Offer him the kind of cash that is not good enough for pain hass and see if we can bundle with Herbs.
Our obvious need is the pack minus the hooker as we have plenty hookers
But Starting with an uncompetitive pack and now we've lost Mikhalae ,
Luciano, Kelma and Garner and with Tamou in semi retirement playing 35mins every 2nd week forget him
That leaves Musgrove, Joffa, Twal ( who in my opinion will never come up with try assist let alone try. Blore is unknown doubt he will star after so long out .You can add in Pole and Matamua who look promising
Don't feel much else can come from our cup squad as they have conceded well over 500 points at a level much slower than NRL
So what do we have maybe about 5 forwards that would be in a finals bound team we need about 9 or 10
If papi doesn't renig plus Api whose a hooker we still need 3 more which need to come from outside as I assume all our stars in flegg mathews etc will still be too young in 2023
Players of same level as Carrigan ,Cotter,Saifiti needed at least 3 of this level

We're currently last in NRL and second last in NSW Cup. You must get excited easily.
I guess your excitement comes from Madge being axed, which I still find odd considering we haven't looked close to winning since he left.

That shows how bad the Dolphins recruitment has been.

The thing with gildart
He just xame to the wrong nrl team at the wrong time lol
Best case he should of spent at least half a year in cup before transitioning into the first team
He does have potential
Good luck to him

He wouldn't have been any use at any club as far as i can see.Pamfers wouldn't even have him in reggies as he would be taking up a better players opportunity.
What clubs do you honestly believe would take him? especially since he played some reggies on the UK also

I believe that he could of developed well at a another club, e.g. Storm
We took a shot and missed...I mean Newcastle did it with Dom young....that bloke was very raw when he first started , now look at him...one of the best wingers in the comp
I was hoping he was the next Fitzy
Young is a much younger player so he could be easier moulded into a first grade player,Gildart is older and has always had the same deficiences in his game.He could not be coached out of his poor defence in the UK and it would be next to impossible to do so in the NRL with it's far higher skill level.
I honestly wish him well but i doubt he would be a success at any NRL club,he needs to go back to ESL

He's just not up to it. We have a weak top 30 and he's probably about 6th or 7th choice centre was dropped from NSW Cup level. I'm sure if he was at Penrith he could slot in at centre and his deficiencies wouldn't stand out as much, but that's more a reflection on the team than the player.

Nice guy as he is, he has to be up there with one of the worst people we've signed in recent memory, and that's saying something.

Once he puts on some size like all the Panfers seem to do .. he'll certainly be a handful.

Running off Luai and Cleary he will hit gap after gap. Cleary will use him wisely. Wasn't it Cleary who recruited him to WTs?

I read somewhere last year that Gildart would need easing into the NRL. I believe it mentioned he was a project.
We played him in the centres for what, the first 6 or 7 games, then dropped him never to play first grade again.
Maybe he should’ve played KOE cup for the first 6 or 7 games? Bennett will probably turn him into a top NRL player.
