Unfortunately Kane Evans was in our top 17 and should be in our declinements.

Warriors won’t improve by much, still in Australia and their 3 middle recruitments are all pretty undisciplined at times. Prone to stupidity. Not sure what the warriors need.

Lachlan Lam (22) should be in the Improvements / youngsters section for the Roosters.

Do you feel Luai ( after 1 season) and Nathan are at peak?
They're close enough. Both 24 this year so the improvement year on year will be minimal at this point. You generally don't see significant gains in a season from guys in their mid 20s.
