Maybe we can have one of Melbourne's? They have 4 or 5.

Who would all struggle in our system IMO. Nico Hynes is not that good yet he looks like a superstar behind what Storm have in front. They could Kenny Bromwich at fullback and he'd look like Churchill

List of players without a contract for 2021.

https://coupler.foxsports.com.au/ap...004aedbaf80ddd29dd7?__twitter_impression=true

Take your pick, not that many good options to fill the holes in 2021.

Actually would not mind picking up Ray Stone as a secondary hooker option, can probably also play as lock. Tackles hard, decent player.


Other noteable off contract players include Jordan Kahu, Kieran Foran, John Asiata, Danny Levi and Michael Oldfield.

The days of waiting for a player to be off contract are over.
Contracts mean nothing. You want a guy. The club dont want him. You got him.

I'd look at Sailor, Asiata, Benji. Realistically though, there's not much there. I like Frenzy's suggestion of Tracey at FB. Could turn into a Dufty/Edwards type.

We need a fullback and a prop and second rower with some experience. I wish we kept Capewell.

Capewell had played 64 games before he left us. I'd hardly call that experienced. If we're going the experienced back rower route it needs to be a 100+ gamer if not more.

I didn’t mean that he had experience, I just wished we had kept him.

obviously to buy the players we need for the positions we need them in, it’ll take moving on some of whom we have already which won’t be an easy task. I can’t see fifita giving up his 700k or whatever it is for next year when he full well knows it’ll probably be his last pay day before retirement or England.

I don’t think any team would be stupid enough to sign him...

Maybe he could play for Wentworthville, but that’s about it...

Tolman lives in Caringbah and would fix a lot of our ruck issues. Useless with the ball though

I'd be looking at keeping Trindall letting the rest go. My goals would be to add some depth and experience to the squad by looking at;
  • A fullback to challenge Kennedy. Jordan Kahu isn't a sexy name but can fill a number of positions, kick goals and has experience for cheap.
  • A proper back up 9 to challenge Brailey. Nathan Peats surely is not going to be getting any big offers and can plug a gap off the bench as a middle forward if needed.
  • Then if there was cash left over I'd be trying to find that middle worker our pack is missing. We have so many impact middles - Hunt, Toby, Uele, Fifita or offensive props like Woods but we do not have a real worker besides Jack Williams who has his issues. Tolman for his faults could be a nice addition as would a guy like Matthew Eisenhuth or Elijah Taylor.
Other players like George Jennings, Caleb Aitkens add some experience for cheap. We hit a home run with the jets players coming in but we are tremendously under experienced and need some older heads to push these kids. Crazy thing is all those players I mentioned are likely out of our price range for 2021.

End of next season we can part ways with Moylan, Dugan and possibly Johnson if he doesn't recover. Then we can buy some exciting players.
