Here’s a source for Doorey being in the squad.

Wouldn't be surprised to see some of these players released with a few youngsters getting promoted. Two more big signings should hopefully round out the squad for next season.

Anyone off contract at the end of 2020 could a chance of getting released. Holland and Sue could be prime candidates to head over to England. I'd also be happy to get rid of Crichton.

Sbw and bird will be the final spots in the 30

SBW will be at the dogs in 2021 with Payne Haas. Mark my words, You heard it here first.

Do you have inside info because both of those signings seem unlikely?

By my ruff count from Spoonies list:

Middle forwards: 10 - Britt, Elliot, RFM, Napa, Ogden, Roumanos, CSmith, Sue, Renouf, Tolman
Edge forwards: 4 - CHN, Jackson, Stimson, Doorey
9s: 2 - JMK, Api
Halves: 4 - Cogger, Foran, Lewis, Wakeham
Centres: 4 - Harper, Holland, Hoppa, Monty
Winger: 3 - Crichton, Okunbor, RSmith
Fullback: 2 - Meaney, DWZ

Obviously there is some cross over, Meaney to wing, Jackson to the middle, that sort of thing, but this exercise is about seeing where the squad might be lacking across the park.

Clear issue with Centre stocks, especially given Hoppa is option 3 for F'back...

Edit: added Harper

Add Harper into the centres mate I missed him in the first post.

I just can’t have Lewis in the team at 7
I know his defence is outstanding, but if your playing a 7 for his defence just run a 2nd rower there
Can’t pass, and all his kicks a Hail Mary bombs

Well you saw our team the past 2 seasons without Lewis and we have a shocking record.

Lewis is fucking shit house, next week should be his last game in the halves and probably his last game starting.

 

[Freakzilla]

Lewis is fucking shit house, next week should be his last game in the halves and probably his last game starting.

Defense is half the game and he's the best defensive 7 in the game. We win way more with him in the starting lineup than without him. Maybe we can start Cogger instead of JMK or Holland and in attack he swaps with Lewis?

He is fucking shit. I don't care how well he defends, his ability in attack is absolutely dreadful. Offers nothing and is a complete hindrance to the side. CHN is out biggest strike weapon and he's completely wasted playing alongside him.

Cogger or Wakeham have to play there next season, simple as that. We need more creativity from the spine and Lewis is never going to offer it. I also don't buy the "we win more with Lewis" excuse. There's so many other things at play to consider than just Lewis playing.

The sooner he's gone the better, stupidly overhyped.

Give yourself an uppercut. Lewis is coming along nicely as a half. Hes a big body and over the last couple of weeks its obvious hes been told to run more, he has a great long kick. Can pass both directions and his defence is impeccable. He should be one of the first players chosen next year. Go Lachie you good thing.

Hahahaha what an absolute load of fucking shit, I don't even know where to start. This is absolutely crazy, peak zero IQ fan right here.
