Future centre pairing

Obviously we have 2 legendary centres nearing the end of their great careers, but who replaces them? We had Hiku and Gutherson pencilled in as the future paring, now both have left and there only a few quality centres coming off contract at the time Matai and Lyon are expected to announce retirement. From my point of view TB has these options.

-Shift Walker to the centres and play Tom Wright at 5/8, And only sign 1 centre
-Sign 2 new centres and leave walker at 5/8

These are the realistic centre options off contract I would target if I was manly.

2016 options
-Brenko Lee
-Curtis Rona
-Dale Copley

2017 options
-Waqa Blake
-Nene McDonald
-Dean Whare
-Jed Cartwright
-Peter Mata'utai
-Brendan Elliot
 
Panthers have had the best crop of young centres last couple years, Both Jennings brothers, Blake. They can 't play them all. Barrett is well positioned.
 
Just saying as it is Jaxy Boy from the horse's mouth

Manly didn't want him a fullback. They wanted him at either 5/8 or centre. He wanted fullback and only fullback. The club and player came to a mutual decision they he can pursue a fullback gig elsewhere. Can we please move on from Gutho? I would love for him to be here as much as you however he is doing what's best for his career and you can't blame the guy, or the club, for that.
