I hope we go hard for Corey Oates and take him on as a second rower. He is already 105 kg and would have no problem stacking on another 4 or 5 during the off season. Bennett has told him that he is a winger at the Broncos hence his $300000 wingers salary. He has already knocked back a big Bulldogs offer and is being circled by 3 or 4 other teams at second row money. I believe he may be one of our missing links, for us to become successful. Him and Rowdy would "Rip It Up" As one of the greatest Rock and Rollers of all time said…. :sign:
Looking forward 2019

Both are on huge money at the Panthers, not even worth a quarter of their salary.

Lauren you are definitely correct.
However, Merrin, Tamou (light of other days) and Oates (totally untried) are not the answers imo.
If we can't get someone good - better to stick with what we have i.e. Lawrence, Chee-Kam, Aloiai and Garner.
Not ideal, apart from Rowdy but save our dough for when a stack of good players come off contract at the end of 2019.

If we have much the same team as we do now, Ican’t see us having a hope in hell of being in the 8,
And if we have to play Reynolds for most of the season, we may as well not turn up,
we over performed at times , but the rabble that we are , always pokes his head up and we go backwards again.
We need quite a few of Good players, not another clubs rejects, but but genuine class players
If we have to chase players like Reynolds and Packer and a few more, then we can only hope for for a bucket full of luck to have a better year,
Buying average players still only makes us Average

We won't have the same team, we'll have at least 8 new faces! What on earth are some of you smoking? Like children rushing to the Christmas tree on Christmas eve. Checking every 5 mins in case Santa's come. So impatient
We're don't need chumps, we need quality. And most quality players are still playing in the finals… Do you expect us to announce signings a couple of weeks before their seasons are over?
