I agree we need to move expensive players on to improve our spine. I just don't see options for a decent 7 or 9 before 2023. Mitchell Pearce would be a waste of space in his current form and frequently injured.
I also think whoever plays 7 has to be a better than average goal kicker. If we play Wakeham at 7, then apart from Schoupp who kicked a few times in nsw cup, then we are lacking in that area. Not sure if Burton can kick goals.
We have to get ready now for when the opportunity presents it self, but if there are no changes in the halves I believe this is the order in which they will be selected, 1. Wakeham 2. BBO 3. Averillo 4. Flanagan.
But in reality this all could change for one or another !

Let him go and let’s get a descent hooker or half… centre’s/ wingers are a dime a dozen

I also believe Wakeham is the best half we have of a really poor lot.

I think Averillo or Flanagan in that order will be first choice half unless we can magically find a decent goal kicker somewhere else in the squad. At the moment no one else sticks out as being able to turn 4 into 6 on a regular basis.

Time for Halligan to train a new super kicker I guess :grinning:

Avo and Odo both add value to squad as possible utility bench role. Whoever gets selected to partner Burton better appreciate first crack, and really rip in. I don’t have a preference out of the four, assuming whoever trains the best gets the nod.

It's not about offloading Corey Allen, it's about "is there another NRL team who is even remotely interested in him" LOL
Corey Allen took over from latrell Mitchell when he did his acl at south’s and was consistently one of their best in a very good south’s side,cotric likewise at the raiders,how can we all be judge and jury,without giving them the opportunity in a good side ?

i think Odo is better suited to hooker, defensively good one on one, great pass and can run from dummy half.

Mate is that your opinion or is that what you're hearing? Wasn't Wakeham told he could look elsewhere? I can't imagine he'd be 1st option. He would have to be 3rd option at best. Surely it's a shotoout between Avo and BBO

Thing have changed since Gus arrived
There are reasons why I have the halves in this order
Preseason form will decide who will be the 7

Wakeham was never told to look elsewhere. All bullshit and a stab in the dark.
