I would like to see Billy Britian take up one of the 27-30 spots as i think he would be a great back up hooker to Mahoney.
As for the other spots i am really not too sure. Maybe we could resign Terepo for an experienced backup if the price is right. Otherwise i am not too sure.
Also what is everyone's thoughts about the number 14 position. Should we promote salmon, possibly resign takarangi or now that we have matterson is that position able to be filled by a forward, either kahfusi or utikomani.
Who else fills the last spots on the roster and if you are up to date with the junior programm who do you believe will be the 5 development players.

sorry 5. should be fergo not sivo although another sivo would be nice !!
Lachlan Timm is a possible 27-30 player. He had a great season for the dragons reserve grade team, toped alot of the forward stats for the canterbury cup and i believe he is off contract
Nice top 13, I'd like to see Utoikamanu, Evans, Kaufusi and Niukore as our reserves with Stone just missing out. If Matterson joins Parramatta then no problem having 2 front rowers and 2 back rowers on the bench. The pack looks strong with 4 big bodied front rowers.
I think Stone will have a big off season and be great off our bench and cleans up his game. I have evans, Stone, Stefano, Niukore for my bench.
Yeah, given his game time this year, Stone is probably more of a chance getting a bench spot over Kaufusi. Stones has got the mongrel in him to be a great sub.
I think we all would love to see Utoikamanu in the 17, a lot of anticipation and excitement around him and seems that we would get more impact from him rather than Alvaro.
Yeah as Matterson comes in that free us up to have someone like Stefano in rather than a "workhorse" like Alvaro
thanks for that poppa, what are your thoughts otherwise
I read on social media that Gower has been re-signed for another season.
I think that Terepo may be one to miss out. When you look at that list there is not a lot of room to move. There will be a lot of competition among the forwards for spots in the 17.
I think Evans will start and Alvaro will be in the 17 when the season kicks off
I am not sure about resigning Davey. He was unable to force his way into the 17 this season. It will only get harder in 2020. I think that the money would be better spent on a promising junior. Gower likely got the spot that Davey was after.
You only have 25 names there.
I think we are short one experienced back up centre, if Mennings and Blake go down I would be worried with both Salmon and Parry in the side, Hymel Hunt comes to mind unless Taka is re-signed for this reason only.
