wishlist west aussie bears squad based on realistic figures i guess. things i consider important is players likelihood of game time at current clubs includings if there's other players in same position, players age, players market value
1.
jayden campbell (i think titans keep kini and brimo)
2.
sione katoa (short term initial squad signing for backline experience)
3.
rocco berry (could have similar attributes to herbie under right circumstances)
4.
starford to'a (can see him being squeezed out of tigers due to more important retention)
5.
nick murphy (think will be panthers surplus)
6.
mikey lewis (best young half in esl but means little til he comes down under to test his thunder. wasted at hull)
7.
tyran wishart (off contract same time as hughes. might be wishful thinking here)
8.
griffin neame (throw kitchen sink at this bloke. leader in the making)
9.
brendan hands (think eels will give him punt but he can still be a good dummy half)
10.
moeaki fotuaika (still young and could bring the experience by then. quality middle)
11.
zac hosking (for experience and standards)
12.
connelly lemuelu (think he will eventually leave or be let go from phins. just vibe. goodun player. maybe because phins keep oryn keeley over him)
13.
charlie guymer (gun player. will start slowly hitting straps by then. poach him off parra)
14.
jamie humphries (steal him from wayno)
15.
jesse colquhoun (think he will be surplus at sharkies)
16.
matty lees (sneak his signature under st helens nose. needs to test himself in nrl)
17.
hohepa puru (just needs a chance to show what he can do. very young still)
18.
oli leyland (wasted in esl. could be a decent backup half. still very young)
19.
luke smith (good kid coming through doggies ranks. 2024 jersey flegg winning captaino)
20.
matt arthur (maybe his daddio is coach?)
21.
jacob laban (skies limit. doubt he leaves warriors but go hard at his signature)
22.
matty ashton (wolves arent winning shit come to nrl to be squad player)
23.
ata mariota (raiders have 1000 mids. game time)
24.
josh rogers (bring him back to west aus as local. will be 32 and purely depth)
25.
matty nicholson (maybe raiders surplus?)
26.
josh allen (depth signing from cairns)
27.
tony sukkar (not sure if tigers keep him)
28.
riley pollard (young sharkies half who could develop into decent back up)
29.
darius rogers (best current wa local under 18)
30. best norths harold matts junior 18/19 years old by 2027
