Some pretty good analysis there guys.
For me there is still a huge risk in signing a prop to a massive contract who has produced one great season, I need to see it for more than one year to be convinced I'm afraid. If the rumoured figures floating around re Fifita are true my preference would still be to sign a gun back and a half. I guess the question is who would those players be? I'd like us to make a huge push for someone like a Sezer who I believe is off contract at the end of 2015 rather than pay a prop huge money. Get into him now.
but it's not like a barba , sandow, Blair , t rex and dave taylor saga. What fifita has done I havnt seen ever!! There is older guys on here who might have,he combines speed, strength and skill
blair came from the best coached side and proved he isnt the goods without people around him
sandow I believe too much hype from the get go and same goes for dave taylor
t rex well I think he is complete rubbish in order for him to break a tackle he has to come to a stand still and kill his momentum
barba well he was good in broken play once teams got over tryna smash him and chased in a line he couldnt do much
fifita has played his style for us all year, in origin and for his country the guy is a beast! We can afford the most damaging front rower and one of the best halves mixed with a few other great players
we have bought way to much above average forwards of late and the latest and most unnecessary was prior
The way i look at it, you want 1 forward 1 half and 1 back to build your team around. We have our forward in Fifita, we have our half in Carney now we just need that strike back
Stapo, just neads time
l agree snow.You could add Paul Simona in there when he has recovered.agree, i have already touched on that.
succession planning now is simple
gordon - > holmes
grothe/ryan -> gagan
robson -> stowers/clarke/flanagan - pick the best
lewis -> sopoaga, although he will be in the team anyway
heino -> massima
gallen -> cant replace him, but can find a decent player to get him in
morris - > lichaa
de gois - > brown
add to the fact that guys like robinson, d.fifita, roqica and co would stay on for good cheap depth. maybe d. fifita a bit more to keep his brother.

he's shown what he can do and what he can do is ****. He will never be an NRL standard winger.
They already stole millsy off us...Maybe we shoulda sent him to broncos. He always kills it in Broncos games. Would be in origin discussions
