What's our hit list?

Do we have to sign a marquee player

Do we have break players contract to get who we want.

The last team to have a open chequebook was South's when they re entered the comp after Super League

We need to look at a team like the Storm. They have always had a great spine and built around that. We need to do the same.

At least one marquee half who can control a game, a dynamic hooker and a fullback who can make an impact. The problem will be finding these players who are mostly all locked up where they are.

Buy another 8 or so Kerian Forans with that coin!

This is the million dollar question, I mean 8.5m question, Anderson’s allowed us to bleed out with vision of being born again, however how can you grab 8.5m worth of talent in one go??? I’d argue the sort of talent we needs takes a few years to assemble, therefore expect us to be a basket case for a lot lot longer.

Sure we had a cap issue but we cut the wrong players at the wrong time I reckon. I want to believe the club have a plan but I see no evidence of it. A few posters give some cryptic messages that a lot will happen over next 6 months but just can’t see it.

The Board and Senior Management Group have not rebuilt a club before, they are chasing unicorns

In need of a lock:

Chase Jai Arrow Hard

In need of a fullback

Chase Tommy Turbo, Tedesco or Latrell Mitchel

In need of a half (possibly)

Chase Wighton, Keary or Milford

In need of a hooker

Api

Prop

Vaughan or Sims

Centre
Gagai, Roberts

Plenty more out there, all off contract in 2021

You can only cut players other teams want. That’s how it works.
Imagine if we announced tolman, Holland and montoya were free to look elsewhere ?
Crickets anyone ?

Don’t forget we will re-sign a few players too so that will knock down the $8.5million a bit as well. I’m in no way saying we should re-sign the majority of the players off contract but there will be some that stay.

8.5million in cap space is almost 25 players. We don't have 10 1st graders worth re signing and you can't just go buy 20 players . Upgrading a few juniors but still can't see how they can just go and buy players for 2021. 2020 to 2022 over 3yrs adding talent is different but for 2021 is SuperCoach bullshit.

We will hopefully buy some players this off season that will knock that number down a little bit.

Hooker, half and outside backs with skill and experience.
We sorely need both.

Hopefully it's managed very well and Anderson and Pay have others looking over their shoulder.
