According to news on SEN Farren Ray, despite being a wanted player, has asked to be trades home, possibly to Perth.
There is a whole thread on it.

We need a player like Kosi especially with Street moving on and minimising the depth of our rucks.
The way I see it we only have a few players and maybe one draft pick that we can shop around as a deal for a high profile player.
Our bargaining chips are F.Ray, M.Boyd (Yes Boyd) and our second round draft pick. Is there anyone else that might reasonably attract interest ?
Would a combination of the players and the draft pick be enough to land someone like Kosi ? The Saints want more midfield options so I think they could be tempted but having said that they aren't flash at the ruck themselves and losing Kosi would hurt them.
Is there really a key forward or defender that we have a realistic chance of getting ?
If we need ruck depth, and a good tall target. Kosi fits the bill.
There's something not right about him though, not to mention the price on his head.
If we had to give say Ray or Bod plus our second rounder, our first natural pick is 46. With GC17 drafts coming up, we wont be getting too many quality kids. We must factor this in.
