If Frawley does go this year I'd be surprised if we fill the spot before next season. Depending on available cap I think we might go like for like and fill the 2nd row spot that Gannon's departure will create with a NRL replacement. Maybe somebody like Ryan Matterson, if we could afford him.
We don’t need to replace Frawley, Connor will get the 7 shirt with Sinfield as backup.
I don’t think we’ll see many signings, maybe like you say an NRL backrower but that will be it.
Lots of the younger players will be coming ‘on cap’ and personally I think the idea of keeping a settled squad is better than too many changes.
Yep. I think we'll see one incoming assuming Lisone resigns. Watkins was effectively a signing this year on next year's cap given the Sivo exemption. With the Sivo’s return, we effectively have what's left over from Watkins wage, the young players who will enter onto the cap, and the funds from the departures of Gannon Frawley and ECW to play with. Continuity will have to be the watchword.
