would be a cracking round of recruitment for Saints
Its a big year for us recruitment wise, we have Roby and LMS retiring, and Makinson, Hurrell, Lomax, Walmsley and Paasi not likely far behind them, and the majority likely needing to be replaced in the next 2-5 years. Couple that with Lees, Knowles, Welsby and Dodd being a constant poaching threat from the NRL, our recruitment team have their work cut out.
We knew this going into this year though, which played a part into why we did so little recruitment last year. A lot is going to depend on the supposed 3rd marquee vote, as it will give us enough space to go after Luke Thompson, without hindering our ability to keep Dodd/ Welsby who are the most immediate threats. Since Thompson is a home grown marquee, and thus only 75k on the cap, that then frees up a lot of space for the rest of our recruitment. Were not likely to replace Mata'utia like for like as Wingfield deserves to be in the 17 every week, so then we have money to invest in other areas, preparing ourselves for the next tranche of retirees.
