what makes you think Saukuru will be upgraded? from what I've seen he's on a 2 year development deal.

Would be surprised if Saukuru got upgraded. Missed more then half the year then played minimal minutes off the bench in Flegg. Unsure how true but I heard that some at the club werent overly impressed with his efforts at training
@thegbone
Heard from a reliable source earlier in the year that he was guaranteed a Top 30 contract in 2023 as part of the last contract he signed.
Should be announced soon enough but I think he’s the 27th player.
Well thats another wasted spot if true
Yeah, was coming off a major injury when he played Flegg in the back half of this year but definitely didn’t look near first-grade ready.

wouldn't surprise me if he's being given a top 30 contract to keep the family happy. Solomone and Livai in the junior ranks who are better prospects imo.

If your playing by the rules, getting your roster balanced and compliant is a real art. You need 17 NRL standard players, than you need a balance of up and comers, journey men, minimum wage players and the odd punt. I don't think even the Chooks can squeeze 30 nrl standard players into the roster. Players like Will Smith every club needs, they can do a job and play multiple positions.
Anyway as Elma Fudd said, its now duck season, so lets see what happens

Not convinced 5,6,16,17,18 & 25 are Ist grade standard and how 23 &26 will go after such a long serious injury recovery . Whatever we need one spot to Jimmy Ngutlik and 2 really top class signings in this apparently magic November
Raiders have signed a young Penrith lock to an ongoing training deal.
Apparently he was man of the match in their Jersey Fleg grand final win.
Named Hohepa Puru.

They’re a very well represented family in our junior ranks.
Their dad Joey coached Wests SG Ball this year.
I agree why is it so many were ok come to tigertown and not ok anymore ?

Any good?
Peachey is a player that will respond positively in a team that requires him to play well to hold his position. He drops to the standard to the squad he plays with. He was no value to the Titans or us but if he wants to play FG at Penrith he will need to lift his game to meet their standards.

Pretty sure he signed with the Kennel .. 🙁 .. guess we will just have to wait to see the list of 40 odd players currently signed with the Dogs ..
Apparently talented, but this year was pretty much a write-off for him, was coming off the back of major shoulder (I think) surgery and played mainly off the bench in Flegg when he came back.
Realistically shouldn’t be in the Top 30 this season, but I’d heard a spot was guaranteed to him as part of his Development contract he signed a year ago.

Can assume it is a good thing that Kitione Kautoga remains on the website when many other unknowns have also been removed (O'Kane, Freebairn, Brown etc).
