We have Vea coming in from Broncos, and surely surely Richie Beaumont will be up to fitness next season?

I don't think we can depend on Beaumont with his injury record

Thompson is a direct replacement for Laffranchi - their stats are almost identical this year and the kids only going to get better.
Vea will be a good signing and a good replacement for Manu (though I know it's not necessarily a common held belief) - he is more reliant on other players putting him in positions to cause damage than Manu is from what I've seen, but the flip side is we have more invested in the halves.
LMS is Soliolas direct replacement imo, but that leaves us another prop short. I wouldn't rely on starting Richards and Thompson together yet, which is why another prop on top of what we already have would be great. As much as I'd like to think ghostmont could be that man, I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. Even including him, at the moment we have 5 props - that's not enough.
I think Amor can be our pack leader (in response to Pete) and as great as having a peacock/ hill/ Graham would be, I find it unlikely we'll find one for 2015.

| Thompson and Richards will have another years experience and of course we have Savellio who is definitely ready for the first team squad

| I still think one more prop is needed. Not the end of the world if we don't get one but I think another signing would complete a good looking squad for next year.

I'm not sure Amor has recovered from that knee yet. He's not been great since he came back and he's not playing the mins he was before so I think he's still carrying that knee.

| Props of Amor, Walmesley, Mose, Beaumont, Thompson, Richards, Walker
2nd row of LMS, Vea, wilkin, Savellio, Forster and probably Wello as well
Jones can also cover backrow if needed, i think we've got forwards covered but if there's a 25yr old Lee Gilmour out there id snap them up too

And it should recover fine in the offseason to fulfil that role next year
Of course if jammer actually wanted to win a grand final I wouldn't say no

Wanting one is one thing, getting one who is decent is another entirely...

| Thompson's a real winner for me. Tough and uncompromising.
We've got Sav for next year, too.

47035_1386433761.gif We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

| I think given the team we finished the year with we will only be better next year.

Sims is a good player but goes missing too often to be a great.

| I really dont think we need another prop.
Amor, Walmesley, mose, Beaumont, Richards, Thompson and Savellio really can play prop as well
