We may need one more season to sort the squad out fully. We just have to be better than last year though looking at our roster.

Anyone’s guess how the NRL imports go; I’m interested to see what happens with O’Connor and Johnson next year, and Goudemand could be handy. Would love to see Simpson get some game time too the lad has potential.

Kershaw is there, no Olpherts.

Personally I think Johnson is a better 9 than O’Connor; Jarrod has a great engine and attitude but he just doesn’t have the distribution or head sometimes.

I’d like to see Corey back himself to get past O’Connor over the term of Ackers’ contract, but he probably sees himself as starting somewhere sooner.

Deffo looks like Kershaw in that picture.

Hopefully, that's the backdrop to the 'one in, one out' situation.
i.e. if Johnson moves on, we can bring in another prop.

He’s older than O’Connor but simply not as good, and now we have Ackers he’s 3rd choice by some distance
