Squad succession

[Gronk]

I'd comment on this however @Poupou Escobar hasn't updated the list. I've heard people question if he is up to the job anymore. A harsh but fair criticism

 

[Chipmunk]

So George Jennings, Will Smith and Ray Stone the only ones unsigned that we're still considering by the looks of it.

I think Gennings is worth a small deal, Smith and Stone could take or leave it depending on who else they might replace them with. Anything more than a minimum wage deal for either of them is too much.

He goes MIA more than Moses in a Finals match.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Interestingly Gennings / Smith are off contract but not on the list, so they may have re-signed

Stone too

[emjaycee]

gonna miss Taka the most, the guy is a true utility

You're going to miss him or the team is going to miss him?

 

[Joely01]

have I missed something, where’s the Staggs talk come from? Or wishful thinking?

Because I am a firm believer in the power of positive thinking and if I keep saying it, then it might just come true.

the team

 

[Happy MEel]

Can I assume Sivo’s apparent departure is also part of this positive thinking?

edit: Saw him as 18th man. I guess it was more my positive/wishful thinking

Nah mate, he is heading back to reggies to actually learn how to play the game.

So we have 19 players ready to go for next year, so we have to sign 6 players before the start of the off-season (normally 1 November...suspect will get pushed back to 1 January 2021). With Will Smith, Gennings and Stone all probables, meaning we have to sign a minimum of 3 more by the start of the off-season and a minumum of 7 all up by the start of next season, if it sticks to a Top 30 squad.

Well we'd know more if @Poupou Escobar got off his arse and updated the list. FFS.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

What about the list isn't up to date?

FFS

* = player option
¢ = club option
^ = development contract
# = provisionally suspended

 

[Twizzle]

pcbf = Pou couldn't be f**ked

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Yeah, was just going through this to find out about Smith.

 

[Gronk]

So we (officially) have 18 merkins in next year's top 30.

The 2021 squad technically assemble in 12 days and 4 of them have SOO commitments. Looks like there will be plenty of room in the gym.

Sign some players FFS !

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I dare say there's a few that haven't been announced.
