What are people’s starting and bench rotation forward pack looking for next year? Interest to see.
8. Alex Twal
9. Apisai Koroisau (C)
10. Corey Horsbra *
11. Samuela Fainu
12. Alex Seyfarth
13. Kobe Hetherington *

14 Latu Fainu or Tallyn Da Silva
15 Fonua Pole
16 Sione Fainu **
17 Royce Hunt

* signed
** re-signed

Klem = cup, back up for his final year.
 
Don't Sharks announce it first? The release of Hunt may allow Sharks to retain Williams.

Who would we prefer as our smaller forward, more agile and higher work rate style of 13 or edge back row ?
Jack Williams
Kobe Hetherington
Tallis Duncan
Dylan Walker
Adam Elliott
 
I don't mind the Hunt signing not too long of a contract provides impact we lose with Stef. I know a lot of people point to his impact at the sharks but honestly they are stacked with props they can afford to have him as a luxury off the bench. He starts for us imo him and Klem or him and Twal.
 
Actually don’t think Bird is a bad signing at all if he’s used in the role Kurt Mann has played for the doggies this year. 35-40 as the lock, just busting his ass and contributing to moving the ball around the park and creating second phase. If we’ve got him then it’s obviously less than the 600 he would’ve got for the dragons
 
Harry Triguboff has been the great white whale for this club for decades, always the supposed answer to any financial problems. In that time, Balmain has gone bust with its club falling into ruin, we’ve nearly been run out of Leichhardt half a dozen times because the place is falling down, we had to lean on the state government to get a training facility built and I don’t know how many players have left or not signed because there are sweeter deals on offer elsewhere. At what point will you twig that just maybe Harry isn’t actually that bothered, or at least not to the point that he’s going to separate himself from the thing he really cares about ie his beloved money?
You know why Harry has left Balmain to rot, it's because after years of pouring money into that backhole he was never even considered to be consulted on the Rozelle redevelopment, he was furious, came out in the media and explicitly stated that with Meritons contacts the Rozelle development would have been completed ages ago and Balmain leagues would be flourishing, instead they allowed themselves to be swindled. Harry had thrown who knows how much over the years in support of Balmain for the muppets on the board to treat him like that was a massive kick in the rear, anyone with 2 braincells would have done the exact same thing. He has said numerous times if Wests Tigers ever need help he's there.
