First half looked good, but they were really struggling for "highlights" to show after about 2 minutes of video. Hey look, he can kick the ball..
So it looks like Wenty is getting a massive face lift for 2014. Lots of new faces in the list below and I've more than likely missed a few.
Arthur and Cook have assembled a very large squad for 2014. I'm not sure what their overall plan of maintaining the size of the squad is but unless they start culling players soon we will probably more depth in the NSW Cup than nearly any other club.
Some of the individuals listed below will end up in the NRL squad, while others are still eligible for the NYC but even still the squad count still sits in the mid-twenties. If the club intends to continue using the NSW Cup as the primary development vehicle towards the NRL there are also a few more NYC prospects that could be added to the list.
Fullbacks: Evander Cummins, Gerard McCallum
Centre/Wings: Semi Radradra, Justin Hunt, Ken Sio, Takai Moeakiola, James Tuitahi, Sam Manuleleua, Api Pewhairangi, Bureta 'El Burrito' Faraimo, Fabian Goodall, Vinnie Uelese, Dlyan Gilbert (Future Endeavoured?)
Halves: Ben Jones, Liam Foran, Toby Evans, Matt Mulcahy, Luke Kelly, Chris Sandow
Hookers: Ben Jones, Liam Foran, Kaysa Pritchard, Tiger Vatuai, Dean Parata (Future Endeavoured?), Brendan McKinnon (Future Endeavoured?)
Props: Taniela Lasalo, Walter Vaeu, Junior Paulo, Daniel Alvaro, Will Bugden, Pauli Pauli, Justin Lemalu
Backrowers: Joseph Ualesi, Daniel Harrison, Ben Smith, Joseph Paulo, Matt Ryan, Manu 'The Chairman' M'au, Joe Napolitano, Isaac Moliota (Future Endeavoured?)
I hope this guy Takai moeakiola has a great off season, he isn't on the parra website? Is he still contracted.?

To be updated
Certainly got value for money with the contract we had with Parata
Let them play good in Wenty where they belong. If they were any good they would be on top 25 contracts. Like Ben Roberts and Matt Keating.

Is there Salary Cap for the NSW Cup?
And what if things go wrong and they come good? Piss them off ASAP.
