REALISTIC TEAM 2021
We won't be making many signings so this imo is the best we will have if we can somehow snare a player or two.
1. Averillo
2. DWZ
3. Hopoate
4. Schoupp (kid looked good, Alomati to wait a little longer)
5. Smith
6. Foran (as much as it could bite us in the ass... we need him)
7. Wakeham
8. Tolman (if pay isn't sacked he will be extended)
9. Katoa (we won't sign anyone here, had multiple chances to get a hooker and failed everytime)
10. Thompson
11. Bateman * (probs won't get him lol)
12. Elliot (our backrowers currently can't run good lines to save their life... This bloke is our most skillful forward and we need him running off Forans hip... Fuck I miss CHN)
13. Jackson (if Bateman is coming then makes even more sense to move him away from the edge where he's been underwhelming for a while now)
14. JMK (sadly)
15. To'Omaga (beast, would be willing to see him start with Thompson if he can have a huge off season next time around)
16. Napa (dude is a cat, bench prop nothing more)
17. Topine (fuck Mariner this kid needs experience, get him in)
NON REALISTIC
1. Averillo (Pay doesn't have the nous or stones to put him here, hopefully the next coach whoever it may be does)
2. S.Katoa (excellent finisher and speed to burn ... I'm over DWZ, he runs hard but he's so error prone to many cons to his game imo)
3. Cotric (kids a beast, anyone who thinks he's not an out and out centre don't talk to me)
4. Hopoate (left edge is the easiest edge to attack, we need his hands out there)
5. Addo-Carr (our team lacks character, need something to spice things up abit. Same things as DWZ just over them both tbh)
6. Foran (we need to extent him for 1 season with an option for a second. Luai and Burton are off contract 2021, we need to sign whoever Penrith demote)
7. Wakeham (no brainer this one)
8. Flegler (Broncos are demoting him, get him down here, if that fails gun for Welch)
9. B.Smith (our middle third as of today is full of slow weak pussies, bar Elliot and To'Omaga... We need this mental wombat in our side to set the standard)
10. Thompson (he will justify his place easily)
11. Bateman (we are weak and have to many loser mentality / scarred players... This man is a winner and a scrapper, must sign at all costs)
12. Elliot (he's been good with the new rules in the middle third... However I have long been a supporter of getting Jackson off the edge)
13. Jackson (time for reduced minutes in the middle third for our captain, he can be our tackling man in the middle doing the dirty work now Tolman is gone)
14. (Open to any utility bar JMK or Katoa at this point)
15. To'Omaga (beast, could start if has a massive off season, but I just love his impact off the bench)
16. Leniu (big bopper from the Panthers who Mark O'Meley rated highly, get him over)
17. Topine (quality young player who will need to be given time sooner rather than later)
All of this is just me being bored and frustrated... I know none of my preferred signings will come to fruition... We will extend Tolman, play Lewis forever and sign Euan Aitken and make more bad choices along the way...
