JR has already mentioned they aren't interested in signing Xerri.
The top of my hit list would be Bradman Best he's off contract next year I'd be having a red hot crack at him left centre is a must now Russell has decided to move on.He won't be cheap and we'd have to over pay and take your pick at a front rower to get top tier guys to come to Parra your paying upwards of 850 K lus dependent where they are on the totem pole.
If we want the mid tier your looking at Pole from the Tigers as one I'd be investigating he's slipped down the totem pole and Lindsay Smith from Riff I like the look of him he leads from the front has a huge motor on him.

If i'm ryles throw that big check and go get Cleary to pair with moses. Because by the time Cleary is free our players right now will be ready to peak. Thats who i' throw all my cash too.
We currently have 28 players on a top 30 contract. Off those players the following are injured:
Richard Penisini
Will Penisini
Jordan Samrani
Isaiah Iongi
Matt Doorey
J'Maine Hopgood
Ryan Matterson
Tago (knocked out in nsw cup tonight)
So we only have 20 players from our top 30 available next week. This is a joke. Guymer did not play the second half of NSW Cup either so not sure if it is injury or resting. Lorenzo is on dev contract but he is injured too now.
So essentially we have two first graders out Iongi and Penasini. The Tigers will destroy us without Luai and Adam Douhie on one.leg

So much for Ryles squad aye chief are you beginning to realise where Parra is at right now and has been around development recruitment & retention.I tried to echo this to you years ago and many others about the off park footy mess that is Parra but was shouted down and ignored now under a new coach we are still much the same same but I guess some of you can't see the grass through the trees until someone hammers the nail into your head 😂
How much rope are you giving JR until you hang him aswell chief 😂
"LB you must admit the club was using Reserve Grade for the wrong purpose under Brad Arthur and he had a severe reluctance to give young players a chance."

HELP!!!!!!!
Lorenzo apparently is only HIA
Richard Penasini not a first grader
Samrami wasn't in anyone's top 17
Doorey wasn't in many people's top 17
Matterson you are kidding
Tago. Ffs. Hes not even reserve grade standard
Hopgood isn't a prop. Bench at most clubs.

Popcorn at the ready.
Ive never said retention and recruitment was acceptable.
Bush arthur was a massive problem also. Promoting his sons ahead of other jnrs was the last straw with the bush coach
Tago is on a train and trial after his development contract lapsed last year
