It seems pretty likely they are all gone bar Brooks. I'd say the common manager, Robbie's influence from the grave (it's strong) and maybe even the big 4 whisperer, all played a role. Disappointed that they couldn't see the positives in Cleary's appointment but no doubt they've all been through the ringer in the last year or so and were fertile ground for the seeds of negativity this lot were spreading. If it's true Brooks, Teddy and Moses have all moved into the Bachelor mansion in Hunters Hill then it's time for an intervention to save our halfback.
On the positive side we must have the best part of $3m annually to replace them, and I get there are other threads on this but like a lot of threads they are getting very cluttered, tangential and off topic.
Straight replacements, we need a 1 a 6 and a front rower (let's get two)
Front row, for me it's gotta be Graham for his passion and maybe a Mattulino, but Knights are prop desperates and likely get one of them, so maybe we will still be looking at one of these and another who I can't say is obvious to me
6 for me with Brooks has to be a brilliant type, not a Widdop, Foran or a Reynolds and whilst it's a long shot, Shaun Johnson is perfect, so why not start there
Fullback is tough, there aren't a lot around and definitely no Teddy's, maybe Latrelle Mitchell, at worst I reckon we get a top notch centre long term to partner Suli
As a HCC old boy, Moses and Woodsy, you've broke my heart, but we move on, and I am as always firmly on the Tigers bus and happy that Ivan has the wheel
