With so many players coming off contract next year and doubts over the wriggle room in our cap we have to be smart in our re-signing and recruitment. We need to have as many of the top 25 as possible on minimum wage and build the team around a good spine, this is what the Storm have done for many years with consistent success.
If you haven't played fg for 2 years then maybe you never will. We need to move players on with no or little prospect of playing fg to make way for any quality juniors coming thru. Out of our list of off contract players I would re-sign Cornish, Norman, Tuha,Tanginoa, Fuimaono, Toutai, King, Schulte, Ualesi and Woods with Wicks and Tanginoa as maybes. Need to recruit 1 or 2 good young big props.
Possible dream team list for next year
