The positives

The positive is Uncle Nick wont like what he's seeing and will have a mini clean out and open up the cheque book.

Interesting thought! Who would he let go of ? Who would he target in place of?
I can presume the Morris twins are close to retiring at the end of the season, but they are hardly the problem. Are Lam, Ikavalu , Hutchinson next on the chopping block? Which of our forwards would you let go? Possible retirement of Friend and/or Cordner? Would you sack Liu or Butcher ( x2) ? Is Lussick a luxury and should be moved on? Who would we target ?

Exactly. Apart from Kikau, Marty Tapau, Paulo, Fifita (Titans), Yeo, Campbell-Gillard (Freddy Mercury). Tapine, Frizell and a few others we have as good as what's out there.

ACL grade 2's partial torn ACL are pretty rare- minimum 3 months recovery time depending on healing process - high risk of full tear if not fully healed.

Seems to me he had an ongoing knee problem as he came off against Manly and had a ice pack on it and against Wests Tigers he was stretching the same leg- possibly a grade 1 type knee problem and his knee just packed it in during the souffs vermin game as there was no collision or anything else that caused it - bit like when you keep stretching out a rubber band it eventually tears/breaks i suggest.

Grade 1 - ligament stretched but no tear
Grade 2 - Partial tear
Grade 3 - Full tear

Nothing extreme needs to be done, but I'm sure there are plans in place . Seems a waste to have both captains sitting on the sidelines for extended , indefinite periods of time. All others you mentioned above except for maybe Lussick and Lui would be on the list to go imo.
As for targets ??
