Ala will end up in the forwards I see he is listed at 183 and 98kgs.Ideally he grows a couple of inches and stacks on another 7-10kgs and becomes an edge playing beast.

He won't be playing edge at the dogs while we have Kikau and Preston.

I wouldn't argue if Hayze is dropped now to give someone else a go. I'm not convinced with Crichton. Maybe the Fox should have a go. Think Barba, less skill but faster. All he has to do is back up and finish off any offloads from the line not to mentioned finish off any breaks down the middle. Gets him more involved and less restrained by the centre. Might be worth an experiment this year when he comes back.

Will be interesting if we resign these 3, Avo, Ala, Burns and for how much?

I hope we keep all 3
I reckon the offers will be...

Burns 1 yr deal.
Averillo 2-3 year deal if he wants a modest contract
Alamoti 3 yr deal on a generous contract.

Considering we are getting Crichton and Xerri. I think it will be just Avo and Alamoti that will be kept. This is my opinion anyway.
I originally didn't have him in my top 30 for next year but i think they could fit him in even though we don't need him with like you said plenty of other options.

I would be happy for either Crichton or Avo to get a go at fullback.

1. Crichton/Avo
2. Fox
3. Avo/Crichton
4. Xerri
5.Kiraz

Alamoti first man up when there is an injury. I think Avo could play wing if he had to.

What has Alomati done to earn a generous contract?
Enough to tell us the kid will live up to his potential.

Considering there will be plenty in the market vying for his signature looks like we may have to match or come close to keep him. He is a Bulldog through and through so most likely he will stick around for less...

And the problem (depending on whose opinion you listen to on this forum) is not only are Kikau and Preston edge forwards, but we should be converting Xerri, Alamoti and Skelton. We'll go from too many outside backs to too many edge forwards :D
