If you were BA, what would you do with the rest of 16?

So where to from here? The season is gone. Our list is a mess. We have moved on from plan A and plan B and are now on Plan C. If you were BA, what would you do for the rest of this year?I would build for 2017. First up we need to decide if we want Hayne in our team in 17. I don't think we can afford him and Foran on similar money. So our spine is going to have to be Gutherson, Norman, Foran and Pritchard. Get KP and Gutho playing at 9 and 1 now.Next we need a damaging prop. The loss of Junior hurts us. I have no clear idea how to solve this puzzle - Tampi? Thoughts?

  • Tampi should be Tamou ... Bloody predictive text. Maybe we need to move on Mannah to get Tamou. I love Mannah to death but he doesn't break the line.
    We won't have much cash (and with Jenko) left after this so it is going to have to be mainly a youth policy. Tepai, Edwards, Scott are must keeps in the pack. Semi and Takas are a lock.
  • I would build for 2031.
  • If BA is into Plan C or even Plan D, isn't that the point where you ask whether there are some up and comers that you might have ear-marked for latter part of 2017 debuts who could get a run now? French probably matches that category. Also, we need to sort out our hooker situation. Overall, if we are not in the cap situation to recruit too much, isn't this the chance to bring forward internal promotion and development?
  • 1 Sign Hayne

    2 Keep Semi

    3 Keep Jennings

    4 Keep Taka

    5 Keep French

    6 Keep Norman ( or get Hastings for cheap)

    7 Keep Foran

    8 Keep Mannah

    9 Find a deceant hooker (Pritchard is not the answer)

    10 Get a good go forward prop ( Tamou or Vaughn from raiders would be nice)

    11 Keep Scott

    12 Keep Mau

    13 Keep Moeroa

    14 Alvaro

    15 Edwards

    16 Wicks

    17 Get Fenson from raiders.

    If we keep loosing players we will be back chasing the spoon next year and we must at all cost keep BA.

    • Wouldn't get Fensom/ Vaughan or Moa
    • Wouldn't even get Hayne so we can add depth to the squad

    • The answer is easy but difficult in reality.

      Too many power hungry people whose personal interests are way above the success of the club.

      As for BA, what can be said that hasn't already been said?

      Imagine the club/team if picked up stakes and left? *shudders*

  • If I was BA I would just inject juniors to first grade and give them a feel of how it is on a weekly basis. I wouldn't go for Hayne but buy some good props, a hooker and 2 outside backs. I also would keep Norman long term and try get Hastings
  • If we want Jarryd we must lose Norman
  • Blood as many youngsters as possible
