Its really a bloody tough one.
One thing i do know is that we have to be patient one more year. I know its difficult as we havent had a spine in a few years now.
imo the only player in our spine who is "good" is Lewis
There is crap available now to fill in spine positions. We need to target players as they are coming off or are off contract, and as the board said - no more overs
Morris brothers are a massive loss and at this moment only Oates is available to soften the blow in one position.
Even if we do have money available, we shouldnt just throw it around, just for the sakes of it.
Foran is washed up, and i cant stand him, but there is nothing we can do.
Next year we have Cogger & Meaney who are coming in and who the fuck knows how they will go.
I will bite my tongue next year with Foran & Lichaa as we are "stuck" with them, though, in the background we should look at extending Klemmer & Jackson asap before they come off contract in 2020 just to keep the vultures away. It becomes an easier battle to sign new players than trying to sign new players as well as re-sign your stars all at the same time.
Also Remis Smith is off contract next year and we should extend his contract before the start of the 2019 season. The kid is going to be a really good centre/winger. Same goes for Ogden
Next year i think the comp will be pretty much the same as this year, because there are not many major player movements, except with the rorters
JT & Slater retiring
Rorters lose Ferguson but gain Crighton, Hall & Morris - only the rorters can pull this fucken shit off
