    How do you want the club to spend it. Upgrade who? Go after who?

    I want to hear your #1 target.

    Priority is to strengthen our backline.

        Isaah Yeo and maybe Ilias.
        1985: 1 try vs Parramatta, 1 try vs Manly, 1 try vs Wests, 2 tries vs Souffs
        1986: 2 tries vs Illawarra, 1 try vs Balmain, 2 tries vs Norths.

            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

              Ilias? We could probably get the ball boy to cut the half time oranges at a fraction of the cost.

              Still waiting for someone to nominate Schuster.

                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

                  Ilias is just to piss Souffs off even more. We could also go for Damien Cooke and crush the vermin under our heel.

                    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

                        Back the youth and only spend big if we're buying the best.

                        This is what has brought us success in the past.

                        Patience is a virtue.

                          Souffs told Ilias he can look for another club today. They would LOL@US if we took him off their hands.

                          Only Souffs player I would take is Murray to take a bench spot IF Gussy leaves.

                            I’m surprised with all the Ilias talk, can he play 5/8? because you guys do know we have the wiz kid SkyWalker!!

                              Donate to the clubs that are struggling to stay afloat and who's 1st grade team resembles a NSW Cup side.

                              I feel guilty that our stadium is so stunning when the Tigers are playing their home games at the local tip.

                              We need to be kind.
