To be a genuine chance at winning a comp from 2021 and thereafter I believe we need a team / squad as below. I've also listed likely salaries for each player so we could fit under the cap of 9.1M. I know it's probably not 100% correct in values (especially by 2021) but it's close and if you can do better please feel free to have a crack.
People keep complaining about Latrell Mitchell being hot and cold / in and out of games and not being worth a MIL a season for a non spine player. Well we definitely need at least 2 strike players in the backline (someone who can create something from nothing). If Mitchell were playing fullback he would naturally be more involved in all games thus earning his keep as a spine player. At fullback he could be close to a Tedesco. Remember also he's a goal kicker and also kicks in general play and has a pretty decent boot. If we lost Lewis we would need someone who can kick for "distance" and if Meaney were demoted for Radradra we need a goalkicker.
To fit in 3 big signings of Latrell Mitchell, Semi Radradra and David Fifita we would need to shed Adam Elliott, Aiden Tolman, Lachlan Lewis, Marcelo Montoya, Kerrod Holland, Sauaso Sue but it would be worth it to get ALL the 3 players above. Would like to retain Lewis and Tolman as back up but don't think it's possible / affordable unfortunately. Also I believe we're stuck with Crichton until 2021 unless we can shed him somewhere else. He wouldn't be on huge money though anyway.
For those of you unfamiliar with Devontai Seumanutafa, he's a great young middle forward recently promoted from SG Ball to ISP. He's from that famous Keebra Park high school. Remember he was the guy who set some benchpress record while still at school. I saw a clip of him recently breaking 5 tackles in a row during a run downfield.
I read of the squad of 30, 4 players can be on $75,000 then the rest the minimum wage would be $110,000 by 2021. Can spend 200K per year on long serving player/s outside of cap plus 100K in car allowances. Third party agreements are unlimited but players can only do work for companies not officially tied to the club (ie sponsors) and the companies cannot promote in media etc that the player plays for the .....
