Miller hurts for sure but the main thing is that we're looking to retain the majority of that side.
Galvin, Keppie, Mason, Da Silva, Colquhoun, Craig and the Laulilii brothers are crucial to our long term success.

Great discussions from Pele's management but they wanted to see if we would match other offers & we declined.
Laulilii brothers are already contracted for 2023.

No loss. Bit part player.
Based on magic round the two players we have signed for next year if available at this minute clubs would be falling over themselves to secure them. If by some miracle we can secure another quality signing it would be the best year in recruiting on paper in the clubs history.

are any of the Wests Matts boys going to be fast tracked for firsts off the back of winning the comp?

You would think so. Maybe only one or two even close to being ready though, cupboard is very bare

It may be an opportunity for the young fellow to set himself and his family up. It is a lot of money but we may have other Jordan Miller's in the huge catchment area. We just have to be first to identify and retain them.
Burton is definitely an interesting option to consider going forward, especially if he doesn't exercise his option. Brooks' money frees up at the end of 2023 so we could roll a good amount of that into Burton. Burton and Hastings could be a very good pairing on opposite sides of the field. I feel Burton's struggled a bit having to play more first receiver at the Dogs, stifling his running and ball playing. Having someone like Hastings run the show and let Burton focus on his kicking and running game would be huge.
It's essential we put Doueihi in the 6 as soon as possible and Brooks in the 14 to see if there's long-term potential in that. If Doueihi + Hastings works, great. If not, then we could have a ready made 6 to step in and shift Doueihi to the centres.

Massive risk throwing silly money at a kid who is the biggest on the park at junior level. There is a lot of history that tells you, plenty come back to the field as they go up the grades.
Not saying he is not worth trying to keep, but it’s risky business throwing over the odds at young kids

He's a star ita a sure thing
150k a year is huge money to a 17 year old kid. It's a balls out move from the Dolphins. Running over the top of 16/17 year olds doesn't necessarily mean it will happen in the NRL otherwise we'd be fondly recalling the Matt Groat NRL domination. For a playmaker maybe you roll the dice but wow it's a bold move to spend that on a Harold Matthews prop.

Great update Pom.
I found this one funny. No offense to anyone but I take everything as a rumour until there is an official announcement from the club.
Dropping the ball probably is unfair. They're doing their best from all reports but you can't just match every insane offer that comes in.

played every minute of the grand final and clearly has an excellent attitude. obviously gifted with his size at that age but he looks to be a good'un. I think he'd be silly not to take the offer at Redcliffe. you really don't know what's around the corner.
