Now thats a side hustle,best not thinking about.Fitting then old Bro;s up for Bruhs

Yeah unfortunately can't see another club taking him on a top 30 contract so why would he agree to leave.

He doesn’t have to “ agree” to leave, if the club pays him the total of his 2025 contract in advance, they can delete him from the top 30

I was asking for this info. So decided to do it myself. Very quiet Saturday night haha!

 

[JB9918]

Olam should be for 2026 as well. Bugger!

 

[JB9918]

Fixed!

Yeah good points about Bud & Bateman, priority number 1s to move.

And then AD & Naden open up roster spots for 2026 which we'll need for upgrades (i.e Makasini & co) & recruitment.

Makasini hasn't played a nrl game yet and we're already upgrading him in 2026 😂

1. Bula 2. Skelton 3. Makasini 4. Taylan May
5. Turuva 6. Galvin 7. Luai is going 2 go hard.

Have I missed something ? Why all this talk of Taylan May ? I think Olam/Laulilii in that mix would be an awesome backline.

Already set in stone, his recent contract included upgrade to top 30 in ‘26.

Just riffing, doesn't have court until March anyway..
haven't lost my faith in Luke but he's still a backup

Matamua has big wraps on him like Johansen for some reason.

Even Richo said in the podcast that Mats was in good shape -- like why even mention him if his not in the frame. found that surprisingly odd.

Must be a smokey to be in the team or close to it.

If Bird plays #13, which is a good chance, that puts To'a, Doueihi & Staines in a fight for 1 outside back position.

Weirdly- the forgotten man in this three is Doueihi.

Everyone has essentially written him off. I would not be surprised at all, if he is the guy. He's easily the most damaging runner of all three. Even coming back from injury last year, he was generating some really good metres per game.

Even in Richo's pod cast interview- nearly everyone latched on to the comment on Matamua, but not one mention of Richo mentioning Doueihi.

It's because Douehi is a human turnstile. He alongside Nofa and Toa are the worst defenders I've seen play first grade

 

[Oldman]

Yes, there almost always not so long ago used to be the average, but not great, winger / centre, that was the goal kicker- El Mazri & Conlon come to mind quickly but there were so many others.

Do others on here remember the Rabbitohs Eion Crossan
if he couldn’t kick goals I doubt he would have played 1st grade.
But good luck to him and others like him they are in the books as 1st grade players.

Some people think it’s a given he’ll be here to play with his bro asap.
I remember a certain son that a lot of people were naming in their future sides and I think we all know how that turned out.
I wouldn’t be counting on him being here, same with the knife juggler.

Lobb >>>>>>Second Row???

The Storm did it to Kane Bradley. It may happen in time

He's one junior you don't hesitate to offer a top 30. Many haven't warranted it the gamble, he does

 

[cochise]

AD has gret attack but horrible Defense

you would think he would work on it

shows you that he's a bit soft

no shoulders

bad attitude - as they say defense is all atitude

AD thinks he's better than what he is -- i.e. he just doesnt scrap like other players.

Bird has one leg - but gives 110% every game.

lets see how it plays out

The part that really gets me is he will get beat but then won't even chase to make up for it. He just jogs in the background.

Yeah he can show some toe sprinting out of the line to have an air swing, but amble back into position.

Remember him well, They called him The White Rabbit.

Unfortunately that is the part i find unforgiveable.

100%.

He's so bad for culture.

If he isnt captain, the alpha dog, everyone praising him -- he just throws his toys out of the cot.

Exactly like Robbie was.

Staunch lebbos man -- they're either the best thing in the world when everything is going right for them OR the worst thing in the world when it isnt.

Now that AD is only on $350K for a year -- and with Luai and Galvin and May and others there now -- he's so far down the pecking order -- he could either try really hard to prove them wrong (which i think he will do) BUT as soon as things go wrong, he'll fold and be like "You wanted these other guys over me and look how bad it is with them".

That is a little unfair as i never saw Robbie give up on the field,if anything it made him try harder.As a player he did undoubtedly get some things wrong in his time which shows he is human(usually overplaying his hand when things were going wrong)
His work ethic on the other hand was excellent and he never gave up which is something Doohie fails in

true on the field yes you're 100% right - my bad.
