The last 5 spots. strategic Recruitment

[Nasheed]

Nasheed here,
worth its own thread.

ok, squad of 28 next season.

23 on the books.

Props:
Ogden
Napa
Thompson (?)

Back rowers
Renouf
Britt
stimson
Jackson
RFM
Chris smith
Elliott

Hookers
Katoa
jmk

Halves
green
lewis
Wakeman
Averillo

Centre three quarters
Hoppa
Cotric

Wingers
okenbor
Reimis
Crichton
DWZ

Fullback
meaney

Some of those players can slot into other roles. i think RFM will be a good prop and the wingers and FB can interchange.

But my analysis shows that we are severely lacking:

A backup centre (losing Holland,lafai,montoya,harper and only gaining cotric)

I just think we bring up schoupp here now that Hollands retired, he had so much buzz around him as the best teenage centre in the game, so i dont understand why we havent used him as hes 19 and 20 next year. Will be cheap cheap.

I also see the need to for a genuine premium prop. I wanted Pangai, but looks like he is staying, but we need an enforcer as critically as we need a hooker. Even if we get one, i think we will still need RFM and toomaga to fill in. perhaps we can coax another team to relieve salary cap pressure this way.

Now we at 25.

We know we need a hooker, no brainer.

26


2 spots left.

how are we playing it kennel?
Theres doorey, but it seems we have a glut of back up back rowers and this is a problem, even though we were hit this year with injuries and sex offences and needed every single one, the numbers are ok but balance simply isnt right to go one more rookie. we have one too many depth players i think when we need a marquee. As it stands, we only have one-Elliott. We need 2. But this will mean offloading a britt or someone for a marquee.

Theres also a need for another good half, especially with our blake green issues.

but then we have this albert Hoppa and staines talk and shit gets real.

The other thing i notice is we have one too many wingers. Averillo and meaney could also be classified wings. What a stupid idea it was to sign crichton for THREE years? Signing staines wouldnt be an issue if he werent there.
And here we have ppl trying to go for JAC !

 

[Ewan McGrady]

We need points . I’d lean toward Alex Johnson in a backline with Cotric , Hoppa and Okenbor....with Meany at fullback there’s points there.
I reckon a Benji for 12months to mentor the halves.
so AJ and Benji for the 2 additional spots for mine.

 

[Nasheed]

Will that not leave it shiort in the certres and forwards?

 

[Kenya]

We lack a ‘destroyer prop’.
Our spine is ‘start again’
Especially halves

"I just think we bring up schoupp here now that Hollands retired, he had so much buzz around him as the best teenage centre in the game, so i dont understand why we havent used him as hes 19 and 20 next year."

For the fiftieth time, we CANNOT play Schoupp because he is not in our top 30 nor is he a development player. For him to play would mean that we had to have had several injuries in his position. Then we would have to go to the NRL & say we want to play him & they would come back & say why don't you play Doorey in the centres or some crap like that (which they have said to other clubs before). Then if the NRL actually agree to let him play, we get a salary cap fine for playing someone outside our squad.

It's a dumb system, but it's the one that everybody has agreed to if not reluctantly.

What contract is he on!? Thought he was the same as Doorey.
Cousins they have just elevated him into the thirty once Harper and CHN went off as opposed to getting Lafai, who's limited to say the least ?

Also, it should still be ok for next year to elevate him regardless. Dogs could elevate you and I if they wanted. Which they probably will think about knowing them

But what you saying boi

 

[Mitch Connor]

That list hasn't been updated. I do believe they pushed Doorey up into the top 30 for the remainder of the season.

Jackson Topine and Aaron Schoupp are in the bubble training so likely that they are on development deals for at least remainder of 2020.

 

[Typical dog]

Geez I hope we sign another back rower

 

[wendog33]

We need a front rower who is a leader.

 

[Psycho Doggie]

Renouf is a prop you burke

 

[Dogna88]

Toomaga is a prop. RFM shouldn't be in the 2nd row

We are blessed to have Jackson Topine and Aaron Schouup they are going to fuck ***** up

 

[chisdog]

But what you saying boi

He cannot play because he isn't in the top 30 nor is he a development player

 

[Art Vandelay]

Up the Roosters!
