Depth chart below shows we needed Tuilagi and will need a top quality left centre- that way Simmo is a good quality depth for all positions in the backs. Still 4 spots left. I put Moretti in even though can't find him contracted anywhere. Put Matterson in the middle even though he is on the Eels site as an edge - seems to struggle with lateral movement in defence on the edge.

FB: Gutho (1)
Wing: Sivo, Russell, AMS, Dunster (4)

You are 100% right. Oates will NOT leave the Broncos.
Yes but think about it Coryn, who is going to mentor them?
100% correct Poppa.
Oates and Olam are exactly what we need.
They are better than anyone else available and are better than what we have now.
Oates is too slow. Our outside backs lack pace and Oates would be fine if you have quick centre inside him but we don't have that.
Russell is to slow as is Dunster.
Oates is better in every other aspect of the game than those two.
I'd be looking at Ben Hampton as an easy fix similar to Tom opacic
Iro is a strange one. All reports label him as the next big thing but he's going absolutely nowhere.
Perhaps there is something going on, other than football ability with this one ?
We need a tall, athletic, winger!
Like how storm has got warbrick and coates..
Yes it is Oates and we may try to get Toupo even though he is contracted, Roosters wing depth is rediculous,
Speaking of depth, could this be our NSW CUP side next year?
There looks to be a lot of talent coming through the junior ranks, I have seen a bit of Martin, Sanders, Arthur, Twidle and Lynn, they all look promising. Going on comments on other players which I haven't seen much of, I have added them to the squad. I don't know the age or eligibility of most of the players coming through. Who do we think will be the most likely to debut next year?
I really like the look of Martin and Arthur, both will play NRL.
