Best buys of 2016

[Dufmack]

Every year, hundreds of players change teams as clubs aim to improve their premiership chances. In this list, I evaluate not who the biggest stars are changing clubs because that is quite obvious, but which buys will be the BEST and make the biggest IMPACT. At the start of this year, nobody would have expected the effect Blake Austin would have had. More often than not, players who don’t have the biggest names are the best buys.

3. Jeff Lima – Lima’s most recent stint in the NRL came with South Sydney in 2013. During his tenure, he was the rock of their forward pack alongside Sam Burgess and Roy Asotasi. Lima will provide the missing ingredient that the Raiders need.

2. Damien Cook – Similar to Jake Granville, Cook has shown promise throughout his entire NRL career and is moving clubs for a first grade opportunity. Watch him make the number 9 his own with his speed and evasiveness. Come Round 26 2016, Souths fans will be saying: “Issac who-ke” rather than Issac Luke.

1. Darcy Lussick – In 2015, Manly’s biggest problem was how soft their pack of forwards was. With the return of the hard-hitting Lussick, Manly’s pack will not take a backwards step all year. Watch Lussick to wear Blue in 2016.

Lussick to wear blue? Rofl.

 

[Allstar Knights]

Lussick lol. He's just a thug who offers very little as a footballer. One of the most overrated players in the game.

But he ran into a fight four years ago and crowned it the best day of his life.

That's right, running into a fight is the pinnacle of his existence.

I read Lima and Lussick and think this is another troll post, but then I read Cook.

1. Foran - Will add energy to the line up, and a greater sense of leadership in the halves. Will be interesting to see if it allows Norman to open up his play a bit more.

2. Maloney - Will provide the Sharks with a more danger in the halves that will ask questions of the opposition. Sharks weakness was a lack of creativity, dynamism, and kicking game in the halves.

3. Hodkinson - I can see Newcastle vastly improving. New coach, and I think Hodkinson coming in to partner Mullen will be a great pairing.

LOL at Lussick to play Origin

Damien Cook will be a great pick up for Souths, Maloney and RTS will be massive buys as well.

Great insight regarding Cook.

Issac will be great for the Warriors though and so is Maloney to the Sharks.

Lol Lussick to wear Blue? Seriously? Get off the pipe

 

[de$$ie]

Haha Foran is a f**king pea heart, enjoy that one Parra. Matt Parcell buy of the year.

I didn't realise Manly were going to wear blue this year?
Reverse Wolverine?

Sounds like a sexual position for batty boys

 

[dogz08]

Hopefully Lima's a decent buy.

 

[Danoz Direct]

Hopefully Lima's a decent buy.

Don't think he will be. Horrible buy from the Raiders.
