As of yesterday the market for the 2019 season is open there are plenty of good players on the market and i think we should strike early to secure our squad. Imo our squad is 1 or 2 signings away from being a force in the league. The 2 positions we need to fill are a hooker & forward. also another decent second rower would be nice with Scott most likely retiring next year. My ideal 3 signings who i believe would suit BA's style and the squad well are Jake Granville, Shannon Boyd & Jayden Su'a.Granville & Boyd are unlikely but i believe we have plenty of cap room atm. (however that may go up a lot if Hayne signs). Im not to sure how much space we do have but id say its close to 1m-1.5m so i say offer Granville 600k, Boyd 600k & Su'a 250k. I think Granville is highly unlikely to leave Cowboys but i believe hes the best hooker available atm. Smith, Friend, Farah & Luke are all decent hookers but they have are past their prime and would be hard to build a squad around as they only have 1-3 seasons left in them. Boyd is also unlikely to leave Canberra as he is a local but i believe the deals were offering are good money. Su'a is a young guy who i rate highly and he is a chance of leaving Brisbane however with Thaiday a chance of retiring at the end of the year he might get a neat contract extension. What do u guys think? can we lure these players to parra? are they the right players for the club? would we win a premiership with that squad?.

I doubt we could plan that far ahead.
yeahi we have 2 straight up hookers and a utility who can play hooker im pretty certain our spine is set for the next few years as long as they can stay healthy we have 3 players too who can play 6 in norman smith and gutho if need be same with fullback we have three maybe 4 players who can play there in french gutho and smith and that bloke from our under 20s playing for Lebanon same with hooker in smith king and kaysa and if moses gets injured norman can shift to 7 then smith into the halves or if smith is injured put gutho in 6 slot french at 1 or if gutho gets injured too put i think his name is layoun in 6 cos he plays there too
our spine is very well covered we dont need another fullback we dont need another hooker we dont need another half we need front rowers and soon maybe some second rowers also actually maybe an outside back or two probably only one if that greg bloke from our under 20s fills his potential
