Is Topine a gun? I think he's 18 now. All I know about him is he's a second rower and made the Australian schoolboys team and was captain for NSW (I think). What other players do you think are promising?
Averello and topine! Seen enough of averello also we signed that North Queensland halfback recently I think? Anyone know his name he’s a junior from up north

This club needs experience, there are no guns or superstar on the market..
I would sign Reynold, maloney and jake friend.
With hoppa at 1 there is our spine for 2 years. Then the kids we have coming through can learn and develop.. i would go for Craig fitzgibbon as coach. If we can't get the best teacher than get the best student.
You could still get some quality players who are off contract 2021 in the right positions. Get a good mix of promising youth and experience.
Nick Cotric - buy him as a centre
Fanitesi Niu - one of the best junior fullbacks coming out of QLD
Brayden Trindall - Promising young half
Ryan James - Injuries a concern but good pack leader.
Luke Metcalf - Upcoming fullback / half
Christian Welch - Would complement our pack.
Connor Watson - will make a solid 9.
James Tamou - A couple of good years left
Tristan Sailor - gun junior
Jake Friend - Winner, leader
Jamil Hopoate - looked good in first rounds

Sign Friend, Welch, Cotric, Niu, Hopoate and Sailor

Undoubtedly one of the best halves this last decade who knows how to win.

He's that Kimmorley in 2009 signing we need.
Except Maloney is cooked and semi retired already. Maloney can't do what Noddy did for us imo.

Mate I look at all these names and I don't get excited.
Rather develop our youth than this lot.
I mean everyone gets excited about cotric but what has he really done
You need players who will dominate the opposition.
Kotoni staggs dominates, so too does fifita, these types of players.
Otherwise hold onto the cash

Lol wut? Hoppa is a high workrate player and in that game went above and beyond with 20 something carries...I don't see what you point is.

Cotric night not be established in the centre position but I have absolutely no doubt he is suited to that role. One of the most explosive backs in the game and far more explosive than what we have...miles better than what we have or will develop anytime soon.

No, because he's the right player and we rarely ever sign the right player. Club will persist with Smith at centre like idiots.

Close to who I'd sign.

For me it's Milford (either fullback or five-eighth, dependent if we're adamant keeping DWZ fullback and/or keeping Foran). Fullback would be ideal which would allow us to push DWZ to the wing. Milford also provides much needed x-factor for our team.
Cotric. I''m really doubtful regarding getting him. After Cotric I'd be looking at JAC which unfortunately means we'd have to stick with Reimis at centre.
Friend. One of the only available options at hooker. Agree with what you said. He's still one of the best hookers in the game just is injury prone and can't play a full 80 anymore (JMK is a good bench utility). I think he's almost a must buy (we can't continue with JMK and Katoa).
Jamil Hopoate. I think we need a replacement for CHN, we're already tried RFM there and we need someone who's more dynamic than Jackson. Jamil is also one of the few that fit that build available.

Jamil Hopoate
Nick cotric (play centre)
Brandon smith
Francis molo
My main targets.
Ease averillo into 6 throughout the season to form a combination with wakeham and they can be our long term halves..
If so our 2021 squad would go.
1. Dwz/ Meaney
2. Meaney/ Dwz
3. Cotric
4. Hoppa
5. Smith
6. Averillo
7. Wakeham
8. Napa
9. Brandon smith
10. Thompson
11. J Hopoate
12. Jackson
13. Elliot
14. To omaga
15. Ogden
16. Molo
17. Another forward Rfm if still here or a utility, ( smith can play 80 imo).
Long shot but can only dream.

Cotric is a centre my dude. Was made a winger in first grade. Right centre was his position, played abit of fullback aswell but isn't the best there imo.

I unfortunately don’t get to see the juniors play to much usually just rely on kennellers to tell me, but I wanna come down to a game this year and meet everyone. My mrs is a big dogs fan since she’s been with me I converted her from storm to doggies the brainwashing was easy
