Signings for 2020 and future looking team

[BLM01]

By letting go Widdop, Robson and most of the deadwood and replacing them with talented juniors and young fringe first graders we will achieve an estimate of 2m;
Widdop
Aitken
Lafai
Maranta
Runciman
Dufty
Robson
Latimore
Allgood
Kerr
Graham

Where we do agree is.....some of those players above should be moved on
But I cant talk salaries with you as we really both have not got a clue unless we are told

So what happens when everyone comes off contract and want upgrades? Everyone but Saab (and turbo haha) will be off contract 2020

I'm not sure what the cap is for 2020 however, the cap for 2019 is over 7m. Millward's job is to fit our squad under the salary cap. If at the end of 2020, we have to lose some, hopefully we can recruit replacements who are 'like for like or better'. For those who want upgrades, again it will be up to Millward to fit them in under the cap.

Adding T Turbo to fullback gives us a good solid backline with big fast players. The likes of Pearson, Ravalawa, Lomax and Saab will be more experienced players in 2020 if given the opportunity to play first grade in 2019.

By adding brother Turbo to the prop rotation gives us more balance and strength up the middle. I've got fingers crossed that De Belin will be there however, Frizell is the obvious replacement if De Belin is not available; Ford is another young forward that may just surprise if given an opportunity to play first grade.

I think we should negotiate a full team swap. We will take the entire Manly team 1-17 from 2021 and give them our 1-17. Nah screw that I hate Manly.
Lets do a swap with Roosters.
Make it happen Millward you muppet!

Ok, so lets all have a reality check here. The chances of the Turbo bros comung here are remote at best and it wont be about the money. I'd guess our fhances are about 1% of signing any of them.

I have a feeling our 2020+ backline will look something like:

1. Schiller
2. Saab
3. Lomax
4. Lafai (1yr) then Rava/Masters/Feagai
5. Rava/Pearson/Periera
6. Nornan
7. Hunt

Most of the proposed top 17 are already under contract:
1.T Turbo - not yet under contract
2. Saab
3. Lomax
4. Pearson
5. Ravalawa
6. Norman
7. Hunt
8. Turbo - not yet under contract
9. McInnes
10. Vaughan
11. T Sims
12. Kaufusie
13. Frizell / De Belin

14. K Sims
15. Laurie
16. Leilua
17. Timm / Host

james graham has a player option for next year and he has said he wants to play on .......kaufusi played very well in canterbury cup and looks a better prospect than some of the other experienced forwards .......

Given Mary is still the coach next year I would say our backline will look like this
1 Lomax
2 Pearson
3 Aitken
4 Lafai
5 Ravalawa

Nah, they can have all of our deadwood and our coaching staff for the Turbo brothers and Hasler and his coaching staff.

 

[possm]

Given Mary is still the coach next year I would say our backline will look like this
1 Lomax
2 Pearson
3 Aitken
4 Lafai
5 Ravalawa

Lafai and Aitken are key deadwood players we should get rid of. A new fullback or new winger is essential with Saab on a wing and both centres Aitken and Lafai GONE.

 

[Walpole]

1 Lomax
2 Pearson

There's no place for reality in this thread!!

Cody Ramsey is way ahead of James ATM and when James joins it will be as a Flegg player not top 30.

Yeah lomax could be a part of the team then we won't be able to afford him...what a mess that would be

GD are sure James Schiller will be Flegg..he will be turning 19 next year?

 

[Frank Facer]

He will probably be 18 for most of if not all the footy season.

Cronulla has played Xerri this year and he is still only 18.

I recall the likes of Brett Rodwell, Daley, Brasher, Fittler, Terry Hill, Ettingshausen, Fittler, Mitchell, Karmichael Hunt and many others all playing first grade at 18 years or younger. I am of the belief that if they are good enough they are old enough. Hopefully Schiller is good enough.

 

[Paddles]

I am of the belief that if they are good enough they are old enough.

Yeah but Mary is of the view that if they are good enough he won't play them

 

[RedV Resurgence]

Mary's coaching rule number 276 - Don't select players unless they have at least 100 NRL games of experience.


F... knows how these guys will get the experience at the dragons with Mary in change.

I agree especially if they are backline playes.

Hopefully Mary will be sacked and ride of into the sunset on his jetski with his golden handshake delivered by CEO B Johnston and the SGI Board.

Thoughts on taking a punt on George Burgess for f**k all.
He's a dipshit but he has a go and for the money we could get him for we could spend the same on a much lesser player and give ourselves a bit of depth in the middle. Jimmy Graham would certainly be a good influence on him

I would take a punt on anyone that can dent the line and have a quick play the ball but Georgy Peorgy is goin home. The Burgeon Channel 9 hysteria and era is coming to an end.
