2019:
1. Bird (ideally Isaako, but that aint happening with his current form)
2. Oates
3. Roberts
4. Staggs
5. Isaako
6. Milf
7. Dearden/ SOS
8. Lodge
9. Niko/ Turpin
10. Haas (we paid the big bucks for him and he has a massive motor. He's like Joe O with a WAY higher ceiling)
11. Gillett
12. Fifita
13. Carrigan
14. Turpin/ Niko/ Paix/ one of the halves not starting
15. Pangai
16. Joe
17. Su'a/ Flegler
2020:
1. Gutho/ Holmes (pipe dream. Cows will somehow get him despite dishing out a mil for JT13 and Morgan as well as spending big on average players)/ Isaako/ Milford
2. Isaako
3. Bird (c) (flick Roberts for the cash assuming Boyd and Macca refuse to leave. Bird and Staggs are better players than him IMO and Staggs is one, along with Fifita and Lodge, that we can't afford to lose)
4. Staggs
5. Oates
6. Milf
7. Dearden
8. Lodge (c)
9. B.Brailey (I'd almost be in favour of pulling a Tits/ Dragons to sign him. There are NO hooking options in the comp atm. A hooker with his potential is worth more than a 17 year old JT in the current market)/ Parcell (unsure about him, but who else is there? We could pull a Sticky and go after another English 9)
10. Haas
11. Gillett
12. Fifita
13. Carrigan
14. Niko
15. Pangai (If he wants anything more than 750k cya later)
16. Flegler
17. Su'a
Groom Carrigan for the captaincy.
So you would have gone easy on them?
This is why someone like Des, Madge, or Bellamy (vomit) would have been good for some of our blokes. I really rate Seibs so I'm not going to write him off just yet, but he doesn't seem like someone you'd be scared to piss off.
EDIT: In 2021 we can go after Arrow when he's off contract, I'm sure he'd be sick and tired of the Tits by then.
We could sign Seggy this year and run him/ Niko as a poor man's Cook for Seibs' gameplan.
