    Can Parra keep this course and continue building to something better? The jury is still out. But at least this time around with Ryles we can see a slow change in direction. Signing promising young talent instead of old or lazy players. I reckon we're still missing a good centre and a forward or two.
    
    Also standards weren't really any better before.. You can count the number of star recruits we've had with one hand. There is a reason why apart from the 09 run, from 2008-2018 we only made the top 8 one other time..

I'd be resigning longi next until the end of 2030

i wouldn't muck around with him, he's the one they need wrap up long term.

Papali is a good back up for a fullback or in the halves.

  Agreed Iongi is a must.

Good back up but we need centre and forwards

Good news

It's great he extended. He's young and talented. Definitely worth an investment. We have to build from within. We literally don't have a choice. We're not signing Haas or Munster anytime soon.
However another player off contract in 2027? Why are we lining up players to come off contract together?

  Haven't you heard Mutters - 2027 is the next rebuild year

    Haha why not?
    
    Nothing quite like a knock down rebuild.

Another good depth signing, a handy backup.
