Fogarty hands down since he's the only one currently playing nrl at a decent standard but I don't think the raiders are going to let him go considering they just lost Wighton
 
I think the next two seasons will be about transitioning to our juniors so any half needs to have experience and be able to guide the team while the juniors gain experience. A guy like Sezer with a young off the cuff type 5/8 will probably be the best way forward.
Probably only a short term deal for Sezer.
Sullivan worries me as he doesn’t seem too durable so far in his career and we need that stability over the next 2 seasons.
 
Adam Reynolds....

Now lets put this all into perspective. Its 2021. Michael Mcguire is our coach. Brooks has struggled as he has almost every year he has been with us.

Adam Reynolds wasn't on our interest list. We knew the contracts, the dates and the pressures souths are under.... Imagine this:

Adam Reynolds at 7, Luke Brooks at 6 and Doueihi at Bench - reserve lock/center?

^any of the players above dislike this, move them on.

Instead, we had no plan and no identification of weakness. We needed a hard conversation about Brooks and to work out where he can grow within the wests tigers and what we needed to grow.

So we hired Hastings, and Amazingly Hastings turned out to be a stack better then I expected. Still had we had a plan we could have:
Identified Adam Reynolds as a Halfback we wanted at our club.
Offered Adam the same money as Brisbane, but the opportunity to continue in Sydney.

We had no plan. So come 2021 Jackson Hastings becomes availablish, we sign him... We refuse to let Brooks go because WE HAVE NO PLAN! Then we punt Hastings the next year for what? The same combination that has let us down the last 10.


I want a damn plan!
