I think a lot of clubs are ready to pounce on every other team once some "Marquee" signings are made by whoever. Don't think any team wants to cut themselves short for 2021.
I think we will keep a few younger guys and some established first graders like Jackson, Hoppa possibly DWZ (all on contracts for what they are worth) depending on if we actually snag anyone at fullback. Will possibly let the rest ride until Nov 1 2020?

We'll be kissing a lot of those players goodbye. I dare say that negotiations are well and truly underway for our priority signings, probably just letting the players enjoy some of the off seasons before training for 2020 resumes.

Mate, half of those guys mentioned above don't belong anywhere near first grade. Only our club rewards bog average players with first grade games.

Agree, I think depending on signings, 2 out of Lewis, Cogger and Wakeham will be signed up. To"Omaga and Smith aswell.
If that’s the halves equation then personally I’m taking Cogger and Lewis every day of the week over Wakeham

Hopefully the club will be in a better situation in the coming years and have less "Bog Average" players in the squad to choose from.

2020 will be a big season for these 3 I reckon. I haven't seen enough of Wakeham to make judgement, he looked good in the chances he got though.

Lewis > Cogger > Wakeham

Resign Cogger for one to two years while Wakeham is developing/getting ready. Lewis is priority tho.

I'd be keeping Foran too for the right price.

Holland, Montoya and Sue only ones I'd 100% get rid. More will go tho.

Holland Kalache and Montoya should start looking. I think the others are safe.

The only players one there that need to be re-signed ASAP is JJ, Reimis, DWZ and Wakeham. A few others still need to prove themselves next season.

I think Hopoate deserves to be on that list too. In the Centres he has always been solid for us (some of the best hands in the NRL for a Centre) and we're already trying to fix the other Centre position with our recruitment. He also got our player of the year. Also has leadership qualities. A contract somewhere between 400-500k.

The whole situation with Jacko is rather strange how they delayed negotiations till after the season and there’s still nothing. The longer it drags on the more chance he could be going but in saying that not a lot changes once the calendar changes to November 1 so I guess we just wait and see.
