That would be ideal two gun wingers and an edge back rower. We would go close to making the 8 or at least competing.My take: We only need 2 or 3 signings (or juniors breaking through like Galvin this year and Bula last year) to make us a competitive top 8 side.
2025
1. Jahream Bula
2. Israel Leota
3. Sunia Turuva
4. Justin Olam
5. X-factor winger (or placeholder until Heamasi Makasini in 2026)
6. Lachlan Galvin
7. Jerone Luai
8. Stefano Utoikamanu
9. Apisai Koroisau (c)
10. David Klemmer
11. A-list backrower (Angus Crichton would be awesome but unlikely)
12. John Bateman
13. Isaiah Papali’I (lock is his position)
14. Tallyn Da Silva
15. Fonua Pole
16. Jordan Miller
17. Samuela Fainu
18. Alex Twal
19. Alex Seyfarth
20. Alex Lobb
21. Kit Laulilii (or Sione other juniors)
22. Another junior coming through
That bench has youth but intent.
