[Kelby]

2024 possible side

1. Tedesco (C)
2. Toops
3. Suaalii
4. Manu
5. Young
6. Keary
7. Sandon Smith/Walker
8. Collins
9. Brandon Smith
10. Leniu
11. Crichton
12. N Butcher (V/C)
13. Radley

14. Walker/Sandon Smith
15. E Butcher
16. Sitili
17. JWH (V/C)
18.Hutchinator
19. Billy Smith
20.Whyte
21.Wong
22. Murphy


No Idea if Turpin/Watson/Brown/Pauga/Allan and even the Hutchinator will be re-signed - surely the Hutchinator will be re-signed

So 2024, we have Suaalii in the centres still?

Hunt is the only one who (might) be available who would be worth spilling the cheque book open for imo.

Having said that, I can't see it happening.

I'd still prefer to see a Keary/Walker combo for next year. I think in the off season they, and the brains trust, will be determined to develop a strategy where they can work really well together.

I'd like to see Sandon Smith as permanent no.14 in 2024, coming into the halves permanently in 2025 when I expect Keary will retire.

Turpin is a must keep, he will only get better and should be our starting 9. Cheese to bulk up and move into the 13.

1. Teddy
2. Toops
3. (Perhaps Pauga or Toia? Unsure, but i'm not a fan of any of our other existing options)
4. Manu
5. Young
6. Keary
7. Walker (i'm predicting he just needs a 3-4 run of good games, and with confidence high he'll subsequently kill it)
8. Collins
9. Turpin
10. N Butcher (bulked up a bit more)
11. Crichton (will be much better rested, and mentally well)
12. Sitili
13. Smith (Cheese)

14. Smith (Sandon)
15. Radley
16. Brown / Whyte / Wong
17. JWH

I cant find room for Suallii, E Butcher, Hutchison, Allan, May, Smith (Billy), Momo. I am presuming we'll find a way to let Suallii go on his way, otherwise i'm certain the club will have him at centre next year.

Still concerned about the lack of good leadership talent in the squad. I like Teddy a lot as a player, but not sold on his captaincy nowdays. I think Keary is a bit too aloof for the job. N Butcher & JWH as dual captains perhaps?

I will be very surprised if Crichton and Suallii are on the books in 2024.

Starting pack is a bit on the small side King. BB is watching.

Hutch won't be resigned if the 'clean out' mail is right.

Nooooooooooooooooooo - He's Robbo New Aubo - Robbo will earn my wrath if the Hutchinator is not re-signed

Fortunately you in particular and folk like you will never have any say in who is picked to play for the Roosters.

Fortunately, none of us do. Imagine how many players would be arbitrarily sacked after one or two bad games if the Pen had any say.

Should target Liam Ison thr fullback from Penrith Jersey Flegg looks like a gun.
