Those four are the obvious ones imo, beyond them I’m struggling. Agree re Saad but hopefully he comes back refreshed.

Well, he is sporting a new do  :)

Carroll, Cowan, Dean, Haynes, Saad & Weiters.

I left out HOF as he won't be available til later in the 2026 season.,

Coaches often talk of the 'back seven' so rotation is important. A backman on the bench for rotation? If so, for me it'd be Florent. And the wingman who sags back would be Acres.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

B Saad Weitering Cowan
HB Dean OFarrell Newman
Like to see Charleson get some games as I think he has potential for the back pocket, but Saad gets in due to experience and lack of other younger options. Im looking to build the backline for the future with youth as I think we wont be competitive until a few years time when some of our younger players become good senior players.
Chose Newman over Haynes as he uses the ball better and is a leader but dont see either in our next premiership team. Id have Haynes on the bench as injury backup so he will probably get to play a lot of games anyway.
