Not Paul Kent
Reserve Grader
Apologies - this may have some cross-over with the dead wood needs to go thread but I thought it possibly deserved its own thread.
With Tommy gone for the season it’s probably fair to say we don’t have the fire-power to win the competition this year. Perhaps we should look to the future and arrange some trade deals to strengthen our side for 2023 and beyond.
Some ideas below.
Noteworthy players either confirmed/rumoured to be moving on next year:
Dylan Walker, Marty Taupau, Kieran Foran.
Are there any clubs who would take these guys early, we could possibly use as a bargaining chip to acquire some players locked up in multi-year deals?
If I was managing Manlys roster I’d be calling Cronulla pretty quickly and proposing Walker and Taupau for Brailey and either Ramien/Tracey.
They have McInnes who is a top shelf 80 minute hooker and the headache of trying to fit three quality centres into two spots, and are lacking a utility and one impact forward which could really see them challenge for the title this year, I think this deal makes genuine sense for both clubs.
Other ideas Foran and Marty early for Tino at the GC?
Marty for Thompson with the dogs?
Apologies for another classic flyingaeaeagle Ironstein post and I accept the abuse that will likely come my way for making such a mercantile suggestion......
However, thoughts?
