal to his Wildcats deal with the rolling options so player points are kept low.

Players I'd want before U'u at the right price;

J Cadee
S Bruce
R Carter
M Norton
S Markovic
K Adnam
B Teys
J Naburgs
B Hill
T Daly
R Martin
L Walker
A Fisher

Sad to see both go. Does this speak of chemistry problems with the coach last year? I definitely got the impression Ross wasn't happy with his role. It's a pity the Cats didn't persevere with him because I think he will turn out to be a useful player and at a 3 point cap hit it is worth the risk.

Ross was a difficult player to find a role for. Very strong, almost a forward in his attributes and the way he plays, but relatively short. He'd make a great SBL player, or maybe even NZ-NBL.

Unfortunately his points have been bumped to 5, but maybe he can appeal that.

U'U failed to develop according to expectations.

Did Drake U'u overestimate his value?

Teams left with space are Townsville and _____
