Too many park footballers in our side atm. We will need our full strength squad back to get a win. Our backup players are not as good as other clubs backup players. Even at full strength our forward pack are powder puffs. Then you take into account that the best players in our team don't have too many games left in them and you realise we need a major rebuild.
I keep hearing that we need a major rebuild but is that really the case?
If Daly re-signs we have the bones of a team for the next 6 years
1. T Trbojevic
2. Taufua
3. Hiku
4. Gutherson

7. DCE

Now obviously we are looking at a key forward signing and a half (2 if Daly goes)
Elgey and McInnes have been mentioned who would fit into that team nicely
B Stewart, Ballin, Matai, Lyon still have plenty to offer in the interm
Props develop later and Lui, Starling and Sao could still become very servicable players
And we have Pearsell, Travers, Ramian, Knight, Demetriou etc coming through with hopefully 1, 2 or 3 really step up
For mine we don't need a major rebuild, we just need to be astute with our recruitment over the next 3 years adding some quality and youth
For mine, perfect recruitment would be
Daly stays - lynchpin of our side moving forward
Myles signs - Quality forward, leader of our pack
Maloney signs - I wouldn't be upset with Elgey as a gamble but i think Maloneys goalkicking would be ideal, he has experience and he would be a good 2 yr bridging signing for Travers or Pearsell
Ofahungaue signs - young prop to develop alongside Trjbojevic
McInnes signs - I like Hodges and would continue with his development if we miss out on McInnes but i think this kid is the real deal
then next seasons team looks like
1.Stewart
2.Tuafua
3.Lyon
4.Matai
5.Gutherson/Trbojevic
6.Maloney
7.DCE
8.Trbojevic
9.Ballin
10.Myles
11.Mateo
12.Burher
13.Lui
14.McInnes
15.Symonds
16.Starling
17.Ofahungue
Forming the base of a future team
1. T Trbojevic
2. Taufua
