Next seasons squad : Tue Apr 20, 2021 1:25 pm  
Yeah I know, only 3 games into this season but I would imagine there is going to be some really significant turnover in our squad at the end of this season. Likely outgoings presumably include Widdop, Austin, Inglis, Akauola, Clark J, Clark D (NRL possibly) and Hill (Leigh possibly) at least. That's a lot of experience and an equally large chunk of salary cap. Leaves Powell with a number of promising youngsters and plenty of current first teamers but plenty of gaps to fill too. It will be interesting to watch the comings and goings.

Fitzpatrick has said that Widdop will be here next season and they have big plans for him.

Re: Next seasons squad : Tue Apr 20, 2021 2:35 pm  
I think Widdop, Inglis, J Clark and Sita will no doubt be gone, these alone will give significant room on the salary cap. I know what has been said about big plans for Widdop, but I can't see it.

Austin I have a sneaky suspicion may stay, finding two new half backs isn't easy, and if we can bring Trueman in and have Austin for a couple more years hopefully Dean will be able to stake a claim. 2 new half backs plus a hooker in the same offseason would be difficult to deliver...

Hill is a funny one, he's been better in the first few games of the year, he may fancy a move to Leigh at the end of his career, but props seem hard to find right now, maybe Powell would be tempted to keep hold of him?

Clark - I just wont entertain the possibility of him leaving!!!!

Is Jake Mamo off contract too? Always offers good versatility, but I can't help but think his place would be better used by Roebuck / Thewlis / ANO academy player.

In terms of incomings, Trueman would be a great signing if we can get Cas to part with him, Peter Mata'utia has been mentioned too, plays right centre so could be an option for replacing Inglis.

Hill would need a quality replacement in a difficult market and I still want a backrower with a bit more attacking threat, Powell usually uses Milner at 13 doesn't he? Maybe a smaller, harder working player like Hughes could fit that role...

If the reserves are to return we may see a couple of head scratching signings that no doubt fans will be up in arms about, but have been signed specifically with the reserves in mind - What's Matty Blythe up to these days?

I think it would be handy to know who is off contract at the end of the year. We do need to remember that in a salary cap sport you can't buy everyone. But otherwise blimey ... try and enjoy the season and support who is playing now. Don't wish your life away.

Really hope Austin isn't staying. He can go and be good for 10 matches somewhere else. Very poor for a while now.
