taken from zero tackle, so players are all over the place

players i think we will lose at the end of 2018, lewis gallen and leutele

Esan Masters and Elliott Whitehead are two standouts for me, also wouldnt mind luciano leilua

ferguson, morris and scott are the choices for centre that stand out

the burgess boys and nathan brown are some others

Depending on who goes, who stays etc but i like fro fullback to winger

Cotric (world at his feet)
Brenko Lee (something about him makes me think he could be good)
Curtis Scott (to think, we are or were prepared to pay Aaron Grey on or around 400k, fmd, we could have paid this kid half or less & still would have been in front)
Javid Bowen (similar to the above)
Angus Crighton (is only gunna get better)

While on the topic, Mundine is running out for the Koori KO ATM. For what? 45? He isn't looking too out of shape. Looks about the same as JT.

Crichton or Ethan Lowe to replace Lewis.

Junior Paulo for impact off the bench.

Resign the current crop and extend youth.

Brock lamb to replace Maloney

We missed the boat with Esan Marsters a few years ago when he resigned with Tigers. He will have an awesome career. He would be a great pickup.

I'd say Crihton is top priority plus a half/5/8 who can kick goals and 40 20s

One upside of having so many injuries this year is we've had a good look at some 'depth' players in the NRL.

I don't know what's happening with Gal and Lewy next year, but let's assume they both retire this year. Do we really need to spend big to replace them or can we get by with what we have?

And if we can, we would have a bit of cap space to play with. Where would we likely spend it?

1. Re-sign Bukuya and Williams
2. Figure out if Gal is playing again
3. If he's not, sign a prop
4. Wait and see with the rest of our off contract guys (Leutele, Lee, Lewis, Segyaro, Paulo)
5. Depending on the above, maybe grab some back rowers and/or outside backs
6. Give Dillon another 1 year deal. He is OK depth and won't be expensive

I think we need to know sooner rather than later with Gal and Lewis. I know they're legends of the club but we need to plan ahead.

Not saying we should do this but remember Easts not offering Ricketson an extension? Sometimes the hard decisions need to be made one way or another.
