Almost every suggestion of player recruitment has been shot down on here so, please leave your suggestions if there’s any left on here but it’s gotta be realistic
Let’s solve the mystery, What does the kennel want?

1: Latrell - strike Centre (the best Centre in the game), goal kicker, field goal option (+ a little bit of long kicking in general play)
2: Harry Grant - best Hooker coming through ISC and has massive wraps (unless someone on contract pops up there is no one else)
3: Thompson/Taukeiaho - best decent/good Prop's available
4: (if enough funds) Vunivalu - best meta Winger available (other options are Oates and Cotric, I don't think Cotric is likely at all)

I'd retain most of our current squad and add these 3/4 signings.
I think the biggest thing is quality brought in for these positions. It doesn't neccesarily have to be these exact players as this is best case scenario (if we're tight with our money we'll probably sign none of these players).

Latrell Mitchell and David Fifita for me. They're both very young and will be two of the best players in their positions for many years to come. I'd accept Manu instead of Mitchell but we need Mitchell more for his kicking and he's a little bit more explosive. A good hooker would be great. I was hoping we could get Radradra but after the world cup we'd probably have to spend about 1.5 or 2M a season to get him away from European rugby clubs. We really need a few of the top players in their positions. I really can't see Joey Leilua being a good fit for our club at 27 and at his condition / weight

No show ponies. I reckon a Paul Vaughan or a Ryan James type to back up Napa and Tolman, and say a Xerri into centres. Jim Dymock as assistant coach and with another year with these young fellas, and if Foran stays fit, come September we’re playing finals! Easy!

I want a squad entirely made up of wahmens.
With fairness, equality and all the other PC B/S, they will be untouchable and win the championship next year unopposed, whilst showing the world what a fucking farce the NRLOL is!

Keary, Bateman, A. Fafita, Pappenhausen & Victor Radley would be my targets.

Manu over Mitchell. Better defender and more consistent and not a show pony. A real team player. Teukeahu from Roosters...or Ryan James. A no nonsense type again, tradesman, consistent, good defenders and metre gainers.

Latrell for mine, as long as it’s not ridiculous overs.

Just think we’re missing that strike option out wide. Someone who we can feed early ball to and make something happen.

If we can land Mitchell and Thompson for 2021 we’ll have done well.

I’m backing JMK to improve even further and end our hooker woes going forward.

Cogger is our little general #7 going forward beyond 2021. He is a gem.

All 3 of Lewis/Meaney/Wakeham have the ability to develop into a quality #6 long term though tbh I’m not yet sold on Wakeham.

2 gun centres to go to out wide when we need points...

Mitchell
Xerri

Oh plus a gun fullback like Tedesco or Trbojevic.

We add those 3 CLASS players to our squad and we can win a premiership.

Tedesco
Smith
Xerri
Mitchell

DWZ
Lewis
Foran
Napa
JMK
Tolman
Jackson
CHN
Elliott

Ogden
RFM
Stimson
To'omaga

Latrell is almost a must for me. I doubt our board didn't think that he'd cost 1m. Even if he has to play Fullback because of the price I think we should sign him.
Xerri is under contract and Sharks will move on other players to keep him. They won't sign Ramien if there is any threat in salary cap regarding losing Xerri.
Tedesco's not leaving the Roosters while under contract. Also once off contract you're looking at about 1.3m assuming he keeps his current level.
Tom Trbo would be more likely, but again he'll be around 1.3m.

Will DWZ stay around if we sign a Fullback? That's another potential problem. A lot of people will argue DWZ was our best player last year after the start of June.

My 17 would be something like this
1. DWZ
2. Reimis
3. Latrell
4. Hopoate
5. Vunivalu (Meaney/Okunbor if we can't afford Vunivalu in the salary cap)
6. Foran
7. Lewis
8. Tolman
9. Grant
10. Thompson
11. CHN
12. Jackson
13. Elliott

14. JMK
15. Napa
16. RFM
17. Smith/Stimson

Unfortunately, I regularly feel that vibe about your posts, and have nil idea how to help you overcome such!
