Good Squad. Only changes for me no to Scott to many mental demons. Burton if we get him. Otherwise Foran and Averillo. Other wise swap and change in form. As Napa worries me

I would leave Averillo in the centres to save the coin and buy a top tier hooker and katoa to bench. Grab Asiata instead of Hetherington.

What about Lafai ? Does he get a guernsey and mcinnes . If we just snag a couple more we got a squad . I even think this weekends squad is looking stronger

Can we get mcinnes? And there seems to be negativity about Scott so averillo in the centre’s makes sense . With the pickups mentioned j think we are still well within the cap.

I also think with a few better players like you’ve named and we’ve alredg signed our existing roster will perform much better as well

Our roster is going to be a lot better than it was in the previous two seasons. That's the only light at the end of the tunnel, hopefully it's good enough for top eight and we can build on each and every season until 2024. If and only if we can get almost everything right we can contend for a title and be a top four team (in 2024). That's the goal or how I see it at least.

This should be our team at the minimum. If we can't get a new decent hooker then our recruitment team gets a MASSIVE FAIL in my opinion. Burton is under contract until end of 2021. Would like the Panthers to release him early but we can't count on it unfortunately. So we need to re-sign Foran for at least 1 more year. I really don't believe there is enough room to re-sign Foran, a new hooker and Elliott so Elliott we'll need to sacrifice. We need Foran more. I hate to think how hard it would be to find the tryline next year with 2 of Lewis/Wakeham/Cogger as our halves.

1 Nick Meaney - showed against the Eels he has a passing game. Wish he had a side step but he's a better long term option than Hopa who's too slow
2 DWZ - can he try running into gaps instead of directly at defenders ?
3 Nick Cotric
4 Will Hopoate
5 Reimis Smith - hopefully his little holiday will lite a fire in his belly
6 Kieran Foran
7 Lachlan Lewis - yes not perfect but slightly ahead of Wakeham / Cogger who don't really offer any more in attack and definitely offer less in defence.
8 Ofahiki Ogden - really liked his game in attack and defense against the Eels. Hope he can keep it up
9 Daryl Clarke hopefully OR Tom Starling at minimum
10 Dylan Napa - we need a big body to tackle opposing big forwards. We saw on the weekend our forwards had trouble handling big Paulo
11 Renouf Toomaga - he trained in the off season to play edge and he is a bit of a ball player
12 RFM - I agree he's more a middle but we don't have much choice unless Stimson improves
13 Luke Thompson

14 Suaso Sue
15 Josh Jackson
16 Joe Stimson
17 ?

From November this year we need to sign for 2022

Matt Burton
Addin Fonua-Blake - direct replacement for Napa
Dylan Walker or Oliver Gildart - direct replacement for Hopa who's too slow to make a line break
Sitili Tupouniua (Roosters reserve forward) - drop RFM back to the bench
