This was never going to be the year we balanced the roster. The cap increase and the flow on from the Dolphins recruiting a full roster plus reserves meant it's slim pickings. We could've crossed our fingers and hoped a rep level prop came up for grabs. But none have moved ahead of this season as far as I recall. Plenty have extended, AFB will move net season.
So we could've sat o our hands and waited or recruited the best players we could.
Already we've seen JAC, Tracey, Taaffe, Wilson missing from the backline. I've yet to feel like their replacements are big downgrades.
As for props, I'll cross my fingers that Suluka-Fifita becomes a wrecking ball for us when fit. But we're going well despite having no big boppers at present.
