1. Averillo??
2. JAC
3. Schoup, played well for a while his forms dropped needs to be coached and for him to develop his game can be a good centre
4. Skelton/new signing?, Burns is average and is a defensive liability
5. Kiraz/ Allan with Kiraz at centre or vise
6. Burton
7. Flanagan
8. TPJ
9. Mahoney
10. King
11. Kikau
12. Jackson
13. RFM

14. BBO/ ZDC
15. Topine
16. Need to sign a prop/pele unsure haven’t seen him play
17. Ryan Sutton

- Overall Averillo has been of last two games feel people are being to harsh however give him time.
- need to find a good vaughen replacement it’s a big loss
- Flannagan isn’t ideal but he’s been improving and we have no other option really

I can see Joash Papalii as our fullback of the future however if we don't wanna rush his development I hope we go after Drinkwater.

29. Edwards
30. Preston

to be honest we need a back up 9. cook ain’t it and unsure if ZDC is the answer. Topine can fill in as a 14 but id prefer an actual 9 in the 30
Said it a few times about a back up hooker, Berrell from Newtown Jets
or
Trevilyan from Raiders.
It's something we need incase Mahoney goes down, however it's not something we can capitalise on unless we fix our middle third rotation

Hopefully we can move a few on, okunbour ,Allen, maybe Thompson, I think Gould is noting what he can do with Thompson's money if his off the books ,potentially 3 players can be bought, chuck in Allen and a couple others and there's movement at the station

Next year, will be our last year of having deadwood.

Off-Contract 2023

Paul Alamoti, Corey Allan, Jake Averillo, Bailey Biondi-Odo, Braidon Burns, Joshua Cook, Kyle Flanagan, Josh Jackson, Jayden Okunbor, Chris Patolo, Ava Seumanufagai, Luke Thompson, Corey Waddell

Only Paul Alamoti and Bailey Biondi-Odo will be resigned from that list hopefully and the rest can fuck off. Sad to see Josh Jackson leave but he's past his time and will retire.
I'd keep Alamoti, Averillo, BBO, Patolo and let the rest go. With Jackson veteran allowance is interesting as you could probably retain him for minimum wage on the salary cap but you'd probably want to give his spot to Topine or someone like that anyways.

I’m keeping Alamoti, Averillo and JJ from that list (JJ brings value on concession pay)

Alamoti and BBO yes, but Franklin Pele for Chris Patolo anyday of the week and he will take the 17. If we need to win a premiership, Averillo won't be the answer to winning.

JJ will be 32 years old and he's already washed sorry to say. Fans want him moved on and surely he won't be extended he's on 600k.

Hopefully some on that list will look for releases at the end of this year in an effort to get a longer contract elsewhere.
