Let's go Richo ...“Our pigs aren’t even that good”…. That’s entirely my point…. That’s what needs to be priority and improved to get this team to a premiership winning level…not the backs depth
Have a look at the starting packs and the benches of the GF teams and Penrith… we are way behind ..
You have raised a lot of points here ..Im not going to debate them all ..
We got three spots left and limited funds … you need to pick and choose where to put the remaining assets …
Our starting back 5 are mid level and we got a couple left over that can provide adequate depth …maybe bring in one more depth piece as I alluded to earlier today above,,,but the focus has got to be improving the middle with a quality piece
1 - Bring in Albert Hopoate as our outside back depth (is an NRL starter at his best & covers centre, wing, fullback). His cousin Monson is coming up through our pathways.
2 - Try to pry one of Ray Stone (value) or Josh Curran a year early - high effort, fast line speed lock, strong D.
3 - One of Jack Hetherington or Lazaraus Vaalepu as a big bodied depth prop in case we have injuries. I think Benji sees our '26 prop rotation as May, Pole, Sione, Twal & a rejuvenated injury-free Hunt.
