We will make the Top 8 in 2022 if we can just get another prop and sign 1 of Hodgson, Starling or Kenny to play hooker. That backline is one of the fastest in the NRL.

01. Matt Dufty
02. Nick Cotric
03. Brent Naden
04. Aaron Schoupp
05. Josh Addo-Carr
06. Jake Averillo
07. Matt Burton
08. Ava Seumanufagai
09. Bailey Biondi-Odo
10. Luke Thompson
11. Jackson Topine
12. Raymond Faitala-Mariner
13. Josh Jackson

14. Jeremy Marshall-King/Lachlan Lewis
15. Adam Elliott
16. Ofahiki Ogden
17. Jack Hetherington

I’d have Atoni somewhere there and also Alamoti will be pushing. Leaves back up outside backs as Okunbor, Allan and Alamoti. Not bad.

we need now to make some big moves on B Smith. Kenny won’t cut it. Can’t see Raiders letting Starling go.

front rower is the problem. I don’t mind TPJ fornot silly money, but I think he is a 13 or back row.

Atoni is a free agent and I think he is leaving.

The hooker and prop we sign need to be quality.

We need to move on Flanagan so there's a spot in reserve grade for BBO to develop.

Other players we need to look at moving on: Allan, Stimson and Waddell. I think Lewis is better than Wakeham and I don't see a way we can keep him without moving Wakeham on too (BBO needs a spot for next year, e.g. Flanagan's spot), but I doubt that'll happen.

I'd also like another second rower (e.g. Tapine, otherwise someone else that's quality), but I'm not sure how our salary caps looking.

Fuck knows whats happening with Brandon Smith... But I want us to sign Hudson Young and a elite prop... We need an enforcer who isn't lazy, I don't know who we can snare, but we need something. You could get TPJ and play him up front, but he will have errors and defensive lapses in him.

I'm sure he'll be there over Atoni. It looks like Barrett is leaning that way with Ava > Atoni (I think Atoni's already out of the door, I'm just waiting for it to be official). I just disagree personally.

If we could somehow sign TPJ, Hodgson, Tapine and then Benji on a cheap deal, that would have all positions covered.
