Hoffman?

not needed here. funny today listening to 2 old souths nuts talking in the pub about last Friday nights game, they firstly conceded that pearce is faster than anyone in their team then went on to say I think mini in his day must have been the best fullback ever! we of course know he was, I didn't disagree with them!

For sure...
We'll be the same team too, just with a gun new FB, a gun new winger/centre and SBW's replacement able to take full ownership of the #12 jersey. Add to that some competition for the captainship (with a new captain out there to prove himself) and some new tactics that take into account the new skills we'll have onboard.

If we're more consistent than this year then we'll be minor premiers. If Souffs win then the refs will stop showing sympathy towards Souffs, the target will be on their head and we'll be able to sneak in as underdogs if we play our cards right.

I just feel we are one experienced forward short. I know that Napa and Evans are progressing, but with casty gone, we may run out of front rowers during the season, especially with JWH's trips to the judiciary. Are there many in the 20s ready to make the step up next season?

Yes Davos, i've been impressed with young Braeden Uale for a few years. He's worth investing time with especially at NSW Cup level to see how he transitions.
Also looking forward to backrower Vincent Leilua tasting some 1st grade possibly in the trials. Hopefully he recovers well from ankle surgery.

Direct swap for FPN?

We don't need Hoffman.
Let's just give them FPN.
