14. Questionable, I'd run first with Toelau.
15. Henry
16. Sorro
17. Garner

I believe Alamoti wants to play centre so he gets first rights. Toelau was too green to stick with through the finals but showed promise and could develop given a season to do so. Garner on the bench so he can cover centre if a shuffle is needed.

Not much to sort really. We are probably deeper than ever imo with Cole, Laurie, Cartwright, Patea, Huth, Mclean2 all looking decent enough fill ins.

Wait what Cartwright have we signed that I don't know about

Bellamy will work him hard and make him a rep forward. They also rarely over pay.

Yeah there's definitely question marks over Stephano but you'd be crazy to write him off at the Storm. I think we're a bit better at polishing rough diamonds, but they're not far off and when Stephano is on he's elite.

Bellamy with polish him up real well. I think he does it best of all, followed by Ivan.

That is the market these days. Their pack is soft so they had to improve it, That is the cost of it

Yeah but my origin point remains they made the gf comfortably and added a big young prop to the same roster who is good when on. I think he gave up a little at the tigers much like Papali’i who we're getting. The betting is an objective reflection and the confidence for the storm makes perfect sense it's not an insult to the Panthers.

We still have a big question mark on the 6.
