Thanks Lauren. Things are lively at the club with a few outgoing player movements. Obviously there is a plan and a list. We can hope for some great incoming signings including a good hard UK forward.

It's OK to let players leave, but why mid- season ??, we don't have the class to replace them with what we have, surely we can do the same and start getting players from other clubs mid season.I guess other clubs have players that want a shot at playing 1st grade that will at least have that opportunity at our club??

Maybe move them on when we can and have the club positioned to pick up players identified for recruitment or those from the lower grades identified as a priority upgrade. I am not too concerned about results this year as we all know it was going to be tough.

Yeah i agree flippers going is a positive but we need a plan for some quality reinforcement, under the old management id be slightly more concerned.

Will be to either bring kids into the squad and upgrade existing deals using this years cap.

In saying that AJ gone means 1 more spot for next year. Our roster was shot and in a mess.

Richo & Benji have some major cleanup work to do.

Aj going doesent add a spot for next year as he was off contract

I wonder if Tim Johannssen is up for an upgrade, lot of talk about how well he has been going.

I think that's what's happening. Especially with AJ
leaving. Johannssen has been ripping & tearing too

 

[InBulaWeTrust]

Would it be to upgrade Laulili to top 30 for this season?

AJ gone doesn't effect next year at all. He was off contract at the end of the year like Simpkin

AJ - from the sh$& house to the penthouse - you son of a gun

Wonder what Cleary sees that we don’t ? Not buying him for fun !

 

[The Chad]

We released an outside back?

You know who they could promote into the Top 30......

No...

Ryde-Eastwood need him as they push towards the finals.

I'd suggest you haven't been paying attention to my 2024 agenda. 🙂

See? Success follows him!

 

[Fish88]

Angus Chricton wanting 4 years, 3 mill deal. Could do a lot worse. Although to leave the glamours and play for us that price tag would probably balloon

 

[Tito Santana]

Woo Hoo!!!
Set to capitalise? Hardly.
Flippers is exactly the type of player as to why we are so bad, the bottom of our barrel is so deep we dredge up sea creatures like flippers. He should go to sea world, one of the seals there might be able to teach him how to catch.
