Hit List - Bullemor and Thompson or Utoikamanu

The new prototype for a middle is a big motor with good lateral movement and an ability to find his front and get a quick PTB. The older middles that play a pure power game are quickly becoming irrelevant.

Two years ago benches were made up of 3 or 4 middles. Now the best teams are playing 1 or 2 pigs on the bench in order to have more speed/mobility at their disposal.

For these reasons I think Bullemor is an ideal target and Marty wouldn't be a huge loss. IMO Marty is more valuable to us off the field than he is on it.
 
With rumours Marty is going off contract, inevitable upgrades to some of our young guns who've been locked in... we really need a quality prop or two that isn't on marquee coin.

- Thompson is reportedly on $700-$850k next year with Bulldogs willing to pay $450k - almost seems too good to be true... signing him for $300k-$450k would be a massive steal.

- Utoikamanu will be a NSW prop in a year or two he is that good in a very poor Tigers pack... he's at a shambles club and reportedly only on $275k... chuck him an upgrade and surely he jumps ship as we are a top 4 side.

- Bullemor is reportedly on the way to us. Unsure how much he is on but I can't imagine it is massive coin and i'm thrilled if it goes through as can play both prop and backrow, and is such a quick forward.

Sign 2/3 of the above and we have one of the best young packs in the comp moving forward.
Ah ! Hit list T B or not T B! That is the question!

just sayin!
