I dunno about anyone here but these next few seasons personally I feel are going to be a rebuilding phase. Sure we can compete however, looking at the squad now and us being one of the oldest teams is making me feel this way.
The Morris' to me seem like this will probably be their last season.
Cordner is unfortunately in a situation where another concussion or 2 means is career is over.
JWH seems to have lingering injuries that impact his consistency on the field.
Friend seems to cope a new long term injury every year.
Sure we can still complete however we should be looking to bleed the youth in knowing how old the team is. I'm not denying that the team can still compete however, these older players have these issues impacting consistency.
These next few seasons to me seem like a rebuild might be in place depending on the status of these older players. The likes of Billy Smith, Suualli, Sitilli, Walker, Collins, Verills and other youngsters need to be bleed through over these next 2-3 seasons. I foresee 1-3 Cronk/Keary/Tedesco type signings to compliment these younger players alongside Tedesco, Rads, Manu and Keary.
As a Roosters fan I hope for the best and obviously want the club to be winning Premierships but I believe that we need to understand that if we don't win these Premierships, then we might have to take these seasons as rebuilds as we slowly bleed in these younger players while letting these older players move on.
