Spine positions for next year so far 1.Handley
6.Austin
7.Sinfield
9.Oconnar

That would be one of the weakest spines in the competition. Handley's not a full back, Austin's inconsistent, Sinfield's unproven and O'Connor's still learning the game. If we went with that mid-table would beckon again.

Yeah agree. Bar Austin we really need to invest there. Hooley won’t cut it, Sinfield isn't anywhere near as good as his dad, O’Connnor should be back up 9. Harsh assessment from me maybe…….would love to be proved wrong!

mid table would be optimistic...

Get two really quality players in for next year and things will be a lot better. Then maybe another for 2024 and really look to develop home grown talents like Edgell, Sinfield ( he's only 18) McCormack, and Aldridge.

Granted, forgot Sinfield was that young, so unfair of me to say that…..

We need a top class FB and half back along with a decent hard hitting forward someone like Paasi.
Surely Rohan knows an up and coming hard hitting player from the reserve league in the NRL.
The following year if Johnson doesn`t make it we need a top class hooker and centre.
So only another two and a half years to wait for the rebuild to take place.
Would that be 10 years?

Should be back competing in 4/5 years on that assumption.
