Frawley is no loss , replaced by Connor and Sinfield Jr.


ECW will be no longer needed with a fit Sivo and Hall + lumb / edgell etc 


Lisone and Gannon need replacing imo. We need that Kylie type prop that can bend the line and a backrower with some strike ability.
I could cope with putting Jenkins or Palasia in there but we need to make sure we dont go short on props if we do that.


I doubt Watkins will play again after next year so we will need to replace him and maybe Sivo and Hall that year.
We have to start now ir we will have too many holes to fill in one go

This year I’d focus on the pack, a Prop (if Lisone goes), a Second Row (with Gannon leaving) and if we get the chance for a really good hooker I’d tell Ackers he’s free to go as he won’t be getting a new deal.


Next year I’d look at the backs, a Winger (with real pace to replace Hall), perhaps a Strike Centre unless Newman really continually hits his straps.


Otherwise it’s time to bring the kids through, they will be there or thereabouts ready, and we need to find out what other spots we need to look at so we have got to play them somehow.

Gannon out for about 5 weeks/games... 

He`s not doing well with injuries these last couple of years.
Nevertheless a very good prospect that I hope we have a deal in place to take him back should he return from the NRL.

Gannon got the Stevie Ward vibes, talented but too injury prone, can’t see him having a long career, maybe dodged a bull it as if he had resigned it would be in a massive long term deal.

He didn't sign a deal that would have kept him here, why would he have signed up to one that commits him to returning?
