Basically told him he's our number one target and offered a top 30 spot for 2023. Sounds like we're pretty keen.

I’ve heard the whisper yesterday arvo about this one too. I think we get this done.

Can you provide some background information on him? I know he is the son of Adam Dykes and is a fullback.

So this is Kade Dykes the fullback from Newtown/Cronulla. Good stats in KOE cup - could put some pressure on Laurie.

Reminds me of Tedesco the way he runs - and no i'm not saying he is as good as him.

Sorry who is our number one priority? Euan Aiken or Hudson Young. I would be happy with both of them. Still need some pacey backs that can score points and a back up full back.

A big thank you to all the Forum Members with inside information. Much appreciated.
So to sum up the last couple of pages it appears WT have meet with Euan Aiken (Centre/Second Rower) - 26 years old with 143 NRL games and 49 tries.
WT interesting in some of the Faiders Clean Out Players
Joseph Tapine (turns 28 today so May the 4th be with you) - Second Rower with 146 NRL games
Hudson Young (23) - Second Rower with 55 games. Aggressive player. Was done for eye gouging in the past so hopefully that shit is out of his game
Kade Dykes - Young fullback from Cronulla and son of Adam Dykes. Back up full back needed
Matt Komolafe - Young Eels winger with speed and can find the line.
Whilst he has talent and plays hard I hope Jack Bird does not come to WT. We have signed these type of players before and have been burnt. Let's learn from the past.
Players leaving seasons end from top 30 (I have at least 9)
Leilua - Cowboys (one I hope we don't regret leaving us)
Tuilagi - Manly
Roberts - Dolphins maybe
Tamou - retirement or maybe offered one more year
Gardner - Penrith maybe
Mikaele - Dolphins maybe
Liddle - Parra maybe
T Simpkins - released.
Kei - released
We have only 2 confirmed signing for 2023 so lots of spots available.

Just hard to get players away from Cronulla.
Saw him play for Jets vs Magpies. Very sharp.

Get it done, could be our long term fullback

Looks like the club feels we need a better option at fullback.

Players living in areas like Many and Cronulla would enjoy the beaches and cafes , but I think money still would be a major part along with a real chance to play top grade , Older players with solid history could go to these areas for a bit less and still enjoy what’s on offer , makes it harder for the Tigers but I still think we can purchase players for next year and complete well

Well, death is an easy way to clear cap space.
