Journey Man
I hope the reason some of these signings haven't been announced, is because they haven't been made, or we are still evaluating everything.
I agree with @Fluffy about our lack of depth next season given that list. I was told that list is great exaggerated, and I hope that's true.
End of the day, our contracted players ARE contracted - so if they dig their heels in, they are depth in our top 25 worst case scenario.
Look, I understand that the club is taking the opportunity now, knowing full well Matty Ballin may be retiring in 12-24 months to acquire really young guys, as they are available now - BUT DO NOT BURN YOUR PLAYERS. We have seen the result of that these past 18 months.
In a perfect world, where flowers bloom, the water is milo/milk, and noone has to work, I'd love this (and think this is GF quality that Barrett would luckily inherit).
01. Brett Stewart
02. Jorge Taufua
03. Steve Matai
04. Jamie Lyon
05. Tom Trbojevic
06. Api Koroisou
07. Daly Cherry-Evans
08. Jake Trbojevic
09. Matt Ballin
10. Nate Myles
11. Feleti Meteo
12. Tom Symonds
13. Jamie Buhrer
14. Lewis Brown
15. Brenton Lawrence
16. Darcy Lussick
17. Willie Mason
18. Clinton Gutherson
19. Peta Hiku
20. Matt Parcell
21. Jese Sene-Lefeo
22. Josh Starling
23. Blake Leary
24. Addison Demetriou
25. Liam Knight
26. Michael Chee Kam
27. Luke Burgess
Depth, depth, depth.
Players of note unfortunately gone: Justin Horo, Kieran Foran, Jack Littlejohn, Tyson Andrews, James Hasson.
We then have the 2nd tier and NYC cap to cater for guys like:
Riley Travers
Manaia Rudolph
and many, many others....
Would people feel more comfortable with a squad like above?
