You can add Harper to that list. He won't be here next year from all reports.

But to answer your question, we need another prop in the AFB mould. Unfortunately, you can't just pick them up at your local supermarket. So Paseka is going to have to be that beast. Partnering Lodge.

Nathan Cleary and his dad Ivan would a good start and work your way down from there.

 

[XV-1]

Some prop forwards who run
as fast as they can
as powerful as they can
And all day long from long run ups

Like Leota and Fischer Harris.


Haumole could take a leaf out of their books and take a run up.

Goes to show that you shouldn't take shortcuts - like getting your haircut with a lawnmower

AFB
Koroisau/ M. Fainu
Taupau
Thompson
Sironen /Lane
Jake T.

We need a decent coach too. Even with that pack we still weren't able to manufacture a title.

We were robbed in that semi against South's, not to mention that we also lost Turbo for the rest of the season

True. Although we still would have lost against Penrith imo.

Our backrow is better now than it was then in my opinion. I also think what Paseka/Lodge showed this year is better than Taupau.

The big drop off is hooker and AFB, who is an elite front rower.

I didn’t include Harper as his off contract. The other players have contracts. Rumor has it they are free to leave if they get a new contract.
Harper might be at parra next year.

Put an offer in for Mam and drive his price up for the Donkeys

Penrith didn't make the finals that year, it would have been us against Canberra and the winner plays The Roosters in the GF. Would have been hard pressed against the Roosters, but Canberra was certainly doable.

 

[Brocky]

Can we bring Ivan Cleary home??

Bulldogs will do that

Lol..that's what Gus does.

 

[robbiea]

For us to win ,we need to buy Penrith team.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Can we bring Ivan Cleary home??

Sure, I imagine his asking price is about $2m per season, maybe more, to drag him away from Penrith. And a big say in the club’s structures and how the organisation is run.

Happy to take Liam Martin and Yeo....amd then Leota if we have the cap space
