Get rid of Pearce and sign Angus Crichton, that would be gold.

Crichton should have been (and possibly was for a short time) target NO.1 with a bullet together with a decent prop, but it's too late now Ray we've blown the wad on Cronk.
Fk do you seriously think someone is going to buy Pearce's whole contract Ray? You've got rocks in your head.
Even if we could put a competitive enough offer to Crichton now we'll lose others like Latrell, SST etc.
It won't happen.

We do have a salary cap and on November 1st we have 12 or so players becoming free agents - some big ones too that will be wanting contract increases based on what other teams will be offering. - Could find ourselves losing players we want to keep - cap is what 9 or so mill? - if Cronk has signed for 1 mill that's approximately 1/9th of the Cap on one player

i reckon this is critical as is our wide edge defense on both sides

Like i mentioned before, with all these players off contract (most of whom will be offered good money elsewhere) we are I believe flying too close to the wind with this one. What if Cooper goes down with a long term injury (likely given his age) together with the loss of other key players?
It's bizzare - mentally deficient even - to believe a premiership is a sure thing in 2018.
We'll need a bucketload of luck to get there.

PeeGee, we have been ignoring the lack of quality Prop rotation ( or the anointed ones haven't stepped up to the plate) for years now the LOD , MOA types to harden the middle are the missing parts to the puzzle.
Our Pack has been reputedly one of the best in the Comp but have been found wanting in crucial periods.
No half combination can deliver when dominance and forward momentum is being stymied.
