Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2511764, member: 1899"] [b]Re: Players off contract at the end of 2013 and 2014 - who would you like to see sign[/b] Let's begin by looking at the players we have officially signed for 2014 and beyond... 1. Josh Hoffman 2. 3. Jack Reed 4. Justin Hodges 5. 6. Scott Prince 7. Peter Wallace 8. Ben Hannant 9. Andrew McCullough 10. Josh McGuire 11. Alex GLenn 12. Sam Thaiday 13. Corey Parker 14. Ben Hunt 15. Matt Gillett 16. David Hala 17. David Stagg Ashley Taylor Jharal Yow Yeh Of those players off contract I'd be looking to retain... Jake Granville Lama Tasi Jordan Kahu Kurt Baptiste Dale Copley Francis Molo Corey Oates Caleb Timu - provided he's not off on his Mormon Mission. Kid can play. They would all be my priority signings. The likes of Dodds and Gibbs can stick around too but we're not offering top dollar to retain them. With Tasi's signing I believe we've signed the big boppa Gordie and co. have been calling for. Now it's time to bring in a couple of backs. I don't think we should really pay top dollar for the backline. Quality backs are so few and far between I'd much rather we went and signed a couple of prospects who otherwise haven't kicked on and give them a chance at an organisation like ours. They include... John Sila Stewart Mills Young Tonumaipea Denny Solomona Cheyse Blair Evander Cummins Couple of exceptions I'd throw in there... Harry Siejka - Has seemingly fallen off the grid since 2012 and floated from NSW Cup side to NSW Cup side but give him an off-season with us and see how he pans out. The kid can definitely play. Kevin Locke - Doesn't really require an explanation. Just didn't make the earlier list since he's already a Test player. Chris Grevsmuhl - Is a forward but an extremely talented one who's gone to waste at the Cowboys where I think he's grown complacent since Kristian Woolf left their 20s side. That isn't to say we should go out and sign all these players but if we could nab at least one it'd certainly make life a little easier. However, outsourcing isn't our only option. Of course we still have the Queensland Cup and National Youth Competition to draw on to fill that off-season squad. These are the players I'd be looking to bring in... Elijah Alick - Wing Jai Arrow - Lock Paul Byrnes - Fullback Cam Cullen - Half/Hooker Stephen Coombe - Prop Brandon Lee - Backrow/Hooker Kodi Nikorima - Five Eigth/Halfback Jo Ofahengaue - Prop Duncan Paia'Aua - Five Eigth/Halfback Tasi Tasi - Wing Kurtis Lingwoodock - Backrow [/QUOTE]
