If you could add one player to our roster . . .

[The Who]

... to turn it into an authentic premiership contender, who would it be?
I reckon just one of the following forwards is all it would take:
Harry Grant, Tino, Kikau, Murray, Angus Crichton, Yeo, Collins, Carrigan, Haas. . .
I'd go for Grant, just ahead of Tino. Some people forget how damaging Tino was because he missed almost the entire 2024 season with injury.
I think our backs are good enough. It would be a waste having to play Cleary or Ponga in the Blacktown Workers team!
Anyway, who'd be your one dream recruit?

 

[Not Paul Kent]

1 Grant
2 AFB
3 Gus Crichton

 

[bringbackbeaver]

Wouldn't say dream recruit but I think we should be throwing a solid offer to Mozer from the broncos. You can see he's a gun. Super crisp passing. Fast around the ruck. He will be one of the better hookers over the next 10yrs and we could get him now for a good price

 

[pepsiseaeagle]

Daniel Atkinson from the Sharks.

I am thinking ahead. If it were now, Harry Grant.

 

[Cliffy_Lyons]

1 Ponga
2 Grant
3 Murray
4 Gus Crichton

 

[Disco]

The two positions that stand out to me are hooker and left edge.

Hooker more instrumental so Grant for me.

If I got a second Nikora...or Martin, though both play right I think, but I'm sure they'd manage

 

[Leader of the Flock]

1 Grant
2 AFB
3 Gus Crichton

2. AFB: I seem to recall a bloke called AFB played for us a few years ago but left due to “personal reasons”( i.e. needed to get the family out of Sydney or some such), strange how he’s now OK with moving to the Shire; so, that’d be a no thanks. Grant, yes, Gussie, maybe.

 

[maxta]

Grant
Martin
Murray

In that order

 

[LeonardCohen]

Dream:
Harry Grant
AFB

Reality:
RCG
Lodge

 

[The '47ers]

Grant
Crichton S
Carrigan/Cotter

 

[Rosko]

Obviously Grant.
As that is impossible, the other ideas about clever hookers welcome.

 

[frank stokes]

Yeo

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Tommy Turbo, fit every week!
As that is impossible, any of the above choices will do

 

[stoodamire]

Schuster.

 

[robbiea]

Cleary

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

My kingdom for a hooker! I might go for Reece Robson (thanks@Will on the hill for pointing out my momentary aneurysm) over Harry Grant because he's from NSW and is a little tougher in the middle. His style of play might suit us better. But I'd be happy with either!

Otherwise a backrower. Love Angus Chricton but would also accept Liam Martin in a heartbeat.

 

[The Indian]

Cleary

Yep Cleary then daylight for me.

But for us to win a comp we also need Payne Haas or AFB.

 

[The Who]

My kingdom for a hooker! I might go for Reuben Cotter over Harry Grant because he's from NSW and is a little tougher in the middle. His style of play might suit us better. But I'd be happy with either!.

Ruben Cotter is from Mackay in Queensland.

 

[DanielTurbo888]

I would like to add one more electrifying back who is a star in the making and only 20 yo - Keano Kini.

We need good depth in our backs because injuries have been a regular concern in that department. Jayden Campbell would be another good option. And he's only going to improve if injuries are kind.

 

[maxta]

There are whispers of a Tigers outside back maybe at Manly 2025....but could only be for Blacktown if it happens
