I don't believe SWalker is gettable for a minute BUT let's say for argument's sake he is, I would be willing to even sacrifice Haas IF it means we get SWalker AND keep Xman plus Big Ben. Of course, given the sides you see rolled out by the likes of Melbourne, Penrith and Easts year in, year out, I really don't see why we can't keep all the key pieces AND get SWalker.
@McHunt said the next few team lists would be interesting...so I don't want to disappoint. How about this for 2026:
1. Walsh
2. Leota
3. Mariner
4. Cobbo
5. Arthars
6. Mam
7. Walker
8. Willison
9. Mozer
10. Haas (not re-signed unless he wants to take a 500k plus price cut)
11. Piakura
12. Riki
13. Carrigan
14. Bukowski
15. Te Kura
16. Semu
17. Armstrong
Of course, we will need some solid first graders / depth around all of that but some big calls obviously in Leota actually coming good (doesn't look possible right now), Staggs, Hetherington and Reynolds gone. Committing to Mariner over Staggs is extremely controversial and probably very wrong but meh. Hetherington, Smoothy and Walters can still be depth and this side is way too youth heavy, even 2 years down the track but hey, I promised it would be interesting.
