No thanks.
We already have to figure out what to do with Jake.
Burton and addo carr coming means.
1. Dwz
2. Jac
3. Allan
4.
5. Cotric
6. Burton
7. Flanagan
Are locked for sure.
Allan might force his way back to fullback, which could see Dwz move or who knows if something happens there throughout the season.
I hope we sign naden to replace hoppa for the other centre spot if we aren’t going all out at staggs.
The immediate focus is surely hooker and that’s b Smith and then some fucking good forwards.
Mann isn’t a bad player but isn’t something we need to even think about.
Rather Jake as 14.
Think our 3 most potentially possible, realistically financially and important signings would be b Smith, Pangai, naden.
1. Dwz
2. Jac
3. Allan
4. Naden
5. Cotric
6. Burton
7. Flanagan
8. Thompson
9. B Smith
10. Pangai
11. Elliott
12. Rfm (if he has to be traded with storm so be it then promote atoni or doorey)
13. Jackson (last legs)
14. Jake
15. Topine
16. Hetho
17. Atoni/doorey
It’s giving us a strike centre as naden can be that. With Jac and burton we will improve our backline and attack so much.
B Smith would help there too and just mentally, winning culture and fix our weakest spot. Also would help huge in the pack and d.
Pangai gives us that size we don’t have. That genuine tackle breaking beast. Yes he’s a bit ficked with history but he’s got the ability and worth the risk and reality is I’d say broncos would let him go. With their pack and paying kids that haven’t played like Piakura 400k means they must be rebuilding that pack. No ***** taking lodge at his $.
Haas won’t be moving unless it’s his doing.
Realistic and seriously makes us a complete squad.
From there Dwz is off books, jacko would be about to retire then too. We would be free to move around for what we need or upgrades if it’s working. That young centre beast should be ready then and we could easily build around the squad there with the odd astute signing replacing what’s needed.
