I think and wouldve thought most shared, that Mansour was the best they had. Simmons has been blessed this year, he's 26 been around for ages and only just now done something. Roberts is a little over hyped but certainly has the potential. I'd be cutting Simmons ahead of Masnour personally.
Dunno about the kids you mentioned but at the very least K Naq, simmons, roberts and prob coote would be behind Mansour IMO, and obviously would make a play for him before the rest of them.
we have a massive lack of speedsters in our backline.
Mansour would be the best winger in our club if we signed him.
Both.Or do we have a lack of massive speedsters?

I'd say Hayne and Hopoate would still be the best wingers in the club.
Guess we are all hoping we can make better use of them then dime a dozen wingers...

This year should have proven that wingers are no longer a dime a dozen.
Well the thing is with proper talent identification and better pathways, we shouldn't have to pay loads for other teams' wingers. Daniel Tupou & Jorge Taufua would have definitely taken the focus off our lack of wing abilityI can't believe some people have come out and said "Why would you pay so much money for Hopoate just to play him on the wing" when it is clear that wing is such an important position nowadays. As you said we have definitely proven that this year.
So then it's settled.
Norman will play fullback while Hayne and Hoppa stay out on the wings.
Loko will play in the 6.
I reckon Hayne and Hopoate are also the best fullbacks (and probably the best centres) in the club as well.
I'd say Hayne's the best in the club at every position from 1 to 7, and probably the best edge forward as well.
Loko would be lucky to be the fourth best centre in next year's squad. Fifth if we keep Tonga.
But I reckon loko could be our best edge forward by the end of next year

A move to the forwards is happening eventually regardless, I think he could turn into a very damaging wide running backrower, just hope injury doesn't ruin a talented player like him.
he's already our best centre by 3 good furlongs
