I think we all agree that it has been a disappointing year and we could do with some strengthening in a few key areas but I hope we don't panic buy and over pay for players with only 2017 in mind.
For mine our squad is actually pretty strong and now we are coming into a unique period with a host of stars coming off contract next year due to the increase in the salary cap.
To name a few in 2017 there are Hunt, Milford, McGuire, Roberts, Ofahengue, Arrow, Vaughan, Rapana, E Lee, Hopoate, Tolman, J Bird, Graham, Holmes , R James, Paasi, A Taylor, Chambers, Harris, Johnson, Matuline, B Thompson, Gagai, K Sims, Taumololo, Scott, Gutherson, Radradra, Blake, Peachey, Whare, Moylan, Watene-Zel......whatever, Johnston, Reynolds, Aitken, De-Belin, Evens, Guerra, Matterson, Napa, Pearce, JWH, Brroks, Moses, Tedesco, Woods
For mine, I hope we show restraint this year
Maybe something like
Out - Stewart, Lyon, Mateo, Taufua, Leary, Burgess, Hodges and at least one of Lawrence/Starling
In - Asofa-Solomona, Meehan, Mead, B Lee, give Hynes, Wright, Api or John a shot in 2016 and front load some contracts
1.Trbojevic
2.Mead
3.Matai
4.Walker
5.Lee
6.Api/John/Hynes/Wright
7.DCE
8.Lussick
9.Parcell
10.Myles
11.Tapau
12.Buhrer
13.Trbojevic
14.Fonua Blake
15.Asofa-Solomona
16.Knight/Meehan/Vave
17.Brown
Then at the end of next year, depending on players who breakout (Maybe Knight, Hynes etc) we could look at something like
Out - Matai
In - Woods/James, A Taylor/Moses/Bird, Aitken/Holmes
For mine beeter to take the risk on some yound players breaking out next year than paying overs for players like Blake Green (no disrespect for Green, solid player)
