Look I'm really disappointed about Jamie leaving but we needed a winger more than him, we have heaps of utilities and he wasn't the one that should have gone but I'm glad he can go be a leader at Newcastle and hopefully play well and prove our staff wrong. Now we have Uate which gives us a very strong competitive backline if fit it will be very good. Uate while he hasn't been his best over the past years I'm happy to see him given an opportunity, it was only 2 years ago he was the best winger in the world. Give him time with an actual team around him full of stars I believe he will shine. We should have no trouble bringing the ball out of our own end either but it's the high ball we should worry about. Taufua did improve and was injured so maybe he will get better and show his true capabilities cause when he was injured he was very very good, and Uate isn't amazing under the high ball but he is better than Taufua. As for our final places in our team I'm not sure but I think Bird will sign and maybe Moa to fill the prop and backrow spots. And I think DCE has to be skipper, he's our best player and needs to have more ownership on this side, he will have Green which will take the pressure of DCE and allow him to do his stuff. Our side is very strong for 2017 and I'm beginning to think maybe we sneak into 7th on the ladder, fingers crossed we can be injury free and get a decent draw cause our team is pretty strong, up the sea eagles and if you really love our side you will re-new your membership cause not supporting this club is only going to make us go downwards, Jamie was a good player and was swapped for a former great winger but Jamie wasn't a special player he just worked hard and did his job but we shouldn't cry over losing him cause their are plenty of other players just like him out there.
