So the rumors have 3 half back types in the mix to come to us in Florent, Duggan and Noble. I have some doubts that it's a position of genuine need for us.
Yes we need a genuine small forward.Quote:

If Smith or English leave we will have something to play with (and Lobb to a lesser extent).Quote:

GIANTS FREE AGENT WATCH
GREATER Western Sydney free agent Isaac Cumming is expected to generate interest from rivals this year despite his injury-hit absence in the first half of the season.
Cumming is an unrestricted free agent for the Giants, meaning he could depart without the Giants having the option to match a bid for him, and is not rushing into a contract decision as he recovers from soft-tissue setbacks to start his 2024 campaign.
The 25-year-old had an ongoing quad problem that was due to set back his start of the season before then suffering a calf injury during his recovery recently, likely ruling him out for the first two months of the year.
But clubs are still set to monitor Cumming as a potential free agent recruit given the Giants' wealth of attacking half-backs seeing him likely play on a wing when he returns from injury.
The Giants Academy product, who was a top-20 pick in the 2016 draft, played 65 of a possible 72 games in the past three seasons. ? Callum Twomey

I really like Cumming (pause). He’s a beautiful user and has enough size to be a competent defender across a range of players.
Noble was fantastic tonight.
Noble can play as more of a Duryea type lockdown as well. Not sure if that is a strength of Duggan or Florent?
Not sure why he was left out of the GF side. he played some good footy last yearQuote:

Fell behind Markov late who was seen as more dynamic. Noble is a good player that has just been caught out on team balance. Occasionally slow to get rid of the ball.Quote:
