Signing predictions !

If you can only name one player who you think will be most likely coming to Parramatta for 2027, who will it be ?

Whether you truly have inside info or just an educated guess, it doesn't matter. The whole excersize of this blog is to create some positivity, as I really think there'll be at least two decent signing for 27.

Now please don't turn this blog into a negative R & R discussion, as we should have the cash to make these signings happen. We should have upwards of 1.5 - 2 million dollars to spend you'd have to think.

Just name 1 or maximum 2 potential signings

Players off contract

Paulo 950k

Matterson 650k

Walker 400k

Russell 350k

Pezet 400k

Debelin 250k

W Penasini 500k ???

Signings

Jaydn Su'a. 650k

    Yeah that's why I suggested those two. I can see Walker, even Paulo, plus Pryke, Mataele, Lokeni, all leave end of year. Maybe we keep 1 or 2 as depth. So that means Koina/Talagi/Jezaiah get another year in cup but be next man up. Still leaves us short in the NRL, and that's where Ford/Fotuaika come in. How I envision the pack 2027:
    
    NRL:
    
    8. Ford/Fotuaika
    
    9. Smith
    
    10. Hopgood
    
    11. Su'A
    
    12. Kautoga
    
    13. Paulo
    
    14. Da Silva
    
    15. Tuivati
    
    16. Doorey
    
    17. Williams
    
    ---
    
    Cup:
    
    8. Pryke/Lokeni
    
    9. Edwards
    
    10. Teancum
    
    11. Latu
    
    12. Jezaiah
    
    13. Guymer
    
    14. Coinakis
    
    15. Talagi
    
    16. Koina
    
    17. Petrus

    That strikes as two very competent packs with variety of sizes and energy. I left out Moretti as I haven't been impressed too much with him but him and young Jack Hudson as further 9 cover can complement the set of options.

      Well Yehaz i do think there is a chance a player or two does leave from our top 30 before Round 1. Could Moretti be one of them?
      
      I think ideally Talagi would be starting in Cup next year. Hopefully is pushing to start end of this year but Ryda does become one that is like Brown this year, on the cusp just waiting for that chance.
      
      But i reckon Pryke is the one that stays out of him or Mataele. I also do reckon Brown has a chance to cement a spot in the 17, Williams on an edge and maybe Kautoga odd man out. I am curious to see if he walks straight back into the 13. He more likely will to bring Guymer back to the bench but he was hooked in his last match.
