At the start of the year, Iongi was rated by many as the best fullback yet to play NRL. So after another year of development, I am confident he will be solid in the NRL. Thankfully with Moses and DB, it will give Iongi time to settle in the fullback spot without the responsibility of producing magic in attack. Needs to focus on just the basics. Communicating the defensive line, safe under the high ball and using his footwork and explosiveness to ice of any opportunities created by offloads or our halves.

Get Brailey and that chase hard for Munro. Stonestreet and Wilson are good options too
Also a lot of faith in Iongi. I hope he has what it takes.

Have lomax as a backup
We have 5 spots to fill, think that money is used to get quality pieces to make us competitive faster.
Who do we go after LB?Â
