And who exactly are we swapping with for a currently uncontracted player?

I think Manly have screwed the pooch in this one. Their succession plan seems to have been retaining DCE in a coaching role from 2027 onwards to help attract new halves and help develop his replacement. Without DCE I don’t think they’re in a strong position to recruit Galvin.

Klemmer?
Him leaving makes it 29 I thought?
Otherwise Olam's retirement, maybe? (damn shame, he would have been a gun if fit).
Not sure that two 5/8’s is the right way to go. I mean look at us so far

ROFL...
Just ROFL.
I get this feeling that whatever Anthony Siebold did at Brookevale worked because Turbo and especially DCE could get the team working.
Now I think we will just see the "attacking Flow" and a similar situation to Brizvegas... I can just imagine LB looking into Siebold's eyes with a doe like stare going "now what do I do?"...
That said, Manly have Onitoni Large from us... Well at least 5/8 is covered.
Staines. His last year. Since we haven't got Olam's money yet or might never get it maybe Staines is being offloaded for bit of coin. Who knows.
Love that it's all in house. Better than last hierarchy who had more leaks than a sieve.
I have a feeling the contract with the most dollar signs will get him.
Standby for first grade. If skeleton is out.
Nothing given to the opposition.
Not a bad replacement
False, not named in the 21 no chance of playing first grade
I know Staines, it just sounded like you meant swap with another club, except Taylan doesn’t play for another club.
I think you misunderstood. It was about swapping Staines for Taylan. Also we have 28, I’m pretty sure. Had 29 at Nov1, released Bateman, added Sione, released Klemmer. We wouldn’t have needed to release Klemmer to sign, nor do we necessarily need to release (or retire) anyone else.

The Mole reporting that Finau Latu (gun junior who plays lock) from Dragons being chased by multiple nrl clubs and can sign for 2026 after round 6 this year. I want to live in a world where we have a Latu Fainu and Finau Latu in our squad. Haha
Another Mole "scoop."
Maybe Dylan Walker from Warriors to Parramatta - immediately.

Finau can play. supreme talent. that said, I assume we’ll opt for someone a bit older to ensure we don’t block Taai or Havea’s path.

The Dragons/Steelers forward stocks in juniors are incredible. Would argue that they have some of the best coming through the grades in Halangahu, Pasifiki Tonga, Finau.
Can't keep them all, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Finau move on. But yeah, not sure if he would end up with us as Havea in particular seems to be earmarked for big things. Still, I wouldn't mind him to come in as Matamua's replacement in 2026.

? Not sure thats what they need. One thing Parra do have is backrowers/ locks. Hopgood, Jack Williams, Matterson, Lane and a few othersAnother Mole "scoop."
Maybe Dylan Walker from Warriors to Parramatta - immediately.
