Would suspect May, Mapapalangi + Tu'itupou will take Naden, Feledy & Staines respective positions, so I can see us easily at 27 for instance (and I think thats an upgrade - each would be on minimum and offer more other than potentially Staines).I just realised we only have 23 spots filled for 2026
I imagine Hope gets upgraded to add some hooker depth to the top 30 so I’ll say 24
most other clubs already have 28+ spots filled
We are going to need at least three signings
Leaves us three positions. IMO need a starting lock, halves depth and unsure on the final spot. Maybe another edge forward? But really, would be looking to drop big money on a lock - snag a star from somewhere.
