The problem with “all” the players tossed up to move on is that if all these suggestions went we lose

Thompson
TPJ
Vaughan
Jackson

Then the thought process is to chase a spine. I agree we need to strengthen the spine, my only concern is we can’t lose ALL those forwards otherwise we have no go forward.

I’d only be looking to move a Thompson on given his wage. I’d keep the rest, even Jackson now until he retires as a bench middle.

For mine, 2023 should look something like this hopefully

1. Toia (hope he works)
2. JAC
3. Shoupp
4. Kiraz
5. Alamoti (blood him there)
6. Burton
7. ???
8. Vaughan
9. Mahoney
10. ???
11. Kikau
12. ???
13. TPJ

14. Either Averillo / BBO / ZDC
15. ??? See who puts their hands up.
16. Jackson
17. King

Gone - Thompson, JMK, Dufty, Allen, Waddell, Stimson, Hetherington (off rumours), Doorey, RFM (too many injuries)

Spared - Burns (dont rate him but depth) and Ava

Blood gradually 2022 - Casey, Topine, Toia, Cook, Stuckey, Hoffman, Morrin

Chase a marquee 7, a solid edge but dont spend marquee and another prop worth around 400k.

If Flanagan turns it around this year the. Maybe chase a marquee fullback instead. Doubt it though.

If we want a quality fb, definitely gotta recieve the outcome of who doesn’t get the fb spot for the cowboys. Hammer or preferably drinkwater would be a luxury. I can see it happening. Hammer has a relationship with BBO, pretty sure they are best mates.
Can you really see it happening? Tell us more

Throw whatever $$ we have remaining or do some reshuffling and move players on and get Mitchell Moses over to Belmore. He is available for 2024 and is the only big name 7 available.
Moses has played in a strong roster at Parra for years and never even taken them to a GF. He's a fair weather player and often goes missing under pressure and in big games.

What do you guys reckon about Dufty? I can see he has flaws but he also has so much potential we haven’t seen yet. I would keep him and see how he goes. What are your thoughts?
He is trash... shouldn't even be playing this week
