With the Morris brothers coming to the end of there career and most likely to retire who is going to replace them?
There are a few possibilities such as buying a full back and moving Mbye to centre if this experiment fails only needing a winger. Purchasing both a winger and centre assuming Mbye succeeds at fullback.

Also looking for players in the isp cup who we could move into the squad. There are numerous possibilities!

Example A:

1. RTS/ new fullback
2. David fusitu'a/ Corey Oates/ Josh mansour( preferably Oates and fusitu'a )
3. Mbye( we know Mbye is capable of being a great centre )
4. Hopoate
5. Montoya

Example B:

1. Mbye
2. David fusitu'a/ Corey Oates/ Josh mansour
3. Hard positron to pick judging the players coming of contract however I would say justin o'neill
4. Hopoate
5. Montoya

Could consider moving Hopoate or Montoya and shifting them around the backline.

Example C:

1. Mbye
2. David fusitu'a/ Corey Oates/ Josh mansour
3. Brenko lee( needs to work on defence )
4. Hopoate
5 Montoya

Mansour won't come. I would love him to, but he won't - even though it will make sense for him to.

Curtis Scott and Joey Manu plz.

1. Mbye
2. Manu
3. Scott
4. Hoppa
5. Montoya

If Mbye fails at fullback then Manu gets a chance to make it his own.

Curtis Scott. Enough said.
Don't think he'll come bro. I read somewhere/heard from tv commentators that he left Cronulla to get away from the area/scene. Being back in Sydney probably won't help that.

Do we have to go external? We have 1 year to work on some lower graders like reimis smith, kiko manu, harper and morgan.
Some ppl here might know better tho on what we have in juniors and their potentials.

Holmes is a dud at fullback. As a player I think hes overrated.

Any backline looks rubbish with Mbye, $750k for a centre who isnt a rep player? No thanks.

No chance. To comfortable in Melbourne after 13 appearances for the storm, six tries including a try to his name in the Grand Final and a Premiership to his name. By his own admission he loves the club.

Can we convert Carlin Isles from union to league. Dude is so fast even quicker then Usain Bolt over the first 40 and can step too. Probably average defender though.

I want to see how the Morris boys go next season before making any judgement on their futures.

Lets just hope Mbye doesnt fail, then we can focus on a decnet halves pairing for Foran if required. Or just start developing our juniors like way back when ....

Corey Oates is injury prone .. knees of a lifelong hooker giving $2 headjobs.

We will look in house for a replacement and have plenty of ability coming through.

Carr and Bergamin to name two. Then you have Reimis Smith, Jayden Okonbour, and a few others.

Else someone like Manu, or recruiting from Fiji/PNG would be worth a serious shot. Just on PNG, Maitua and Corey Hughes are over there running NRL things on behalf of Dogs at the moment.
