We've already signed Burgess.

Gotcha said so.

Josh Hodgson for starters.

David Klemmer, Feleti Mateo, Cooper Cronk, Rory Kostjaysn (hugely underrated IMO), James Tamou, Dylan Walker, Benji Marshall, Ben Creagh, Michael Jennings, Sam Moa all off contract at the end of 2016, and that's just the bigger names.

Segayaro and ennis too

Probably all out of reach along with Tamou and Klemmer.

But if we were willing to stump for Burgess why not Papalii or Cordner.

I'm not saying we are going to get any of those names but we can at least make a serious run at a few next year whilst we couldn't this.

Assuming that Falloon goes well and stays (or is replaced by say Clark) then the only one I would make a play for off that list is Feleti Mateo. We will be very well set in the front row, and backs. I hope that the club give Lilley first shot at halfback once McGuire goes, and Sutcliffe gets the same at Stand Off next year, meaning we are looking for back rowers. Klemmer won't come over, he's just got into the SoO set up for NSW and won't give that up easy.

All that said, I'd still not be throwing huge money at Mateo, but he would be a good upgrade on what we have.

Manly are recruiting a lot of forwards. Mateo is probably available now.

Think that was the position up to a few weeks ago, but I'm sure I'd read something where they said they wanted him around for 2016.
