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 !
