I suspect Tedesco will retire end of next season. He’s losing a step, and much like cordner, friendy and keary, the concussions are starting to pile up; as well as a potential Manu/Suaalii return. As such, any signing should be looking at backline. I’d say re signing players like Sam, Gus, Toia, Whyte, Wong, Sandon, Moriarty will be where a fair chunk goes to. Throw in a mil for Manu and/or Suaalii. This would leave us with something like a mil left. I’d look at Cobbo, Staggs, Mulitalo and Hopgood

Nat will start over Egan I’d hope. For backline, Toia was considered the next big thing, and looked great on offence in Reserve Grade before his 2nd Acl. Hopefully he can make a full recovery from that both physically and mentally. Vaa is only 19/20, props tend to really showcase their skills past 21, players like Haas and Tino were the exception not the rule. We only recently resigned him which says to me the club does indeed have faith in him. I think Marky Amrk will make a successful transition, and honestly wouldn’t be too surprised if he’s picked at centre over Young. Definitely has the better ball skills and is a stronger tackler

Agree let’s hope toia makes a full recovery - it was amazing last year only started playing against men post school post acl and dominated nsw cup
let’s see how he goes
and mark N would make a better centre then young likes the defence and makes Many tackle breaks
not as quick as young either so would be better suited to centre and keep young out wide with his pace
It feels like we still have a sold squad there - especially if we keep toops and critchon on again
seems like we need a centre incase smith is injured again
and def an edge back rower - if Gus goes we certainly need an edge back rower
with the coin we have we could throw some serious coin at a game breaker
amazing the players we are loosing it doesn’t feel like we need to sign that Many new ones, I think with out depth and few young guys we have plenty there
walker and sandon smith in the halves, Watson allready cover for 14
plenty of edge backrowers and the front row is stacked with Collins/ may / Leniu and Whyte allready with Vaa around
potentially also a decent back up fullback to cover for Teddy
