I think people are forgetting (not you) that we need to field a first grade team and a Reserve Grade team.After Dodd, I have my top 30 ‘new blood’ number at 5 (that’s assuming Ilias goes).
I’d retain Tass and Chee Kam at the right price.
Those 2, plus a depth half, top 17 prop, edge that can push to start, and 2 outside backs (Clarke please, and an up and comer/depth piece).
Then Wayne and a new high performance team.
There is a top squad of 30 players + 4 or so “development players” that can play from round 1.
Our recruitment hasn’t been great - no arguments there - but you need depth players, that may play 5 or so games of 1st grade each year.
That’s a long way of saying I’d keep Chee Kam and Tass as depth players too. That can do a job during origin (if we have players picked) or for injuries/suspension.
Hopefully we are taking steps to appease whatever Gods we’ve pissed off and our injury list next year will be nowhere near as bad as it has been this year.
Which means Milne, Kennar, Thompson and co will never see first grade again.
