I think this will be more common from younger players now with the addition of new teams and the increased cap. 3 new teams means and extra 36-40mil of money in the competition. Thats before factoring in cap increases from the tv deal. Sam will be 26 when off contract next which is prime age...

Lines up with what I was told a couple weeks ago and posted on here. Latu should also be done. 800k is a good price based on the cap increases and his young age.

Sam needs to play on an edge. We struggled for a rep quality backrower for over a decade and now that we have one, we shouldn't be shifting him. His build is much more suited to the edge where he can use his long frame to bump off halves and break the line. He is more effective out wide than...

From someone I know to be reliable... Everyone can take that as they will, if they don't believe it or are skeptical then that is completely fine. Just re-laying the info. I posted in the Samuela thread that i don't know when it will be announced formally, but just heard that it's all been...

In an ideal world, a top class 13 and move Twal back into the front row rotation. After that a depth backrower and centre. The strategy would be to target a Nov 1 player for 2028 and then explore the possibility of getting them early. I mentioned O'Donoghoe a couple weeks ago. Stuck on the...

Agreed, I think most of our main squad needed the rest and/or surgery. I was hoping Api and KPP would opt out but hopefully they can get through the tournament unscathed. Like you mentioned, I really hope Latu and Saukuru in particular build on their end of season form and have a good world cup.

Yeah not sure when it will be announced, but just heard that it's been agreed. It's a little complicated because his agent is banned at the moment and because they're big deals, the specific agent doesn't want to miss out on the commission.

Good news, Sam and Latu have re-signed as of Friday. Archie Duncombe, Xavier Tauaifaiga and Glassie Glassie have been retained and will be in the initial early training squad in the offseason.

I believe Bryenton had issues with the dogs over his development. He arrived at the club with big wraps and was regarded as their future at fullback. At the start of the season he was playing Sg Ball and was being played out of position at halfback to start with. He then wasn’t getting a crack...

Two players i would be targeting in the offseason is Plath and Kurt Donoghoe. Neither are off-contract, however Dolphins are going to be struggling for cap space and need to re-sign Herbie, Hammer, Bostock and Katoa among others. Logically letting one of Plath or Donoghoe leave would be the...

So far this is what our NRL and Cup(depth) squad is looking like for next season based on confirmed signings. The starting 13-17 looks strong enough and did the job early this season, but when injuries hit and the back end of the roster had to stand up is when we fell apart. We are definite...

Heard the same on Seyfarth, was offered around and no one showed any interest.

Both Newcastle starting props out and he stood up and lead the pack in an elimination finals game. Not a single one of our bench or depth guys could do that.

Frizell is a great signing, even if he's not in the best 17. Our biggest issue this year was that we fell off when we lost a few key players to injuries. Frizell is the perfect type of player to come in when injuries hit and make sure that the standard does not drop off. Much prefer Frizell as...

Prefer Schiller out of that list. Kris is terrible defensively which is why Canberra are happy to see him go. Ricky has called him out for years for it and he still hasn't made much of an effort to improve in that area.
