Given the depth here, maybe Dom Young is a chance?...Naden and Staines will go. I think To'a will get a renewal, but with Luke there, we probably don't need the extra winger.
Lol Why would he move? It's a 40 minute drive...
He can take Saukuru's position in the top 30. Need to pay this guy out...
He would be an ideal to have in the top 30 roster as backup half & potentially halves/lock utility. Every club needs backups and with his experience & skill would be good. Plus the impact it could have on the 'teamfirst' brotherhood culture is also an untangible benefit.
Worth keeping Saukuru as position 29/30 in the squad. He would be on minimum wage and actually has the ability to be a depth wing/centre option next season. He's only 20/21, has size, skill, just has to knuckle down in fitness & effort areas. Every squad needs some minimum wage players.
paying $200k for Dom Young is something you simply don't pass up. he is exceptional value at that price point.
Interesting from Gus ...

Can't see Heamasi Makasini there 2026. Still very young.
Richo and the club should be announcing the new signings he mentioned on James Graham's pod in the next week or so, he should be back from the wedding in England over the weekend, maybe an announcement early next week. Not sure if the new additions are depth signings or established first graders. Imo though If they were only depth signings why even bring it up on the pod. They must be first grade quality.
I think he is wrong. He is a 5/8 or halfback, he owes it to his bank account!Interesting from Gus ...
According to Phil Gould, there is a belief from Young himself that he is playing out of position and wants to test himself in the centres - something that appears incredibly unlikely at the Chooks with Billy Smith and Robert Toia on the scene.
"That's been bubbling away for a while," Gould said on Wide World of Sports' Six Tackles With Gus on Wednesday morning.
"He's a talent - but Dom Young thinks he's a centre. He would prefer to play in the centres and he's never really enjoyed playing on the wing.
"I don't think he likes fielding high kicks, I don't think he likes to be exposed defensively out there. I don't know with the high work rate of wingers these days, he feels like it dulls him a little bit in some of the other things he can do.
"Being such a tall fella with long levers, he felt that he could feed wingers rather than running onto the ball and he himself has always wanted to play centre.
"I would imagine they might be looking for somewhere where he can have a positional change and play centre - there's a tip for you."
The moment that all-but ended star's Roosters tenure
As surprise positional theory floated

At 530 am lol. Otherwise an hour plus in Sydney traffic.... Even Concord about the same distance......
Why? Would anyone even care if his last name wasn’t May?
Makes a good point but if he is already terrible on the wing in defence, imagine at Centre.Interesting from Gus ...

All I'm saying is the majority of people in Sydney travel for their job and it's really not that much of an issue. I highly doubt the majority of tigers players live in a 15 minute vicinity of concord..
Absolutely, bye bye swanky Potts Point and hello Balmain. Balmain. seamlessly blends history, community spirit, and modern conveniences, making it one of Sydney’s most desirable suburbs with great harbour views.
