Nasheed here,
Now that the seasons pretty much done. Time to think of the future on a deep strategic level and remodel our side.
Like to see your strategy on who to keep, replace and what type of player to replace with.
to keep;
Adam Elliott - A lot of potential. 2020 player of the year for us
Aiden Tolman - workhorse, offer him a cheapie. Every team needs a Tolman
Dean Britt- is improving out of sight. Cheap. Bulldogs DNA legit
Jack Cogger- stable and useful
Joe Stimson - a big guy with footwork
Josh Jackson - no introduction needed.skip
Kerrod Holland- starting to warm to this guy. 2018 attacking player of the year. Fast. Utility value. Can play every position but prop. Well behaved. In for a big 2021
Kieran Foran- our best player. Just need a more sane contract
Lachlan Lewis - love this guy. Defends like a boss and kicks like a boss.
Nick Meaney - speed and legit
to discard;
Brandon Wakeham- small and like a deer in headlights. Cogger plays his role
Chris Smith - won't be the same after the injury
Christian Crichton - lol
Dallin Watene-Zelezniak - was a fan but I'm starting to see why panthers let him go. All bluster but inconsistent. Could free up a lot of money replacing him.
Isaiah Tass - lol fuck this guy
Jake Averillo - I don't see the fuss about him. Too small and slow
Marcelo Montoya - do I need to say?
Morgan Harper - small, Too similar to other players
Ofahiki Ogden - lazy
Raymond Faitala-Mariner - sideways runner
Reimis Smith- I like him, but he is lazy. I just don't think he's what we need. We need a more involved robust winger, he's a finisher only
Renouf To'omaga - dont question me
Sau Sue - our worst guy
Sione Katoa - scRaps
Will Hopoate - like mbye, ifffers a lot and nothing at the same time. Too expensive
unsure
Dylan Napa - big bopper but not always living up to expectation
JMK - can't make my mind up
players we need;
2 big units in the forward. At least one a star, the other can be a Shannon Boyd cheapie
Strike centre with size (Cotric? Bird?)
Respected half - throw some coin at a real strike half to compliment Lewis and Foran. Or cover for Foran. Townsend?
A hooker- big two year deal for cam smith. Model the rest on his game. 2.5 mil two year deal and a promise of a lower grade
Coaching gig in retirement.
fullback - a talented winger who wants a go at the back. Cotric?
Wing- someone tall. Can be a rookie
so a rough team composition is;
1. Cotric (600k)
2. Meaney (300k)
3. Bird (300k)
4. Holland (500k)
5. Younger newb/ the Souths winger (120k)
6. Foran (600k)
7. Townsend (700k)
8. Thompson (700k)
9. Cam smith (1.25)
10 Tolman (250k)
11. Britt (250k)
12. Stimson (300k)
13. Jackson (600k)
-
14. Boyd (300k)
15. Elliott (400k)
16. Napa (500k)
17. Lewis (400k)
That's a winner^ And more importantly, one that we can afford.
The other 13 can be Cogger, JMK and a bunch of newbs on min wage.
I'd consider Reimis Smith re signing if he promises to try harder on a heart to heart
