Retiring Players and Replacements?

“I don't think we will see Damo back in the starting lineup this year. Norton will have taken that spot with his play so far, and expect Damo to suggest/ back that change.
Agree with that. Wildcats would be smart to play Martin sparingly off the bench to keep him fit for finals.”

Agree. Cats would be better served to get used to Norton starting ahead of Martin. Intensity in finals game starts might lead to injury. Bring him on in a lull, let him warm up and lift the intensity above what most 2nd units can manage as his body warms up. He could also be used to close out close games.

Next season: less time reducing to spot minutes for his final season.

Barlow could easily play on. Looks like a spring chicken. Vukona is playing pretty well.

I can see Illawarra pulling the pin and Andersen retiring.

I think Damo has a few more years left in him but moreso letting his minutes dwindle down and coming on as an impact player and we know he will make an impact, as has Andersen and Vukona.

Loughzy has looked to be playing injured for much if the season so far and I wonder if he wasn't captain if he'd have pulled up stumps already.

As for who will replace these legends, apart from saying that Mitch Young to get more court time, I think everyone else is still gonna play on until 2020
