It's a poor forward pack. We signed a few decent ones but let decent ones go, so expecting not much difference. Hoping to sign some good ones (and keep the decent ones we have lol) for 2024.

Twal is an honest defender but can’t bend the line Offa the same and Seyfarth is weak, we need some power up front
If that’s the best we can come up with get ready for another wooden spoon

This is what I reckon. If they play to their potential and we get basically no injuries they'll go okay. They won't be great but it might work.
Hastings at 13 means we lack go forward. Is it worth it ?
Injuries will kill us.
I still reckon the spine is more of a mess.

Starting to think if Papali'i makes it here he'll need to play in the middle.
He's more effective out wide but we have no one with any punch in the middle.

I’ve been saying this all year.
He is very likely to play up front. Stef hasn’t come on, Musgrove and Twal are stagnant….we need aggression.

Knowing Sheens, it might be Papali'i and Blore in the middle, with Talau second row and some other centre turned into a second rower.
Hopefully Musgrove goes to England, and Twal doesn't really seem like a Sheens player because he never passes.
We should be trying to sign Klemmer, Lodge, or even Blake Lawrie but we need someone up the middle.

Taupau and A Fifita at 450k each would lift that rabble significantly at good value.

Our Pack is by far our biggest problem but not the only one
We must stop giving chances to lightweight mediocre forwards they come up from cup and they can't bust thru the line and can't stop opposition power forwards busting thru ours . Stephano is the only powerful forward who busts thru the opposition line on our books and we get 2 more next year
Blore is an unknown after being out so long .Twal a good tackler but with ball mainly crashes in to opposition 5 m in front .Joffa is similar .
Rest are doubtful we need at least 4 power forwards

who plays centre if there's an injury? Swap Kautoga for Talua IMO and re-sign Joffa....
He doesn’t play 80 for Penrith. If that’s the clubs intention then are we really going to get the most out of him, or will we all be complaining that he’s not the player he was before?

If we can't get two impact props for 2023 then forgot progress for another season.
Really? Bit more than I thought but would he be worth that to us to lead & teach these young forwards we have before they all get fazed by losing all the time?
