Again it comes to a log jam at centre. He like the 20000000 other options has size to move into the forwards

He is the one who has played backrow though. It won't be Tago.

depends on the McLeen's really

They kick on and Blaizs isn't a dud then fitting all in the 17 will be hard before you even get to AJ

If I'm ranking them then I have Casey at the top. He has played for NZ already and looks a specimen. Predicting big things from him.

One advantage Kepaoa has is that he has played 40 games in first grade. Also about to turn 25 in February. Ivan likes those types. Capewell was similar in age and experience. Hosking alike without as many matches etc.

He looks a bit too good for reserves IMO. Just the off field stuff that puts him at the back of the pack.

Then we also have Alamoti with a full off season under his belt.

Very young options. It is a good position to be in regardless

THE PERFECT OFF-SEASON: PANTHERS

Just when everyone is wondering if the roster drain has finally reached breaking point, and the players have inevitably lost motivation, the quest for a fifth consecutive premiership is ON.

No team has done that bar the mythical St George outfit that won 11 straight and the mighty 1920s Rabbitohs, and the chance to make that sort of history is irresistible, surging through the playing group as Ivan and Nathan Cleary return to mastermind another campaign.

Jarome Luai is out – Blaize Tulagi is in, with massive upside; James Fisher-Harris out – Lindsay Smith up and Isaiah Papalii in, with plenty to prove; Sunia Turuva out – Casey McLean, just give us some of that New Zealand Test form and we’ll make you a superstar, young man.

Pre-season gets each of the new men humming and come Round 1, they’ll be mighty thirsty for their own chapter of Penrith folklore. The culture of success makes them feel 10-feet tall and the risk of failure seems nil.

When you run a well-oiled machine that has demolished the NRL four years in a row, the trick is just to keep it oiled. Dylan Edwards and Isaah Yeo come back after Kangaroos glory healthy and hungry, as do grand final heroes Liam Martin and Paul Alamoti from injuries, and the belief burns as bright as ever that it’s their title to lose.

No one in the NRL era has done perfect quite like these Panthers, roster drain be damned. There are no major contract sagas looming this time, with every key player locked away, so every moment is spent thinking about lifting that trophy again.

It’s that brief, beautiful time of year where hope springs eternal. Anything is possible - even a premiership. Here is the best-case for your NRL team's off-season

It would have been nice if the Manly game was played at St Mary’s Stadium. Minimal/no parking at ground and everyone will have to drive. Leichhardt should of been a Westfield years ago.

It will be done for TV. They will be set up as double headers to keep costs down
