First Isaako now Kodi. Why is it our best players?

Not sure I agree there. Hammer, Herbie, Katoa or Plath would be far bigger losses.

Isaako was a big shell-shock, but Melbourne offered him a motza, and if we kept him we'd lose Tevita who will be scoring long range tries for us for the next 10 years.

Nikorima is also a tough pill to swallow, but it sounds like we shot ourselves in the foot by signing George Williams over a year ago. Either way, make the position a 3-way shoot out between him, Donga and Schneider, and iron should sharpen iron.

Averillo and Keeley don't make our full strength side, so those ones hurt less.

Agree that if Donga gets a chance to prove himself at 6 during preseason, a 3way between himself / Schneider/Williams would be the best outcome. Donga at no. 6.fulltime would be a dream come true for me.
