Looks like we have these players off contract at the end of 2022 (according to zero tackle), ie available to sign elsewhere on Nov 1

Luke Garner, Asu Kepaoa, Luciano Leilua, Jock Madden, Thomas Mikaele, James Roberts, Tommy Talau, James Tamou, Kelma Tuilagi, Alex Twal

Surely the club will extend someone before it's open slather?

Kepaoa is incorrect, believe he's until the end of 2023. apart from that

Garner - most likely off to Manly
Luch - should sign off on his upgrade soon
Madden - jury's out
Mikaele - probably headed to Redcliffe
Roberts - T&T
Talau - off an ACL, wait and see
Tamou - bye bye
Tuilagi - re-sign
Twal - re-sign

Good post.

I would definitely re-sign Madden, Talau and hopefully Mikaele. Garner seems to be a loyal type and is a big asset to a side lacking flair. I hope he stays.

My guess Mikaele will be a dolphin.

Talau was certainly on the up towards the end of the season, I'd re-sign him too. Madden I'm really unsure about. Mikaele was great mid-season until he was injured and then played like his old self again. I don't mind Garner but this rumour to Manly will not go away.

Good post.

Twal is solid. Tuilagi has good potential. Resign both.

I think Kepaoa will be a starting centre by the end of 2022.

Luch for the right price. I haven't seen anything in Madden to suggest he has the X-factor we desperately need in the halves.

Don't really care too much for the rest.
 
Suggestion for suggestions sake ... Brooks to Dogs, Flanagan to Knights, Klemmer to Cows, Drinkwater to Tigers. Spine of Laurie - Drinkwater - Hastings - Hodgson 🙂

Kepaoa can play. very hopeful we see him starting in the centres come Round 1.
 
Another day and nothing again from this club.... Just the norm now or course
Yet they advertise memberships for the club and expect us to join up with no signings to at least get excited about..

I'm sure it will end good and have signings by start of season but gee wiz its hard to get excited when we are the only club thats hasn't given the fans something to look forward to.. I was hoping to have a few players extended before the deadline so we don't have to pay more to keep the good ones. Anyway the powers of the club have a plan I suppose

Sheens needs to be in the country for a start. Nothing from the club about when he actually is returning if ever

To be honest if this club want to genuinely be successful, there isnt anyone on that list that will break our heart or worth breaking the bank for. IMO, in order we should prioritise....

Twal
LL
Tuilagi
TT
Mikaele
Asu
Garner
Madden.....sort out the rest

Even though the wooden spoon cabinet at Wests Ashfield is nearly full i am sure they could find a spot for it with that spine

Id only re-sign tuilagi, maybe twal out of that list

Twal ? re sign. Bloke is an absolute workhorse and turns up every week and puts in. He's no Superstar but every club needs a few Twals to do the grunt work

To me it's a stronger spine than Having Liddle and Brooks in it

It’s terrible. Thankfully it won’t happen.
 
This is what I’d like to happen:

• Swap Brooks with Luke Thompson

• Swap Liddle for Josh Hodgson

• Then throw the rest of the money at Joey Manu

My starting 13 for Round 1:
1. Laurie
2. Maumalo
3. Gildart
4. Manu
5. Noffa
6. Peachy
7. Hastings
8. Utoikamanu
9. Hodgson
10. Twal
11. Blore
12. Leilua
13. Thompson

(Doueihi & Talau out injured)

Thinking the same, but also think he'll have a breakout season next year. Looks like he's working hard in the off-season if insta is anything to go by.
