We’re paying decent money to Allen, JAC and Cotric already. The unfortunate thing is it isn’t super coach, you just can’t keep signing players and moving others to NSW cup.
You can have all the best backs in the world but if you have players like Napa going nowhere and Hetherington giving away penalties left right and centre it’s useless.
We need good forwards and quick + a number 9 before anything else.
Def agreeing with you but we need to get players who will make a difference...whenever they come up off contract.
Thats our huge dilemna we are in right now.
If forwards or a 9, who will make a difference, don't come up, we need to get whoever will, even if its a back...we might have to wait another year for say a JFH type...which is the kind of forward we need.
This rebuild is a 2 year thing to get competitive Top 8 but a 3 year thing for consistent Top 4.
And an on-going roster replenishment, improve thereafter, every season.
Forwards def our priority but more average ones is not going to do much for us.
Rock and a hard place for us atm with quality new signings.
Rudolph seems the only one who would make a huge difference at this stage of whats available. If we buy more it ties up money for following years when a lot of decent front rowers do come off contract.
Its a fine balance to get right for bottom feeders like we are atm as we def shouldnt pay overs for average forwards just bc they might be marginally better than the plodders we have.
