Sad to see Paasi go if this does happen, but I think that the new guys coming in are 100% upgrades over the ones leaving. Can't remember the last time this has been the case for us.
Big Marn is spot on, in the first half of the year we struggled with points big time as RTS, Hiku and Cody were really the only ones who could create something. RTS has been heavily covered for almost 2 years now, so he hasn't been able to do much, but as the year got better, other players were able to offer more in attack which means RTS, Kodi and Hiku were able to impost their attacking on our last 10 games or so.
This is going to improve 10 fold with the new guys... If we can create more offloads and have RTS, Kodi etc running on to the ball, we're gunna be away laughing.
I think at the moment I'd have us pegged for 7th to 9th next year, depending on how things go (injuries, draw, covid etc), but if we were to snag a player like Brandon Smith, I reckon we'd improve to around 5th or 6th.
Anyways, I think it's looking really good, bring on 2021!
