These days it seems that 5 plays would be the most we can switch out of our squad. But I do believe we are on our way to putting together a good team for 2025. For me, we do need two new props and a stronger spine. In saying that we could go with the following players:
1. Tedesco
2. Allen
3. Suli
4. Holmes
5. Tuipulotu
6. Wishart
7. Flannagan
8. RCG
9. Cook
10. Thompson
11. Leilua
12. Sua
13. De Belin
14. Liddle
15. F Molo
16. T Couchman
17. R Couchman
Priorities Fitness, Speed, and Defence during the off-season, and we should be very competitive in 2025.
Of course, we need to swap out our assistant coaches starting with Dean Young. I am sure Flanno has had some time to think about this.
If Tedesco is leaving the Roosters, he would be a great pickup for us. With Hunt and a few others to move on, we should easily be able to afford the above 7 new players, and 4 of our promising juniors.
Gone 10 Players
Sloan - Tedesco
Ravalawa - Allen
Max Feagai -
Matt Feagai -
Hunt - Wishart
Lomax - Holmes

Great top 17, and a good turnover/cleanout of players.
