Agree, besides middles another target should be a versatile utility.

Freshly updated with Tiny's signature. Bud is still on the list as nothing official yet making it 28 for now, but when he goes back to 27. 3 spots, you would also assume Bird will be moved on & maybe others... Hunt might have done enough in the last few weeks to stay on, who knows...

Ma Manly will struggle to turn their roster over if they don't get results. Everyone is 4 or 5 years.

I'll do an update soon based on May for 3 yrs & Bud gone. Would make 3 spots given we know Andrews is development for next year

Solid source? I can live with that.

I think the bench is likely, Latu, Sione, Seyfarth & a new signing pending Hunt & Bird. There is also no reason Hope can't be on the bench for some games & Doueihi starts at 13 & Latu at 7. Pushing Pole to the bench & Twal to starting front row. Bula, Turuva, TayMay, Toa, Makasini, Luai...

Yeah pass on NAS. Tino or Haas are the only two you would break the bank for who can negotiate from Nov 1. Moale is a good option based on youth & price. Tartak as manager works for us, we will get a look in at least. Given the limited roster spots & depth of roster, we need a top 17 player...

I missed the game. Just watched the highlights. Anything controversial with the refs?

I think we just sit tight & wait & see what the off season holds. Richo & Gallant seem to be all over the situation. We have added depth when it has been lacking. They would be aware our middle is the next area to complete the team. We need a stop gap because our middles coming through the...

Bird available & in Cup... Hopefully he takes the hint

It was odd though saying. 2026: Development ➡️Top 30. Maybe he gets upgraded before June 30? But I agree Broederlow seems to be the one. That makes 27 official for 2026 right now. Again, still with Sullivan on the books & no Taylan May as yet.

Or does it mean 2026 starts as a development deals then into a top 30 spot? I just looked up Broderlow, clearly says on WT website a development deal for 2026. Roberts & Murray announced recently. Goodinet, Haywood & Taupua-Moors says they have extended to 2027, 2028 & 2028 respectively. But...

That makes 7 on development deals... Someone must have an upgrade or paid out?

Smart move. Let him see what's out there. Surely he goes to the UK

So remains 28 for 2026 including Bud. Taylan unsigned still. Minus Bud Plus Taylan = 28 still So essentially 2 spots for those falling out of trees
