Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 2982693, member: 9052"] Been thinking about the calls that we may have a mass exodus on our hands if Bennett leaves with the main players being Lodge, TPJ, Oates and Roberts. I'm not so sure Oates will follow him, but that is based on nothing other than his comments about being a brissie boy now and wanting to be a one club player... he could chase the money now but appears to be set to take a new contract on. Not so sure about Roberts either he's lock down till what 2021 or 2022?? Bennett will potentially be retired by then so he'd only be leaving out of spite to the Broncos, potentially Bird would slot into his right center spot though. I thought it'd be interesting to consider the forward pack without Lodge and TPJ who are serious chances of leaving within the next 12-24 months and it becomes pretty apparent that re-signing Offa becomes pretty vital as a contingency plan. Second row depth is higher with Fifita, Sua and Gillett. We've got Haas locked down long term and Carrigan and Fleger as middle backups, but they're super young so in the short term we'll need Offa to become a leader of the pack. Given he effectively becomes a free agent as of November 1 we should be looking to lock him down as a priority before someone sneaks in under our noses. Re-signing Carrigan becomes a huge priority as well... even if it is a 12 month extension to get him through to end of 2020. He could be lined up as our long term prop/lock by then [/QUOTE]
