Mark the two halves I would recruit would be
Half - Kane Elgey
5/8 - Maloney
Option B
Half Elgey
5/8 Jamie Lyon
Option B is not a bad idea if I am not mistaken Jamie Lyon played 5/8 for us in the 2008 Grand final and had a top game in that position.. I actually like him there as he has lost the genuine pace he once had. He is a natural footballer and think this might actually suit him better than centre in the twighlight of his career.
OPTION B opens up other doors.
WE would than need to recruit a centre rather than a 5/8. That being the case I would be going for
1. Hopoate - This Brings him back home where he belongs, Hoppa is a Manly man !!
2. Dane Gagi - A superb young Talent
As for forwards we have to try and get Tom Burgess and get Darcy Lussick back also !!
The 2million PLUS we will save on $DCE & Foran should be enough to at least by two quality props $400-500k each another Rookie half back $150-200k and a quality centre in Hoppa's case id imagine that would be around 600-700k per season. That's under 2 million dollars..
BRING IT ON I SAY !!
