Given our cap situation though i'd try get some experienced players on the cheap, like Bukuya and Latu.
We can easily afford to sign 1 player despite what the media says... So Sharks and Titans were rumoured to be interested in Tolman, well that could make life easy for us... for example;
We need a backrower to move Jackson to lock, so offer Cronulla Tolman for Bukuya.
We also need a major boost on our bench to help our front row, so offer Tolman for Latu (who isnt getting any time in the NRL)
This is a great scenario as it covers a weakness in our side and offloads someone who is surplus to requirements.
As mentioned in another rumour thread Koriousau would be fucking epic as he would 100% change the way we play and make us a threat again...but he would command big dollars which we would struggle to scrape together. Also Api fucking loves Barrett and the coach loves him back, this relationship claims the silver medal just behind Wayne and Darius lol.
8. Klemmer
9. Marshall-King (dreaming of Koriosau though)
10. Woods
11. Bukuya* an experienced campainger who can run a line, would love the appeal of a guaranteed starting spot until retirment imo.
12. Mariner
13. Jackson
14. Brown
15. To'Omaga
16. Latu* not getting game time at the Titans, big athletic body with some ball skills, try get him on the cheap! still young only 26 this year i think.
17. Fine (would like Okunbur to take this spot, but his pass selection/decision making in space needs improving along with his defence... i hope he fixes these issues as he could be a great impact player for us. If we somehow nabbed Api, i'd like to have Jayden in the #14 and run an extra front rower on the bench and have a heavy middle third rotation, but thats another story.
This isnt an overly dominat pack, but it certainly alleviates alot of issues we currently have and would be cost effective (keeping in mid that the Morris twins would likely need to be offloaded).
