If your name wasn’t called, thanks, but you can collect your final pay and fk off….
Seriously, for mine, apart from the obvious coaching issues, here’s the main issues. Keeping in mind we need a squad so can’t just fk everyone off…
- we need to decide are we keeping a Dufty or Flanagan. With Mahoney and Burton next year, we need one more GUN spine player. Can’t afford 2. I’d be inclined to keep Flanagan. Can kick, defend, and all he need to do is control the field.
- Jackson needs to become a 17 member as a middle rotation, not a ball player. Him receiving the ball on crucial plays is the coaches fault. He has experience, he’s a true club guy, tough as nails in defence and can run hard if that’s his only mission in attack.
- I’d keep Thompson but for 250k less. He needs to be played as a 13 or back row. More minutes too.
- I’d punt Vaughan and chase someone like a Royce Hunt. TPJ in the middle next year too.
- maybe Kiraz could be the centre we’ve been looking for? Between him, Schoupp and Alamoti they are young enough and appear to have talent. Save some money developing them.
- Averillo, he’s a 14 and that’s it. Teach him how to pass from the deck, the. As a 14, he now covers 1, 3,4,6,7 and 9. Perfect.
- Wakeham, Waddell, JMK, Stimson, Burns, Allan, all gotta go
- I’d be keeping for squad Ava, Doorey, Topine, King, have a look at Stuckey, have a look at Hoffman, have a look at the young kid who plays prop they got from Tigers
- based in above, I’d hit the market for a FB (GUN), another middle (maybe Hunt), maybe another centre but not as essential.
