Spencer and Ricky as a minimum.My take on the latest @THE_POM update:
- Good news on those juniors signed up. If we can add Solomone Saukuru & Lachlan Galvin out of our Harold Matts, that would be fantastic. I would think Solomone would stay with his brothers & dad at the club.
- I wonder whether The POM means Jahream Bula (rather than CJ Mundine). Mundine has showed little from what I have seen unless he wows them on the training paddock. Bula is a good talent with some exciting athletic attributes.
- Our priority should be the extensions for Hastings & Offa first which is what the club is working on.
- Doueihi is rolling the dice. If he dishes up more of last week, I can only see his value staying the same or dropping. I know the Club wants to invest in our own but if we can GO HARD for and land Dylan Brown for 2024, that would be a game changer. I honestly think we'd be able to offer Brown the most $$$, his desire to stay in western Sydney and with his relationship with Benji, we are the only threat to the Eels.
- Crossland would be a good backup halfback (instead of Madden) in case of injury to Brooks. Some forum members think it would be terrible but these are the players you need in a squad. Low cost, backup & position specialists.
- I hope we still go for John Bateman and try to get this done asap. Maybe a Peachey, Liddle or another we would like to release could come into the negotiations for Wigan.
- If not Bateman, I'd get Jack Murchie. If it's Murchie, I'd still go for Liam Martin or Teig Wilton for 2024.
- Depending on what Sheens wants or knows he's going to get for our backrow, I don't think we'd go for Charlie Staines if it would jeopardise getting Liam Martin.
- I would be confident Spencer Leniu is on our hitlist depending on his price tag. Otherwise possibly Toafofoa Sipley or our own Aitasi James (he should be a T&T in offseason in my opinion).
- Ricky Leutele from Super League, is an experienced powerful centre who would be on our radar.
- I personally think sanity will prevail & Tumeth will re-sign. Best for his career in my opinion.
This development ethos sounds great, but unless we can recruit marquee and developing marquee from other clubs, we will struggle.
