I think the way another thread was merged into my Jason Ryles era thread is a bit unhelpful?

It may have been better to have the other thread shown as replies, rather than inserted as if it were the original. The way the editing has been done has the possibility of narrowing the focus of discussion, potentially restricting it altogether.

Just my 2c

You've been analed by a merge

With Gutho in your 13 jersey, do we need Lussick on the bench?
Hands off, Gutho to 9, and Joe, Matterson or Charlie to 13.

Probably not. Unsure who else would be needed on the bench. Apart from Paulo and Lane those middles could play 50+ comfortably, assuming Gutho handles the defensive transition, and there's edge cover with Matterson and Lane although not ideal. Guess you could have Sean Russell who gives us backline utility.

First choice, currently signed so far, at full strength:

1. Iongi
2. Simonssen
3. Lomax
4. Penisini
5. Sivo / Iongi
6. Brown
7. Moses (c)
8. Ofahengue - 40mins
9. Hands - 60mins
10. Lane - 40-60mins (if used on edge)
11. Tuilagi - 60mins
12. Cartwright - 60mins
13. Hopgood - 60mins

14. Gutherson (c) - 60mins (dummy half/lock/backline if needed)
15. Matterson - 40-60mins (if used on edge)
16. Paulo - 40mins
17. Moretti - 40mins

NSW Cup backups: presumably Brazel, Doorey, Dunster, Greig, presumbably Guymer, presumably Keir, Lussick, Mataele, Russell, and Tuivati.

So that's 17+10 players, leavings 3 spots left to fill for the top 30. Unless Sivo, Greig or Lussick leave for elsewhere over summer, in which case we've got more vacancies.

If we do have coin to shop with, I'd like to see us sign in (for 2025, or 2026) a decent second rower, a backline player and an additional/bench hooker. Mainly because Cartwright, Gutherson, and Lussick will all be over 30 and off contract at end 2025.... Ofahenguae will be in the same boat, but it looks like we may have some possible forward prospects coming through in Guymer and/or Mataele.
