2022 We will have 17 players contracted and 16 are not, I believe most will go unless the price is right to be reserves.
To be a force we need 4 quality players, can be made cap possible if we lose DWZ & Stimson
My wish list, 2 whom are still contracted...what is yours ?
1 Averillo
2 JAC / DWZ
3 Allen
4 Staggs
5 Cotric
6 Burton
7 Flanagan
8 Hass
9 Smith or Clark
10 FisherHarris
11 Doorey
12 Jackson
13 Thompson

14 Elliott
15 Hetherington
16 RFM / Topine
17 Waddle / Stimson
18 Wakeham

We've already spent 1m for 22 (I'm alluding to we can't spend as much as you've suggested we can).

I think 5-7 out of the 14 will be retained. I think it's very likely at least a few players will be retained (most likely at a discounted price).

There are players we obviously need to promote.

I just want a quality hooker, e.g. Brandon Smith and a quality prop, e.g. Toby Rudolf (I'd love Leota but he contracted for another year).

I think at full strength and with those 2 additions we'll be able to compete. Our depth is always going to be an issue but that's what the salary cap does to bottom teams.

Spine
1. Allan
6. Burton
7. Flanagan
9. Smith

Backs
2. JAC
3. Cotric
4. Schoupp
5. DWZ

Forwards
8. Thompson
10. Rudolf
11. Elliott
12. Doorey
13. Jackson

Bench
14. Topine
15. RFM
16. Hetherington
17. Atoni

I think someone like Naden would be a good player to target to strengthen the backs, he'll come cheap too. I'd probably have Averillo playing fullback in reserve grade because that's the only way I see him being a part of our team in the future.

Didn't JFH just re-sign with Penrith. They mentioned it on the Fox commentary last night
Staggs is apparently staying with the Bronos
Why do you have JAC/DWZ - is that a choice?
Dont like Allen as a centre - rather Alomoti if he's ready. TBH don't like Allen in the team anywhere.
Fuck yes to Clark and Hass
Bench still looks weak.
That squad still looks weaker than the Roosters and Souths. FMD we have a long way to go

JFH would cost close to 1m, Panthers would be offering him 700-800k to stay. Leota is the Panthers prop you'd target.

We did the right thing by going after Leniu. I think we need 1 experienced prop (if Thompson doesn't fire) and then we need to target the junior guns (players like Leniu).

Leniu would of been perfect. A lot of players like Leniu have already been locked up. There were 3-4 we could of signed and we've ended up with none of them. I'm struggling to see anyone else.

Realistic wish list for 2022 not 2023

1. Meaney
2. *Ferguson (swap with Parra for DWZ, good mates with JAC and is another character that the team needs)
3. Cotric (holds centre until Alomati is ready in 1-2 years, by that time Fergo retires and Cotric shifts to wing)
4. Schoupp
5. Addo-Carr
6. Burton
7. Flanagan
8. *Guler (basically any good front rower stuck in reserve grade)
9. *Clarke (need a hooker badly, can't wait for 2023)
10. Thompson
11. *Capewell (surely Panthers can't keep him and Martin, seeing Martin was only just extended we should strike)
12. Elliot
13. Jackson (reluctantly)

14. Topine
15. Hetherington
16. Doorey
17. Atoni

18. Averillo

* Really pissed we missed Leniu and Piakura which has gone very quiet.

Agree Allan is puss. Could carry him at 14 buts that's about it. Reserve grader imo.

Hooker: Clarke (550k) or Kenny (350k)
Props: Rudolph, Vaughan, R.Sutton (500k), Guler, Blacker, F. Pele, Finucane (300k)
Second Rowers: Capewell (500k) or Matterson (600k)
Lock: Peachey (450k)

If we get one of those hookers, one of the 500k props, one or two of the 300k props, one of Capewell or Matterson and make a run at Peachey if there is money left, we will be in great shape next season and beyond.

Hopefully we have a really good sales pitch, the more games we play like yesterday the less appealing we look and the more we have to pay.
