How many do you count?

This was our top 25 squad for 2014.

http://www.parraeels.com.au/team/player-profiles.html

How many of them would you cut from the list to be replaced in the top 25 with our new signings?

My number is 7. (Allgood, Hunt, Kelly, Morgan, Mossop (gone anyway) Joseph Paulo (I can only dream) Toutai)

2015 Gains: Beau Champion (South Sydney Rabbitohs, 2015), Ben Crooks (Hull FC, 2016), Richie Fa'aoso (2015), Shannan McPherson (Salford Red Devils, 2015), Cody Nelson (Gold Coast Titans, 2016), Reece Robinson (Canberra Raiders, 2015), Brad Takairangi (Gold Coast Titans, 2015), Anthony Watmough (Manly Sea Eagles, 2018), Danny Wicks (2015)
 
* Tepai Moeroa was not in our top 25 for 2014.

  •  Joseph Paulo (first by a mile), Allgood, Kelly, Toutai, Morgan, Faraimo, Terepo and Lussick. At least 8.

  • LMFAO - top 25 only has 22 in it.

    Adds = Champion, Ticky Tacky, Robinson, Wotty Wott, Moeroa, Fa'aoso, Wicks.

    Possible = Crooks

    Deletes = Norman, Hunt, Crabman and looks like Mossop and Allgood is gone.

    I am not the coach, and not privy to what goes on in BA's head, but personally I would not be punting Allgood

    • Hahahah! Looks like Bert can't even get the count right for the blog!

      Loko, Sio, Smith, Tonga, Tanginoa, Hayne all been pulled down.

  • Doesn't each team have to submit to the NRL who their top 25 squad is for salary cap reasons?

    That was my understanding, could be wrong but you can list as many players on the website you like who is in your overall squad. Hence why we had 30.

  • In his first couple of games I thought the same Michael, but he didn't improve any and the last few games I didn't think he offered anything and other juniors might offer more. Was not impressed with his over all form and what he offered.

  • Terepo runs hard then looiks as though hes hit bg a brick wall.

  • The only fair way to respond to this blog is if we knew the pay packet each player was getting. It's to easy to say, "player A is no good, and player B is a keeper", when we don't know how much they are taking from the cap. Mitch Allgood is a perfect example. Every club needs back-up forwards and if Mitch is on minimum money, he is a good value for money 5th or 6th string front rower. If Mitch is on $100,000 plus, he would be out the door.
  • I agree totally. Don't get me wrong here, I have no wrap on Allgood as a player, I just used him as my example. All I'm saying is, it's unfair to judge any player, ( whilst we have a salary cap ) without knowing how much of the cap they are taking.
  • I think he is heavier than you think about 105kg imo. FFMM was only about 108kg as he is not very tall.
