So if we add Tetevano, and Burton replaces May now that he has pleaded guilty, still leaves one spot left.

That is usually a junior. They won't fill that spot till June next year.
Still have a feeling we have another player in the backs coming. Probably lose someone though, to free up a spot and money.

Blade said if we can find a centre Whare is gone so he probably has something lined up already in case that eventuates. I think weve promoted enough juniors to the squad now, we have the Blore brothers and Mcgrady all yet to debut and probably Burton on one game plus development players. I’d be holding a spot, if we are still looking for a centre their doesn’t seem to be many good ones available atm, I’d hold that spot, still have Latrell and Jai Arrow to sign which might force someone else out.

If we find a centre I'm pretty sure whare will be out the door.Also are we wasting our time with MWZ his brother is gone and he has had his chances I can't see him playing 1st grade again unless we have a stack of injuries.

The brain trust at our club have brought in a hooker, front rower and utility back rower.

When I look at the list above it is scary how lacking in depth and quality we are in our outside backs

Forwards win matches do the saying goes, let’s hope so.

It looks like the club is going to stand by May for the final year of his contract if the NRL don't sack him. Or atleast it looks like Ivan wants to anyway.

If that's the case. If the NRL allow him to play. Who do we expect to get our final top 30 spot? Would we really give it to Burton if we had Luai, Cleary, May and Blore to call on in the halves?

Seems like plenty to get us through to when development players can be used. But if not Burton. Who? No one else really seems ready for a top 30 spot.

I'm saying Burton for the reason you mention at the end. He's about it as far as ready to go round 1 if needed.
