    I'll add a couple of categories:

    Which off-contract players do you want to see signed from other clubs?

    Shaun Stevenson, Karl Tu'inukuafe, Michael Little (status uncertain), Luke Romano, Quinten Strange, Mitchell Dunshea.

    Which positions to be filled will you be watching for in the Mitre 10 Cup?

    Backup 6 and 8, third 7. Backups for all front-row positions. Fourth/Fifth Lock. Halfback, Midfield.

    Speaking of this, will be interested to see how Ezekiel Lindenmuth goes.

      @rocky-rockbottom And he's from the Hibiscus Coast - probably born and educated there when it was still bogan and a League town.

      Keep your sticky hands off him, and Karl T too!

            Fucking awesome.

            That's such good news. Now develop a top-notch backup tighthead, and really good hooker. Oh, and Scrafton to fully recover please.

              @duluth He actually explicitly credits Tom Coventry for his decision in his interview video:

                      So far the confirmed props are:
                      Tu'inukuafe
                      Tu'ungafasi
                      Hodgman

                      Hopefully we retain Manu and the would round out the LH's

                      So that leaves these 3 TH's going for 2 spots:
                      Mafileo
                      Tamoaieta
                      Salmon

                            Come on MacDonald, where are your poaches? He's slipping behind in the two horse race to be head coach in 2020

                                  Good call. I'd be happy with that his set piece work has improved a lot in the last 18 months.

                                      That would be a pretty funny side affect of the bizarre structure the board has put in place.
