I would only have about 8 of those 17 named in the OP. The rest are not quick enough for today's game

I'd probably start with a game plan specifically designed for whichever team we play against.
I'd be one up on our current coach already

A mixture of tough love then re-introducing some fun back into the game for our guys and club. Every pre-season there would be a military based boot camp and my boys would be fit and willing to kill for eachother. I would mix "dogs of war" with the "entertainers" and have us the envy of the sporting world!

Now...what would I do ? what would I do ?
Yesssssssss
First I celebrate Des is gone !
Then I'll get rid of all the deadwood starting with Eastwood.
I will clear enough salary cap space for Cronk at a reasonable price ?
I structure my game plan based on the natural ability of my players as well as allowing them to use their natural instinct !
I would start with this team:
1 MBYE free him from the halves responsibility
2 B MORRIS
3 HOPOATE
4 J MORRIS to become a second rower beyond 2018
5 MONTOYA
6 FORAN
7 CRONK Only at a reasonable price.
8 TOLMAN..........14 GRAHAM/D. TAYLOR I would take a gamble
9 WOOLFORD.....15 FRAWLEY
10 KLEMMER
11 JACKSON
12 ELLIOT...........16 TO'OMAGA
13 WOODS..........17FUALALO/TUALAU
ARE WE STILL ALLOWED TO DREAM ?

Would anyone take back Shaun lane... gives a tall rangey Second rower..... not sure why we go rid of him. Maybe he wasn't fat enough
Because he must have been shit. Couldn't even get on the Warriors team and now can't make the Manly team.

I personally would do this for next year.
1.brad abbey young he's getting bigger and stronger
2.brett Morris
3.josh Morris
4.hoppa/brenko/Phillips/Stanley who ever is in form
5.montoya
6.mbye make him run instead of kick and pass only when needed to
7.foran
8.Aiden Tolman say what you want he's a great tackler and goes all day
9.Michael Lichaa seriously needs a kick up the ass other wise brown
10.aaron woods
11.Josh Jackson both Adam and josh are really good
12.Adam Elliott
13.David Klemmer with Aaron there these best mates will hype each other up
14.danny really good off the bench
15.james graham needs a rest will be a good impact player
16.renouf tomaga they signed him for 3 years so he should start soon this year and if he goes well plays next year
17.and now last this is gonna sound crazy but I would for 1-2 years sign willie mason I know he's old but he can still play and he would be a very good motivator for our team and show by example the old school bulldogs grunt it will be very useful for klemmer woods Elliot maybe graham and the younger guys and then have him as a coachig role for the forwards and maybe trainer if he is intrested

I really think this team could do something even with Hasler there they can cause serious damage
I'd tell the players - you know what Des told you ?. I want you to do the exact opposite.

Apparently Des has a career mode with Real Madrid and plays 5ATB with Ronaldo and Bale as wingbacks!

Line speed in defence would be the first thing, we always seem to wait, second thing reduce the settle play to only allowed one per set, thirdly stop these silly sideways shifts with an attack so flat, get deeper, run straight, run hard and make there defence make a decision, fourthly our fifth tackle options are useless, kick to montoyas wing for his height, failing that get it low and running towards in goal with set chaser on Morris boys side. Thats where id start.

We need a complete change of player roster

We have either old players who are on the downhill slide or younger players who are shit
