[QUOTE="I bleed Maroon, post: 3237697, member: 8274"] 1. Isaako 2. Coates 3. Staggs 4. Farnworth 5. Niu 6. Dearden 7. Reynolds (c) 8. Haas 9. Turpin 10. Lodge 11. Riki 12. TPJ 13. Carrigan 14. Paix 15. Kennedy 16. Flegler 17. Te'o Barring any dramatic wholesale changes to the lineup (in particular the front row e.g. Lodge leaving/Te'o retiring), this is probably the absolute best 1-17 we could hope for going into 2022. Isaako at the back and Turpin at hooker will remain weaknesses in the spine that will need to be looked at further down the line, but I beg anyone to tell me who is coming onto the market at the end of this season that we can afford that can fill all of those roles. There is just no way we can solve our halves issue and fullback + hooker in the same off season. It just won't happen. We would need the likes of Grant to come at serious unders and I am Blackbeard Teach if he will do that over staying at Melbourne. Same story goes for Brandon Smith. I'm not seeing the hype around Carrigan so he is looking like a stop gap. If we could lure Moose back on a modest wage then Carrigan becomes a bench prop at best and would push Flegler out. Paix is on the bench because forcing Turpin to play 80 minutes is dramatically depleting his effectiveness. Hopefully by that point Paix will have enough experience in the dummy half as to not be too much of a downgrade (is he even playing 9 in ISC?). I think it's an utter tragedy that RTS has fallen for the All Blacks bait because if he were available, I would be throwing half the value of the entire club at him. The bottom line is there is not a single man in our current 17 that you would call a "Marquee player". Milford is on marquee money but as for him being an actual marquee quality player well, that ship has not only sailed, it's halfway to the New World by now. Discussion of snagging DCE has been brought up recently in the rumors thread but his form so far this season has left a lot to be desired, so a fair amount of caution will need to be applied when thinking about him. Maybe we could leverage that to get him on unders? But personally I doubt he's falling for that. He would sooner take desperation money from the Cowboys. At the end of the day, people can have their cynicisms regarding the state of Adam Reynolds all they like, the fact of the matter is he is [I]everything[/I] that our current squad needs right now: Experience, leadership, legit captain material, a cool head and all of that IN THE HALVES. You kick Milford to the curb and he is quite easily the best option to replace him with. We lose nothing in the kicking game and gain a premiership winning half who knows how not to shit the bed when it matters. [/QUOTE]
