Roster Breakdown: 2024-2029

[jstigers]

Hopefully we have abit of a cleanout this year Toa, Stafford, Murray, hope, Mason, will Craig, Seyfarth, Hunt. We need a backup hooker, 2 props, decent backup backrower and improve the forward depth badly. Problem is salary cap and still have to pay Luai 1.2 million in 2027....

Are you happy with our centres and wingers ?
With Luke Laulilli departing for Perth Bears and Jeral Skelton not yet re-signed for 2027, it only leaves us with Sunia Turuva, an injury plagued Taylan May and a promising, but not quite ready for regular NRL in Heamasi Makasini as our only genuine NRL centre/winger options for 2027.
You need 5 or 6 genuine NRL centre/winger options, not 2 or 3.

2027 starting backs

1 Bula
2 Turuva
3 Jake Averillo will be announced soon
4 May
5 Tino


NSW cup depth
1 Attard
2 TBD
3 Herbert
4 Makasini
5 Skelton-resign

That's how I see next year's back lineups and to be honest I'm fine with the depth for next year if it's like that, I'm more concerned with our forwards depth. Besides Ethan Roberts Im not happy with any of the forward depth we have this year at all

If Tino is our starting winger, forget about making the 8.
I love his story and there is no doubting the effort he puts in, but he is not tall, he is not strong, he is not fast, he struggles in defence and struggles making good yardage out of our own end.
There is at least a couple of better outside backs in almost every rival NRL teams reserve grade team.
I don’t mind Tino as roster player 26-30, but any higher than that and we have learned nothing from these floggings we are getting.

Jenkins burned him on the outside a few times. Is Jenkins even considered quick? I know Tino is considered good in the air but he needs to position himself better defensively.
