Now for a more accurate list for all clubs.
The players picked up so far by club:
Panthers - Have lost Burton, Capewell, Naden and bought in no one really, regardless they are fine
Storm - Notable ins are Coates and Meaney and a few other bits and pieces. They lose Hynes, Addo-Carr, Finucane and Lee, plus a few other bits and pieces. They still have a gun side but their depth will e severely tested if they get injuries. Can Coates provide the threat Addo-Carr did?
Rabbitohs - They lose Gagai, Reynolds, Su'A, Mago and others and bring in Milford...maybe, if he isn't in jail (whoever thought anyone would wonder that!). They have been decimated by gun outs and no one really in. Milford and Walker, wowsers that will be...interesting.
Sea-Eagles - Lose Sironen and gain Bullemor. Bullemor is an excellent signing, we all know how much potential he has. They still have TTurbo and that is enough to be up there but not go the extra step. They need a strike centre and there aren't many of those around, particularly for a club with no cap space.
Eels - Lose Fergusen and a few others but no ins. They are a smokey for next season but they will regain Mahoney, that is pretty big.
Roosters - In is Watson, out is Cordner, Friend, Liu and the Morri twins. This team is getting older but they have some big regains in Watson, Keary, Collins, etc. Their regains will be big but they might be starting to age, will be interesting to see which kids / stars they 'convince' to come in over the offseason.
Knights - Ins are Gagai and Clune. I have no idea how they afforded Gagai, they have to be 'bending' their cap. Outs are Shibasaki, Green and Watson. They really need to be top 4 next year or it might all implode, Gagai is a huge in, they have threats at centre on both sides.
Titans - Liu and Turner come in but they need more in the spine, their youth approach may well backfire, I'd be bringing in Berrell from Wynnum-Manly. Their outs are Don, Peachey, Taylor, Rein and a few others. I dunno, their squad seems so unbalanced now, too much unproven youth, sound familiar?
Bottom 8:
Sharks - Ins are Hynes, Finucane, McInnes and outs are Dugan, Johnson, and Townsend. They have some top quality ins but the question really is, who organises at halfback? They will be VERY competitive and if they run with Trindall at 7, well they might well be a smokey next year. This is one side to really watch but another problem is, who is their backline strike? Is their forward pack better than run of the mill? Building nicely.
Dragons - Ins are Burgess, Mbye, Molo, Su'A and their outs are Beale, Clune, Dufty, McInness, Merrin, Norman, Vaughan and a few others. They couldn't ship Vaughan out quick enough when the chance came, this might have more of a fracturing effect than they thought. They have taken on a lot of big contracts that might bite them moving forward. This side seems to...boring. I don't know, Hook has made a Broncos-lite there and they will have an inspired patch once again and then probably fall away like usual.
Tigers - Ins Hastings and Gildart and outs are Leilua, Mbye, Packer and Walters. This side is awful, they have nothing exciting coming in, cannot attract big names and are in turmoil. 2022 spooners?
Warriors - Ins Johnson and Pene, outs are Ah Mau, Hiku, Maumalo, Turner and the big one Tuivasa-Sheck. This team has no decent ins really and have blown a lot of money on some average / downward trending players. They will compete for 8th and that's about it, they will be competitive, they always are but they just don't have enough star power to be more than also rans.
Raiders - Ins are no one but maybe Taylor. Outs are Havili, James, Lui, Scott?, Soliola and and Williams. This side is on a downward swing. They have a REALLY exciting fullback in Savage coming through and a decent spine but the key for them will be their number 7 and who gets it. They could end up contenders or spooners, so hard to get a read on going into '22.
Broncos - Ins are Reynolds, Capewell, Lee, Jensen, James, Pereira and Walters. Outs are Pangai Jr, Lodge, Asiata, Croft, Dearden, Milford, Glenn, Levi and Coates. Losing Coates hurts because he was seriously marketable but the emergence of Cobbo offsets that. Staggs will be like a new recruit on top of the big, big ins. The club has bought in quality players but even better quality blokes. The leadership void has been filled, an organising halfback has been signed and will captain on a not over the top wage. The improvement in the backend of the season coupled with the impressive development of the kids gives supporters PLENTY to be excited about for season '22. Smokeys to challenge for top 4 but more likely 5-8, anything less will be a failed season.
Cowboys - Ins are Hiku and Townsend. Outs are Molo, Jensen, Marsters, McGuire, Morgan and O'Neill. They have some good kids coming through but man, their roster underperforms badly and deadset, the coach has seriously underwhelmed, he looked clueless at times this season. Not sure where their improvement comes from, Payten looks like he might well be revolted against before '22 is done.
Bulldogs - They are the big recruiters with some big names BUT potentially could implode because they have some volatile types coming in and they are Vaughan, Pangai Jr, Burton (massive in), Addo-Carr, Dufty, King, Asiata and Naden. Outs are Elliott, Hopoate, Meaney, Napa, Lewis, Watene-Zelezniak. These are big ins, really big ins. These guys could transform them into contenders but they don't have much in the spine positions other than Burton who will be a superstar. The question is, can Barrett keep all of the idiots under control? There are several dropkicks and they are now all in the same side, this will be fun to watch grow or more likely, self-destruct.
