get rid of Dugan and Moylan and bring Val back if Latrell signs with the Cowboys.

Tetevano would be a perfect addition to replace Gal - coming across from the Roosters system and a NZ rep. As it stands, can't see any of our current crop being able to take over the number 13 jersey. Huge hole

I see red1. J.Dugan - yeah, if he is still here
2. R.Mulitalo - Maybe, I think he could be a centre
3. B.Xerri - Not a lay down misery for mine. Ferris will put pressure on. Might be behind at season's start due to having 2 operations
4. J.Ramien - Lock it in
5. J.Morris - Lock it in
6. S.Johnson - Lock it in
7. B.Trindall - Not yet, only through injury. He won't unseat King Chad
8. A.Fifita - bench him in most games. Save him for big games. He is not healthy
9. B.Brailey - Lock it in
10.M.Prior - If he is still here
11. B.Nikora - Lock it in
12. W.Graham - Lock it in
13. J.Williams - Lock him up. Somewhere 1000 miles from any games. Perhaps sell him
14. B.Uele - Lock it in
15. T.Rudolf - Lock it in
16. M.Moylan - No value having him on the bench. Covers only 6 or 1. If he stays he plays. At 1 with Dugan in the centres for Xerri
17. B.Magoulias - Lock it in, covers 5/8, hooker, back row and probably even the middle.
Will not happen. They have 352 games between them and you want to replace them with 2 guys who have ZERO games at all yet. BT and TR. Last thing I hear was the Sharks have 25 players locked in after Ramien signed. With $300,00 left to get 5 in before June 30th. NRL development contracts are defined at $75,000 so that leave only $150,000 for 3 journeymen or whatever if the club goes with half the allowed dev players. Bit hard when the minimum wage now is $105,000. Therefore ditching Woods and Townsend would be plain dumb as they won't be replaced by anyone with anywhere near the experience. The club may have to go with 4 development players and use up that $300,000 there and try to buy in some experience if/when someone leaves. The fact Feefs has taken a 6 figure pay cut to stay highlights the difficulties.
The club needs to be watching the developments with Gillett and Burgess as well as keeping in mind the Inglis bullshit and consider a medical retirement for Fifita is the NRL sets some weird precedent with giving salcap relief to Souths and Bronocs - which they have already done once.

The club still has to move one on.
So, as I see it if...
Moylan goes - Duges is Fullback and Xerri plays centre
Dugan goes - Moylan plays fullback and Xerri stays
If Prior goes - we are f**ked up front with Fifita half crippled and the rest inexperienced. TPP then has to start
If they all stay - Xerri out and
1. Moylan - who I don't even think much of
2. Mulitano
3. Dugan (L) - anyone who thinks Xerri is a better option simply due to having an extra yard of pace is deluded
4. Ramien (R) - same, anyone who thinks Xerri is a better option simply due to having an extra yard of pace is deluded
5. Morris
That is the best backline available with limited resources and limited players
Get used to it everyone. The Sharks are in for a lotta pain for a few years
Also remember the usual backline cover, Kurt Scapegoat, is not yet signed.
The only thing that will get this side to the semis for the next few years will be experience so it is madness to even consider ditching the likes of Townsend or Woods
Good to have you back posting Stakey you fargen loon!!
Moylan will be on once Dugan has his usual breakdown. I like that team except for Prior, if he's staying he should be on the bench with Toby starting.
Old trell will be gassed in 10 minutes playing FB.
