My off contract wishlist
Ben Hunt (dreamin')
Nikora
Mulitalo
Savage
Trindall
Hazelton
Willison
Leo Thompson
Kai Pearce-Paul
Jonah Pezet

Any 2 of those I'd be pretty stoked with fo be honest

Nikora, Ronaldo, Leo and Willison I'd say likely for 2026
To replace Capewah, DWZ, Tohu & Walker
Much younger side
Too bad still no halfbacks around lol
They should really go after the Sharks Cup kiwi halfback, no contract at the moment no?
First drop 7 and opportunity to be the long term half or create FG offers at other clubs in 2 years
Surely even paying overs won't cost an extra 100-200K, to fill out our most vulnerable position
Really don't like investing in CHT as a half long term, he's proven to lose his kick distances/accuracy after a few weeks of football (injuries or fatigue)

This would be amazing, makes a lot of sense and we could afford great offers for all of those in question.
The half back solution makes sense too. Great post.
