Should also add that the midfield rebuild is going to be massive - Even more-so if Rufer leaves. Currently only LBS as an attacking option and Anaru Cassidy signed up beyond the end of this season, and Cassidy is not A-League level.

Could probably look to sign someone like Hayden Thomas on a scholarship deal from the Ressie's squad to fill out the #'s, but otherwise that is a massive hole in the squad. Would Tuiloma be a candidate to move up to a DM if Ruf's is off?
Pennington is off contract at the end of the season... Has played a good amount of footy since he left us, 5 goals this season. At 27 will be hitting his prime now, might not be who we want as a starter but as a backup to Rufer and the import DM, he'd be a decent option.
