I don’t think we need both, unless Dale has an early retirement which isn’t happening.
I reckon there would be room for both if we aren’t re-signing Fifita, Graham and Tolman

We lacked speed, size and punch yesterday and they both add that to our bench/pack. I don’t know if we could afford them both though.

How much are you prepared to pay Matterson for a bench spot?

Yeah I don’t really know to be honest. Not sure what he would be currently worth now.

Would have to depend on our cap space and who we have. But no way would I want to go break the bank and spend something like $700k on him.

We really need some depth through the backs, I'd be looking there before I spent too big on another forward.

agreed, there are some star players in nsw cup we should be all over in the forwards and backs
Think by next season Iro could be really banging on the door for an NRL start if he keeps going well this season and has a good preseason with NRL squad

That's a lot of money sitting on the bench.

Not the whole basis of the conversation but we definitely have a smallish pack. Especially with a BHU out.
Kaufusi actually helps with that a lot. If one of Hazelton or Pele can stay in the NRL conversation for next year it gives us another big body to call on too.

Ordered by weight

Pele 191cm 120kg
Hamlin-Uele 191cm 115kg
Kaufusi 199cm 114kg
Hazelton 198cm 114kg
Hunt 192cm 112kg
Vaughan 193cm 110kg
Matterson 194cm 107kg

Rudolf 190cm 106kg
Finucane 188cm 102kg
Tolman 183cm 102kg
Williams 184cm 98kg
McInnes 177cm 91kg

Martin & Calquhoun don't have the numbers on

Hunt surprisingly light but is a little shorter than the other 110+ guys and also doesn't carry much body fat.

Even if you let Pele go and don't top 30 Hazelton I think (factoring in expense) Vaughan and Matterson is gunna be surplus. Probably can't re-sign Williams either not that I think most would currently care too much (especially if it brought in Vaughan or Matterson).

A Rudolf BHU Finucane (Hunt Kaufusi Williams McInnes) starters (bench) situation keeps decent size on at all times. Could play around with starting Rudolf off, Hunt/Kaufusi on to suit match ups.

Opacic from parra would be a good depth signing for centre IMO. Cheap and can do a job.

Yeah. He’s become a decent player after a rough few years. Fair chance he goes to the Dolphins though I reckon. Is a Redcliffe junior and has history with Bennett.

Burton or Dylan Brown would complete us in 2024 IMO. Would really give that kind of spine to carry any willing squad of players
