If you have been following this club at all over the past decade you’d know that Dave Donaghy is probably one of the best things to happen to our club in recent times

I would love to keep him for at least one more year

Could Piakura play wing, centre or fullback should one of the backs go down? This is the scenario that will certainly happen.

Maybe
I remember when we medically retired Matt Gillet to make way for TPJ and co.
I like what Piakura brings, but not sold yet. He could be another TPJ type.
But a 3 year deal at this stage of Kurt's career might be in his best interests.
Be hard to replace his utility value. Might solve the Ezra problem, but create a few others throughout the year with in-game utility coverage.

I was literally just typing this.. we might be able to cover it if he leaves in 25 as we will have some time but if he goes effective immediately like the warriors want we need a nrl ready replacement for 24. Piakura hasn't had the best luck with injuries, suspension and sickness.

Riki is fairly solid, but if we lose Capes its either going to mean we are expecting a kid to step up and play most of the year at a good level, or we are probably going to see Patty to edge back row again if we dont recruit anyone. I still think Staggs could play back row but then we would have lost both our starting centers from last year.

I need to see more effort areas, 1 percenters and no walking when the ball goes past him, from piakura before I am sold on him.
Hardwork will usually beat talent. He has talent but needs to show he is a hardworker now.
My other concern losing capewell is our left edge and combinations would be very different with capewell and herbie gone. The loss of experience and talk could impact the defensive structure.

Capes doesn’t get a say in the matter tho. If we get bummed in the process he won’t get released it’s pretty simple. If the club can find a replacement or feel they can handle all those issues suitably and the cap space is much needed but the reality is if he leaves in 25’ anyway who gives a **** about cap space next year we are under it already so may as well keep him. He won’t get released early and neither should he be requesting it. Not the sort of person plus I believe he loves the club and has loved his time here he just doesn’t see a suitable future. Was always going to be the issue with Kurt because he hasn’t made enough throughout his career to afford taking unders in his backend. His backend is where he will make it all because he is actually known and appreciated league wide now.

Gillo had a busted neck though
He obviously had been set up with his junior and school development work that he’s been doing as a ‘please and thank you’, but there was no need for the club to do anything dodgy there like some other medical retirements we’ve seen across the league
It still makes me sad.
Dude should’ve been captain. Would’ve been better than Glenn or Parker

23 we got lucky with few injuries.
Losing Flegler, Herbie, Palasia and now possibly Capewell is starting to get me a bit twitchy.
If letting so many reliable players go to free up wages for Mam & Walsh’s improved contracts then I get it, but at the expense of a more rounded squad?
I think we need Capewell for 24, losing him to an early contract release makes our squad so much weaker and inflexible.

Fairly light on might be the understatement of the century.
I believe if we release Capewell.. Riki & Piakura will be the only players in the entire top 30 who are edge backrowers.
Unless.. is it finally time we transition Oates to an edge?

I actually like this.
Time for a potential team list....
Anyone in this place like doing team lists?
