Replace with State of Origin or International players to move forward. We need a barnstorming prop who can bump off players not another second row who we can convert into a prop.
can't say sitting where we are in the table too much is wrong so as we need a big clear out, some players will go more youngsters will be signed on to accomodate the quotas, from where I sit fitzy and macca were obviously going to go at the end of the season to bring younger (probably cheaper players in, in the case of fitzy ). Don't forget the constraints of the salary cap when your talking about bringing in SOO or internationals in.
I'm sure they regret giving Millsy a 2 year contract now but I wouldn't be surprised to see him go if we can persuade someone to take him. I personally think Galea has been fine for us despite not hitting the man of steel form like at the start of the season, but I would expect him to go also when his contract expires and a younger player takes his place.
Squad improvement is about gradual improvement now we have reached a certain level to build a succesful team not for just next year by signing retiring aussie test players. I understand your upset by macca leaving and I think its a shame also but that's progress.
