One of the issues the club definitely needs to look at is the lack of middle and edge forwards. Not sure what players Parra could target but I know Josh Papali has been told he won't be offered a contract for next season. Should parra target 1-2 older forwards and a few younger ones ? Garner + Papalli would be cheap experienced forwards, do we have enough young forwards to mix in ?

  • I'd say fast mobile guys in the Williams mould.

    Another two like him and we are set in the forwards.

    In the backs we need a speedy center plus a running 5/8th who can tackle and kick (Smith).

  • Hamish Stewart, Dragons

    Luron Patea, Panthers

    I don't know what their contract status is, but 2 very good young forwards

    • Luron Patea  contract untill 2027

      Hamish Stewart contract untill 2026 with a PO for 2027

  • Luke Garner also looks likely to be joining Parra 

  • We also need to find a player that can start the game at 9 and than move into the forward rotation. I like Ryley off the bench coming on around the 20th minute mark and than finishing the game. Hands & Lussick are both specialist 9 and hardly FG standards.
