I was always a massive graham fan but he is obsolete with our structure and playing style. And his coin doesn't warrant his position anymore.
No inside info but you would need to move graham, Eastwood, lichaa, Morrisx2, Tolman (that's almost 2.5 million as a conservative figure). That's on top of Reynolds & kas going.
Best way up for me is to tear everything down first. I know the club won't do it (especially with these back ended deals). But then we need to pick up a top of the line fullback, a decent 5/8, a proper lock (with decent speed and an offload). Pick up or promote a few young hard running props. Hopefully you would think you can cover the hooking position with the signings we have made over the past 2-3 seasons. And have a decent young hard hitting back rower on the bench.
Saddest thing for me was seeing holland retained long term (ok can't bag him after he got us across the line last week). It indicates he is line to be a full time first grader. I think he will be found out, especially with some of these giant wingers in the game these days.
One thing for sure is Hasler hasn't shown me yet he knows how to rebuild a team and he was lucky at manly with a few once in a generation players coming through almost at the same time. And he has tried to do the same here but failed with his lack of vision and decent recruitment.
