If we sign JAC, its maybe a 2yr deal tops? Should be in a position of power for this deal..

We need to spend our cap for 2025, I cant think why else we would go for him.... lots of injury risk... and we still have no centre depth currently.. were going to have get Rava moved on asap and clear another spot.

Say if we landed JAC, Lodge and Boyd in addition to Val and Cook. It would be a massive upgrade on our 24 squad plus our cap would be in good shape so that we can sign a few more players in 26.

Think back to late 23 when Lawrie was our Alpha prop and Burns and Russell were our starting back rowers to put things into perspective. Another 3 players that have played Origin and for the Kangaroos and regular semi finals would provide the leadership to show the rest of the squad how to do all of the little things required to be a successful team on and off the field.

There are obviously more planks to swap out for first graders over the next few seasons and develop our junors. Things are slowly improving but it’s going to take a while to undo a decade of mis-management.

naaa they got those 2 McLean brothers.. I dont think they need a washed-up coke using injury-ridden winger on overs..

Welcome aboard JAC.

With Christian T the only stand out and it looks like Rav is on the outer, we need a first grader.

Corey Allen still unknown with young Finau. Flanno may use him later in the year to give him a taste hopefully, he will force his way into the top grade.

It going to take some time before we can get the big fish. I reckon we will sign players that improve the squad with JAC and Lodge. I'd add Welsh on the list.

Yeah if we get him, I reckon JAC left, SFinau right.. CTui and Feagai or Kirk as reserve grade wingers..

In terms of backup centres.. I forgot about Ramsey.. maybe.. otherwise its Allan I think and maybe the plan is for Mat Feagai to make a permanent switch.. ironically its a right centre reserve we need, which was his brother.

We need Rava gone though.. pretty sure Flanno is right off him.. so its pointless having him playing NSW Cup.. but he has to want to go to the UK.. we cant make him..

Wishart will be in storm until the end of 2026. We now have LKT. The kid played all 3 grades this year. Has a lot of talent and showed can handle first grade. The club should aim at developing his game further and locking him for the next 5 years.
We should not give 5 year contracts to young players who are developing. Five year contracts are for proven stars that we must have.

Well that is the difference between us and Storm. Wishart joined Storm beginning of 2022 (incidently from us) and he will be there until the end of 2026 (5 years) - Storm exercised the option to keep him. When he joined Storm he was a developing player.

LKT is well ahead of where Wishart was at the beginning of 2022. If he is not locked in, somebody will come in and take him of our hands.
