Our new signings...
Taffe from NSW Cup glory
Hutchinson at least he played at the Roosters and knows Turpin.
Faamausili from QLD Cup glory.
No recognised props.
Our middles being King, Currin, Patolo, Knight and Hughes.
Our halves Burton, Hutchinson and Sexton.
I think Gus needs to pre empt a low performing season by talking about our youngsters, re assuring everybody that CC is safe and promise to do better in the future. Not being but realistic.

On paper that’s a bottom 3 side. What also concerns me is our lack of size. Blokes like Sexton, Taafe, Mann, Turpin, Reed, Tanner, Morrin, Wilson fox, are kinda on the small side. We don’t have many power players.

Hutchinson can play 1-7 and back row which may be handy and I think Mann popped up after and he’s too good not to have.
I do think we are one utility too many but once you consider Salmon and Taafe too.
Hutchinson is shit

We have one of the weakest outside backs in the comp by far… top that with next to no forward pack to get us up field? Wtf is going on with retention and recruitment… better hope there’s better to come or tick us off for wooden spoon favs next season!

Currently have 30 contracted players for next year which includes RFM and Topine.
Looks like there'll still be some player movement over the off season.
You would hope so!

I know there must be a plan but you can’t have the following players in the same team ?

Burton
Sexton
Hutchinson
Mann
Salmon
Burton 6
Sexton and Hutchison fighting for 7
Mann lock + covers hooker
Salmon rests Kiks + covers centre/halves

They all can have different roles

I like these signings. They are not world beaters, but they are 100% footy players. They dont shirk the hard work like a few others.
Exactly, particularly Mann and Hutchison. Exactly the type of personalities we need.

His footy IQ is good. This is something we aren’t flush with. He is the slowest player to ever lace on a boot though.
at least if rushes out of the line in defence, he won't leave much of a gap

Easily the most ineffective and unintimidating prop rotation going round, our obvious Achilles heal but hopefully the plan is to target 2025 for quality middles becoming available.
They are going to watch Adam Sandler sport movies all summer. Watch out!

It is a depth signing for Mahoney only. Turpin will be playing NSW Cup. If Mahoney goes down, who can play hooker? Mann, Hutchinson and Topine.
It goes to show that some people haven't learned the lessons from this year's injury crises as well as not seeing penrith's system, which shows how important it is to have experienced depth.

There's Preston too

Don't agree with that idea though. Could be a banner idea.. Get ON it!
