Happy to let Sirro go, he’s ok as a depth guy but with most of the squad performing his $ are better used elsewhere. We can utilise our development players in his stead. Don’t know a whole lot about Kepu but he’s not a top tier guy so it’s hardly a big deal I’d think.
mid like to see us sign a winger with real pace. It’s something we still lack. I see Tuapiki is still unsigned for next year, feel like he’s gonna be stuck in the queue a while at the Warriors if he’s set on being a fullback. Can he play wing?
Both Montoya and Kosi lack pace, though I like Montoya’s mongrel and Kosi has the same potential.

I think the club has an option on Tuapiki for next year. Seeing as he wasn't mentioned in departing players in the club awards articles, I think that must've been activated.
