I might go against the popular mind set on the forum but I am happy to go with the team squad we have at the moment without any major signings for next year . We might not win a grand final in 2018 but I’m confident we have the talent to make the final series with a mixture of old heads and youth , none of the players that have been linked to us impress me on or off the field so stick with what we have and make the best of it.
 
What if they took this year to frontload some guys and then splurged on next years crop? This place would go into meltdown even though it’s a good strategy...

Could be a good option if we miss out on who we are chasing
 
Based on where we are currently....my YART for 2018 is....

FB - Tom Trbojevic
WG - Jorge Taufua
CE - Dylan Walker
CE - Brian Kelly
WG - Akuila Uate
FE - Jackson Hastings (Green ????)
HB - Daly Cherry-Evans (c)
PR - Martin Taupau
HK - Api Koroisau
PR - Darcy Lussick
SR - Curtis Sironen
SR - Frank Winterstein (Thompson?)
LK - Jake Trbojevic (vc)

BE - Addin Fonua-Blake
BE - Shaun Lane
BE - Lloyd Perrett (Edit: I forgot Lloyd. My bad)
BE - ??

Doesn't look much different to 2017 really......

You mean do something crazy like extending Siro and Api and upgrading their contracts this year and save money in the next couple of years?Madness............

That sounds like a great idea Loobs but unfortunately the way most footballers are these days they would take the big money now and as soon as their wages dropped they would become pests, make the place uncomfortable and want out to take bigger dollars elsewhere

The reggies need the "class and experience" of Brown more than the top 17......any excuse will do to exclude him from 1-17....

Sorry but that's a stilted, unworkable bench. You have four big men who can only play prop or second row. Where are the utility players who can cover a backline injury?

take walker out the equation for the first month with wright more than likely his replacement. i think we may be in for a tough start to the season

Mate, there was an article recently stating Walks is well ahead of schedule and is looking to be fit and firing round one :)

My prediction for round one:

01. Tom Trbojevic
02. Jorge Taufua
03. Brian Kelly
04. Dylan Walker
05. Akuila Uate
06. Someone Special
07. Daly Cherry-Evans
08. Darcy Lussick
09. Apisai Koroisau
10. Marty Taupau
11. Frank Winterstein
12. Curtis Sironen
13. Jake Trbojevic

14. Lewis Brown
15. Addin Fonua-Blake
16. Lloyd Perrett
17. Jack Gosiewski

With a settled coach, a full off season, top 4 team.
