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 ?

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.
All thee young ones are locked up Layben and Halasima just signed 4 yr extensions a month ago.
Nuikore went home for a reason he's not accepting less to come back.
Clarks locked up
Barnett maybe down the track
Vaimaga will stay the warriors aren't letting there young core go.
Capewell is exactly what we need a left edge experienced player 💯 if you could get anyone with a new half you need that experience would be invaluable.
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
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.
