"Matt Burton is my long term 6 LB. Then you are looking at Premierships. He's the seat that Pezet is warming ( I think that's the real reason they only wanted Pezet for the year?)

They've done well considering they've only been a club for a few months. And managed to sign some quality players although they're on the other side of the country, and players face an 8.5 hr flight round trip for each away match
They will struggle hard for the first few years until They align themselves with a strong feeder base. The Dolphins are had success because it was the next wave of players coming through that have stood up. As soon as this team gets some injuries their depth will be tested.
Very average spine thus far. Above average to goodish players only in Meaney, Wishart and Sexton.
Having said that overall our 2027 spine ain't great either: Iongi (very good), TBA (bad), Moses (very good), Smith/TDS (currently goodish but potentially very good).
Still rather have ours.
By 2027 our spine will be absolutely humming. Iongi will be nudging QLD selection, Smith and TDS will be the sharpest hooker combination in the comp, and Moses will be even better than what he is now.
The biggest unknown is on the 5/8 role, and we may see either Papalii or Lorenzo fill that gap. Either way the other guys will have a few years under their belt and can cover those guys.
I hear what you're saying, but I don't want a player in FG that needs to be 'covered'. That will detract from the others own performance. We've already seen that happen. Moses tries too hard to do everything. It doesn't work.
The 5/8 ( whomever that is) needs to stand on their own feet, not be covered by others.
Wonder what happens in 2027 if Joash doesn't work out at the 6 jersey and Lorenzo is not ready yet? We've seen multiple players with well known names as young kids doing good things then don't translate to NRL. What would we do then as Moses only has a couple years left? Would we sign or just keep developing? Of course I hope it works out but we would have to be prepared for these things
I totally agree, and just to be clear, I would have preferred us keep Pezet for a long-term contract.
But this is what's coming, so hopefully Papalii or Lorenzo workout as Ryles plans.
That is actually a very average spine. There's no Katoa type for them to get like Dolphins did and build around them. Sexton is a place holder. Wishart will be 9 unless they cannot get a 6.
Not too impressive at the moment but it is unfair to compare to Dolphins where their location is more attractive
Anyone else enjoying watching the Storm get raided, or is that just me?
Bellamy will have to make the call this year to stay for another rebuild or leave it to someone else to take over.
I think we all know which way Bellamy would go. He wouldn't want to stay to rebuild. I have said and just a feeling, he is going all out for this year to go out on a high. Then in 2027 he moves into a back room role out of the limelight.
I mean Munster, Grant and Hughes will keep them afloat for a few years but whoever takes over whether Slater or someone in house will have a decent squad to start but have work for a reboot.
