Most of the signings have been 'low hanging fruit', local players and retentions. Overseas players take time to sort out. Matt has only had the club a short time but I am sure work will be happening. After all we need to get them right, not sign the overseas rubbish that the last lot brought to the club, last season

For the overseas players, I think it makes more sense to sign them when we need them rather than in the off season when everyone is looking to fill squads so they come at a premium cost. Leave ourselves with some quota spots free and pick up players part way through the season who maybe aren't getting the game time with SL and NRL clubs, but will help us in the back half of the season if we're pushing for trophies

There is no limit on non fed player quota spots in the championship, Trinity could field all 17 overseas if wanted

Can't see Ashurst not being first pick, so...Cozza will primarily be a middle...perhaps.

Isn't it fun to be discussing positive aspects of next season?

I would suggest we may have at least another 10 or so players to come in hopefully some of them will be first 13 players.

To save you and everyone time here is the up to date list for last years trinity players remaining not confirmed.

We have 15 players confirmed now. We need at least 25-30 so I expect another 10-15 signings. Some of which I would expect a couple of real quality additions to the starting 13.

The players with stats next to see who I would keep. I don’t maybe another 1/2 of the younger ones but I haven’t seen much of them.

A big rampaging prop, some pace on the edges would be welcome.


Lineham
Battye
Proctor - confirmed elsewhere.
Tanginoa *
Kershaw *
Smith - confirmed elsewhere
Lyne
Pratt *
Law
Windrow
Franco
Salabio - confirmed elsewhere
Langi
Bowes
Whitbread - signed elsewhere
Dagger - signed elsewhere
Fifita - retired
Butterworth
Eseh - confirmed elsewhere
Roberts
Smith *

There’s a couple of props about in Ben Nakubawaii and Rhys Kennedy with also maybe Dan Smith from Fev.

A few quality signings and we could really build a squad even capable of beating most of the SL teams if we meet them in the cup this season.
