Both the Trbojevic boys and Gutherson need to be playing first grade from the beginning of next year. They have only signed until the year after and they will be garnering a lot of attention. They need to experience success at Manly and they will be needed to generate it.
I'm not sure how it works with Tafua, Hiku, Stewart, Lyon and Mata but it needs to happen.
Maybe Tafua and Hiku can be moved into the forwards to accommodate the kids coming through or maybe Lyon and Stewart start thinking about retirement or moving on.
I'm starting to doubt Cornish has anything more to offer than a JLJ.
