Obviously fullback is the main position needing filling. We could do a lot worst than signing Gordon for a year. (who kicked 8 from 9 on the weekend).
I'd like to see Marsters have a couple of NRL games at centre, at some point in the 2017 season. He is currently player there in ISC, so there coaching staff obviously think he has potential there. If he makes a good go of it, play him there in 2018.

I'd like a few depth props to be signed and an impact 2nd rower.

1\. **Gordon**
2\. Nofoaluma
3\. Suli
4\. **Marsters**
5\. Watene-Zelezniak
6\. Reynolds
7\. Brooks

13\. Taylor
12\. McQueen
11\. Lawrence
10\. Matulino
9\. **Matt McIlwrick**
8\. Packer

14\. **PAASI, Agnatius**
15\. **COREY HARAWIRA-NAERA**
16\. Felise
17\. Liddle

18\. Chee-Kam
19\. Gamble
20\. Twal
21\. Eastwood
22\. Sue
23\. **Edwards**
24\. Aloiai

Marsters as cover but we really need a experienced center and wing to finish off our back line.

Aaron Gray or Will Hopoate in the backs and Aidan Guerra and Brenton Lawrence up front. Would make us look much more formidable.
 
Tigers should target NICK KOTRIC from Canberra for 2019 hes contracted until 2018 Vossie made a comment saying he a great winger but a better fullback.Probably on wingers money at Raiders should go after him hard . Gordon for 1 year then Kotric for 4 years, only young , but heaps of promise.

Agreed. So there is still 8-10 new signings to come. There's also an extra 1-mill in the salary cap when we are not paying Farah and Sironen next year.

Farah's and Siro's money has always been taken into our calculations.

He's from Cooma so it may be difficult to get him to come to Sydney but he is a fine talent. The Raiders wanted both Cotric and Suli in the backline.

Most of those "Losses" should be called a gain to the club.

the incoming list really is better than the outgoings

And there's still more to come. Here's hoping that we don't begin panic buying and wait until teams are forced to squeeze some of their cherished players out (cap restraints) then we could really have a team on our hands.

Promising times ahead
 
i know this will get a BIG no from some on here, they will start the, HES A GRUB, but if we are to build a pack that others fear, this is the backrower we need for 1-2 years. GREG BIRD, watched him play for catelans dragons, he still runs hard and hits hard too. if we are fair dinkum he is what are pack needs.

Yep I would take him.
And he would still be very motivated to show few people were wrong.
Real ball playing back rower/lock and great tackle method.

No way from me the situation where his gf got "glassed" and he tried to get his mate take blame was disgusting
