Whilst I’m happy for the knights to get Pearce, in a way it sucks as you’d think the sharks or manly would have had to cut someone to get him in.
Papalli and Ethan Lowe off contract next year? Brown is the only other decent one imoHonestly, I think where we stand now is better than it has been in many off seasons.
We have recruited virtually an entire new team.
I would suggest giving them a full off season, see how they gel into the start of next year, then look to spend more money to bolster.
We have more depth and options than I can ever remember, lets see how this first lot goes before we start making more purchases.
If we have any cash left over from the cap that we need to spend I would be front loading the longer contracts.
As an aside, just about the only position I would be looking at is the back row, where I think we might be one player skinny.
Yes undeniably we do have more depth than we r accustomed to at this usually rabble of a club.However my concern primarily lies with 1 & 7 & to a lesser extent 6 & 9.Honestly, I think where we stand now is better than it has been in many off seasons.

We can’t recruit IC’s son quick enough coz geez we r clearly devoid of a quality game manager at the scrumbase.
The fact that Penrith swiftly re-signed May & Edwards a few weeks ago at the time IC made the comments about wanting to coach his son seems to indicate that Penrith r resigned to losing Nathan to us.I just hope it happens sooner than 2020 coz I have zero faith in the gump Brooks.Hence if the prodigal son brings his broncos attitude to Concord he should b wearing the 7 jersey for the majority of ‘18.
No doubt the choc soldiers will b moving heaven & earth to retain Nathan.However IC who is measured & judicious re what he says has given me enormous confidence that Nathan will b a tiger with the recent comments that he wants to coach his son.On the contrary mate, Penrith will pull out the stops to make sure Nathan goes nowhere. I don't think that they are resigned to losing him at all. They are just trying to lock up their spine.

IC would certainly want to get one back at the conceited bully Gould by enticing his son to Concord.
The fact Penrith haven’t been able to extend Nathan’s contract after the deluded Gould came out trumpeting they were offering Nathan an extended 5yr $3m contract which is massive unders demonstrates the diminished likelihood he will remain a panther.
Like I’ve said b4 it won’t surprise if Nathan is at Concord b4 his current contract expires !!
I can c a deal been done involving the swapping of Nathan for the impostor Brooks.
We still have 1 spot left in our top 30. I wonder how much cap space we have left for that player?
Looks like Pita Godinet was our 30th, must still have a bit of coin tucked under the mattress.
