We are at the half way point of the season and I am bored so I though I would have a look at how the squad is shaping up for next year.
I have gone through and listed who we have on contract for 2021 and listed their ages in 2021 in brackets.
Squad for 2021 (24 players)
2021 – J Aloiai (25) S Blore (20) K Bradley (21) L Brooks (26) M Chee-Kam (29) Z Cini (?) A Doueihi (23) L Garner (25) J Leilua (29) L Leilua (25) J Liddle (24) J Madden (21) M Mbye (27) T Mikaele (23) P Momiroski (24) Z Musgrove (25) D Nofoaluma (27) R Packer (31) J Reynolds (32) J Simpkin (19) T Talau (21) A Twal (25) S Utoikamanu (21) B Walters (27)
Average Age – 24.75 years
Position breakdown
Fullback (2) – Doueihi, Mbye
Winger (5) – Talau, Nofoaluma, Momiroski, Bradley, Cini
Centre (4) – Leilua, Mbye, Talau, Momiroski
Half/five-eight (4) – Brooks, Reynolds, Walters, Madden
Edge backrowers (4) – Leilua, Garner, Chee Kam, Blore
Middles (6) – Aloiai, Packer, Twal, Mikaele, Musgrove, Utoikamnu
Hooker (3) – Liddle, Simpkin, Walters
Off Contract – O Clark (24) M Eisenhuth (28) R Jennings (25) C Lawrence (32) B Marshall (36) S McIntyre (23) C McQueen (33) A Seyfarth (22) D Smith (22) E Taylor (31)
Note: H Grant (23) due to return on loan and R Hoffman (20) currently only signed on a development contract.
So we have 6 positions to fill from a fairly weak player market. Everyone would love for us to somehow get Grant to fill one of those positions and given Hoffman has already jumped ahead of Cini and Bradley I wouldn't be surprised if he gets offered a full time deal which would add winger and center depth.
Of the off contract players I would offer McIntyre a new deal and Eisenhuth and one of Clark/Seyfarth new deals as squad depth.
I feel we are light on for fullback and edge backrower depth so we should be targeting someone on the market to fill those holes.
2022 looks like the year when we might see a large turnover of the squad as we only have 12 on contract and can finally clears some of the Ivan nightmares.
Squad for 2022 (12)
2022 – L Brooks (27) A Doueihi (24) L Garner (26) R Hoffman (21) J Leilua (30) L Leilua (26) M Mbye (28) P Momiroski (25) J Simpkin (20) T Talau (22) A Twal (26) S Utoikamanu (22)
Squad for 2023 (3)
2022 – L Brooks (28) A Doueihi (25) S Utoikamanu (23)
