We've got two players on the books in Sione and Mann that can play a few different spots but aren't good at any of them.

I'd hope neither get many games in the top grade next year. Problem is they have another two years left to run.

I would be shocked if the club doesn't sign another outside back.

We certainly need to address the roster and recruitment Slots.

To Brown's credit, he did find Sione's best position this year ie bench middle.

However, our roster is a mess carrying Levi, Watson, Mann, Buhrer and Sione up to the end of this season.

If might be his "best" position, but playing 40 minutes a game making 45m with the ball, 20 tackles and missing 2 isn't first grade material for a bench middle. Joel Edwards without the red hair.

... and the pay packet.

Now we have to hope O'Brien and whoever else the club employs can work through the roster and cap situation as quickly as possible.

Buy guys we need, create good depth in all positions and do away with carrying 4 or 5 utilities in the top 17.

Yeah one utility is plenty, but Watson on way too many $$$ for that role. He'll be taking a haircut on his next deal, or looking somewhere else.
