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 ?

Tino. He doesnt look happy at the titans. I feel he will go Perth but I would be chasing him hard. He would have a connection with JR from his time at the Storm.
That'd be nice. Certainly a pipe dream. However with Mal setting up camp in WA I can see him going there should he leave Titans as you say . He's also very close with Justin Holbrook , however Tino did knock uncle Nick back once already so that may have severed that tie .
Id be happy if we paid whatever it took to get Tino. It'd be a statement signing . Him and Fifita.
Tino on 1M-1.2M is fine because Paulo will be gone soon as well or on a reduced contract as an impact sub post 2026.
I don't think JR will be interested in Fifita. I recon he will back the current players and juniors to develop more or move Williams to backrow.
Not so sure Tino would want to play under Mal. The Titans have been trying to get rid of Meninga for the last 2yrs. I would chase hard for Tino, and grab his brother Isaac to sweeten the deal. Throw Fifita in their as well, you could probably pick the 3 up for around 2mil, our problems would be solved.
If he wants out of there badly enough , he's going to still have familiarity with Mal , as well as potentially a captaincy and to go down as the new clubs first ever NRL captain. Mals also a QLD superhero.
We have his old assistant for 5 minutes and we couldn't entice Galvin to move 25kms up the road neverlone a proud QLDer to move into the anus of Sydney . Perths very neutral , infact with Mal there it may as well be QLD.
Perth
or Parra
The Warriors are stacked for forwards, Ford, Clark, Capewell, Halasima, Vaimauga, Barnett, Afoa, Laban, Niukore, throw some money at one of these, who knows one of them might jump ship. There are a lot of mouths to feed at the Warriors and any one of these players will add something to the Eels pack.
Even dogs are going to be stacked. Those are the 2 clubs I would raid. Plus Mooney at the raiders.
There'll be a Curran on the radar soon
Foketi from the roosters. Absolute jet, can't teach what he's got, he's a modern day forward.
fifita - obviously, think for around 500 or so he's definetly worth it.
should throw the book at haas, but only a 4-5 year deal
