Apart from the fact that this is not a competitive first grade squad as it stands, it's not even a full squad! What are we going to do when we start getting the obligatory run of "horror" injuries that we seem to suffer every season?

I honestly can't imagine any quality players, particularly experienced (not one eye on retirement) NRL players wanting to sign a long term contract until other stuff is sorted, and I can't see that happening before pre-season training starts properly.

2018 looks like being the Titans Annus Horribilus, and considering some of the years we've had, that's a concern.
