Changing of the guard

[Tiger_Steve]

A sign that a team is on the rise is that regular first graders from the previous year become ISP players in the current year.

Are we on the rise? If so, which 2018 first graders will be ISP bound in 2019?

Good post!
Eiso, ET, Fonua, Nofo

 

[Spud_Murphy]

Marshall, Farah, Taylor, Nofo, Aloiai, Chee Kam, Fonua

If they are fighting for positions it can't be a bad thing

Unfortunately Corey Thompson is the undeserved one …...forwards hard to tell without seeing how many have shaped up in the off season , Benji if Reynolds is fit

Have a feeling that there will be a bit of a clean out at the end of this year with the retirement of Marshall and Farah.

Madge will have opportunity to remold this squad for next with Josh Aloiai, Michael Chee-Kam, Mahe Fonua, Tyson Gamble, Luke Garner, Chris Lawrence, Jacob Liddle, Sam McIntyre, Thomas Mikaele, Robbie Rochow, Dylan Smith and Corey Thompson completing their playing contract.

But whats a contract nowadays …... so Eiso, ET and McQueen can be added to the watch this space list.

Most teams rollover/ lose around 20% of their squad every season

Yeah I'd imagine minimum of 6 changes to the squad

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

I thought Garner was on until the end of 2020?

 

[Balmainbred]

He was ugraded last year to the end of this year.

 

[Harvey]

Even if all those players go, it does not create a lot of cap room. Most would need to be replaced by players on minimum contracts.

The four development players also come into the top 30.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Pretty sure the website says he's on until 2020.
