Would have already been three stories about the boys training the house down. In full Brydens kit.

I know we are short of spots for 25 but you would have to think we are close to getting someone decent for 26. It's been like 8 days and we clearly have spots and cash so fingers crossed Richo has this sorted.

We will have more than heaps for 2026 , because unless Richo pulls his finger out of his a**** and starts signing some forwards we will again be looking at 4 wooden spoons , and Galvin and I guess many more will be looking to jump ship , this idea of giving all these kids top 30 spots could be the down fall for our club , yes there is some good ones but the majority will never make it , u got to start wining before u can start to bring kids throw , and they will want to stay if ur winning

So Bateman goes, we have lost a few forwards and not signed much to replace them with. Madge stuffed us on Kobe. Haven’t had many bites yet despite throwing out a lot of bait. Hope Richo pulls something off because our forwards look very light on.
 
this Kobe stuff clearly isn’t over.

given there was no quotes from his manager as someone pointed out, plus Kade saying he’s expressed a desire to leave, we’ll just have to give Brisbane a week to roll over.

furthermore, Madge can be as petty as he likes, but if he wants to sign Hunt plus retain Staggs and Cobbo then he doesn’t get a choice.

I think the club can give up the ghost on trying to get rid of Sullivan. No one seems to want him, even if he was for free.

Clubs will probably wait to see what happens with Hunt, Ilias, Daniel Atkinson & potentially Pezet first. A club then desperate for a nippy backup half may come calling. I could see a Knights, Sharks or Souths take him depending how the dominos fall.

Exactly right JR. Madge has to juggle the salary for cap for 2026 & has publicly said he wants to keep both Cobbo & Staggs.

I know I mentioned Bateman as a swap yesterday as an idea more as a laugh but one of Madge's favourites in Doueihi could play a part in this (hopefully).

I agree mate. He can be as stubborn as he likes, but their cap is [This word has been automatically removed]ed and they'll be losing at least a couple.

A bench forward would almost definitely be down his list of priorities.

first off we need to sign him for 2026. after that we need to wait for Ezra’s test results.

if it comes back positive then Brisbane will have to go to market for a 6. if it’s Hunt then they don’t have the cap space. if it’s Doueihi we won’t release him unless they swap us for Kobe.

if he returns a negative we lose a lot of leverage.
 
Also, when Richardson made the 'clubs will shake the tree and we need to see what falls out' analogy, the Terrell May situation is exactly what he was talking about.

He called it to a tee.

We simply have to get him.

The longer this goes on, the more I'm convinced he's a must-sign for where we stand right now.

I'm interested to hear what people would float to Terrell offer-wise.

they’re flush with middles anyway. Haas, Jensen, Willison, Carrigan, Te Kura, Taupau and Baker. sort your shit out, Madge.

Bateman is copping the brunt of the criticism from fans, but this entire saga highlights the inexperience of Marshall. He seems to be emotional and reactive in his responses. Add Naden, Klemmer, etc to the sh1t list who are all less than enamoured with Marshall.

He has a lot of learning to do regarding man-management. Senior players are the ones you need to have onside and Marshall has practically pissed all of them off. The club is at fault too for not only installing Marshall as coach, but giving him a reserve grade/jersey Flegg/sg ball roster.

The club need to back Marshall publicly. He is the current coach, and he is technically in the first year of a long-term deal. Just a shame he didn’t offer the same courtesy to some of the club’s players. Respect goes both ways.

question: do you think the senior players did their job last year?
