Obviously $$$ dictates who we target, but personally I would be looking at:

Ryan Sutton, Raymond Faitala-Mariner, Jackson Topine, Nikora, Franklin Pele, Kevin Proctor, Sione Fainu, Jorge Taufua, Ryan Matterson, Tom Opacic, Angus Crichton, Lachlan Lam

And retain:

Jock Madden, Tommy Talau

Obviously we all have a different take/value, but what I think it does show is that there is not a lot out there. Parra, Melbourne and the Dolphins will also be trying to do the same. Players (managers) have the upper hand atm.

One thing in our favour is our newly declared development club status, which means we should have the most money in our cap available for a few high value targets, seeing as how most of club should be "kids" on lower money.
Pretty grim list to read through. Crichton the only stand out player and that's not looking good. Maybe RFM?? Unfortunately the club looks to have been forced into development status because few players want to go there at the moment. Pray for a miracle some clubs have done the naughty and are in some salary cap trouble and will need to offload some players 🙏
 
Free to sign with rival clubs come November 1, he insists he is in no hurry despite the Tigers wanting to get a deal done.

“I haven’t looked into it,” Doueihi said. “There is no real rush. I want to show the club that I can play good footy. It’s in the back of my mind. Maybe closer towards the end of the year it’s something I will think about.

“You never tap out on your teammates or throw the white flag. I love the club. When I first signed here I said I wanted to bring success and we haven’t done it yet. I’m happy here and I want to bring some success.”

Now it’s only ‘some’ success. The culture works wonders!
 
I’m more worried we will keep Brooks which will force at least one of AD/Hastings out.

AD has made it no secret he wants to play 5/8th if we stick with Brooks over him can’t see him staying around.
It’s my concern too..

I personally want 7 Hastings 6 dewy.Brooks can work his way off the bench and come on at dummy half follow Jake. But that’s just me..Hopefully kimmorely thinks like me..I think it’ll be more fun esp in the coaches box Brett!

Im concerned about the same thing. Every time we get a new coach they think they can fix Brooks, by the time they realise they can’t, he’s already been re-signed.
