I'd be willing to bet last years wage increase on us not signing an NRL halfback in the next 5 years.As for replacements, it's always hard to work out who is a replacement for whom as we are all shooting in the dark with regards to wages.
For example was Manu signed on cap space left over from when Eastmond and Graham left??? We were looking at Hill / Griffin and both fell through. I think we may have signed Flanaghan after that but I can't see him taking the same wage as Griffin, but then again speculation.
Dixon and Manu are 2 second rowers on the move this year, so you could replace with 2 second rowers, but I can't see the need personally as we have plenty in the back row.
For mine the signing of Warmsley is the prop we needed left over from last year and Manu is a replacement for Flannery and Dixon.
To me the pack looks quite well spread but there could still be movement if a player wants out. In which case if a player wants out, I'd be happy to have another prop or backrower come in, but really the halves I think we can all agree is where our focus needs to be.
