Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 3163475, member: 2290"] The more I think about it reasonably, the more I think we shouldn’t rush into massive wholesale changes. We have enough talent to finish in the 7-10 position next year in most positions. Now of course if we can afford a Harry Grant, Cam Smith, actual marque half or fullback etc we should move on it but at the moment there isn’t much on the open market. What we need to do is sign a couple of experienced forwards that will help stop the leaks and set a good platform for our halves. We desperately need a coach who can simplify our defence and stop us leaking points. Now we have a lot of bad contracts on our books and players that should be looked at moving on when their contracts are up but even if the worse case scenario arises and none of our over paid players are moved on next season, there’s no reason a decent coach doesn’t have us sitting mid table with a couple of smart forward signings. If we get a lesser curse run with injury, there is still a lot of talent in this line up. With Boyd, Kahu, Fifita, and TPJ almost defiantly all moving on, and flicking Luke and Teo, we should have at least 1.5m to spend on a top shelf second row and an experienced bench prop. 1. Bird 2. Kennar 3. Farnworth 4. Staggs 5. Coates 6. Milford 7. Dearden 8. Lodge 9. Turpin 10. Haas 11. Glenn 12. ?? (reliable big name) 13. Carrigan 14. Paix/Macca 15. Oates 16. Flegler 17. ??? reliable experienced prop At the the end of 2021 we look at who is around to replace Bird at fullback, Milford at 5/8, Oates and Glenn in the second row, and Turpin and pay in at hooker. Depending on form and contract negotiations some of them may earn new contracts, some can be replaced by good off contract options like RTS, Grant, etc Sack Seibs for literally anyone, and drop some coin finding the best possible defensive coach.
