With the release of Marshall at season's end plus others which have already signed for other clubs or will surely not be resigned (Tuqiri, Utai, Reddy etc) we are going to have a lot of money available for spending next season and imo besides the resigning of our talented youngsters which needs to be attended to (Brooks, Moses, Santi, Naiyaravaro etc) we have to hit in hard next year.
Hopefully by blooding some youngsters next year like Brooks and Lovett with out current young crop developing their games i think if we go on a massive double signing next year we could shape for extremely fruitful 2015 and onwards seasons. I'm suggesting we buy Shaun Johnson (who'se contract expires after the 2014 season) and George Burgess who is also off contract at the end of 2014 (if not George, then Tom).
I really think with Potter, he can develop Johnson (as a 5/8) into one of the best in the game and we won't be seeing the current inconsistency of Marshall in Johnson (which is partially due to Sheen's influence on Marshall's game over the years). Johnson would be a risk but someone who could really pay dividends later on.
As for George Burgess (although he has been somewhat an idiot this year lol) we have all seen what he is capable of, he could add that decimating scare factor that our pack doesn't currently contain.
Mayer said we won't be hitting the market much at all this year but for next year, if we could sign up these 2 it would be huge for our club and with a fully fit squad of experience and growing youngsters, i can really see 2015/16 being very rewarding for us.
That's my opinion on what we should do with our money atm, what do you guys think? who else would you like to sign?
