I don't think he's shown what he can genuinely do in these situations. looks startled or nervous which is affecting execution. his kicking game in the lower grades has been pinpoint in years' past. you don't lose that.

while I think we should do everything we can to retain Tallyn, I do agree. Haywood has proven his quality at Flegg level and is just about ready to step up to Cup, irrespective of what goes on with Tallyn. if Tallyn does leave though, we're going to need to give him the entirety of 2026 in...

I don't think so. Tallyn's got every right to test the market and see what teams will offer him from a salary standpoint, plus to see what teams would offer him the starting 9 role. Tartak and Richardson have a great working relationship as well.

these things take time mate. Galvingate and Richardson's holiday would've slowed negotiations even further. also have to remember that KPP was always going to go back to Newcastle so they could have last refusal. it does seem as if it'll be all tied up within days though.

was part of the scholarship he was placed on at Newington. no drama, he'll go straight to NSW Cup when it wraps up in August.

Barry Toohey (Newcastle's mouthpiece) reporting WT's offer to Kai Pearce-Paul is $600,000 a season. very, very happy with that given what it costs for a premier backrower in today's market.

he's hampering us on the field as much as he is off it. it's time to park Jarome and Latu either side of the ruck with Bula sweeping both sides and Jack Bird starting at 13. back to basics.

a strong culture and leadership is what will drag this club out of the cellar. given Api's role up to this point and into the future of the rebuild, you don't disrespect a player of that calibre. quite simply, he has to be retained. what message does it send to the entire league if you can't...

Pearce-Paul’s playing too heavy up in Newcastle. compare his frame to how he was in England and it looks as if he’s carrying about 5-7kg too much. I think he’s going to benefit from a change.

you’d hope so.

changes nothing for this week or this season as a whole. we've got far bigger fish to fry.

do a Melbourne. free to negotiate but unless a prospective club comes up with a suitable player to swap he's held to his contract.

will probably be in the frame 2027 pending on how he grows. he doesn't necessarily look out of place in Flegg at the moment, but is clearly a 17-year-old playing in an U/21 competition. needs a few first grade preseasons and another growth spurt, which I think he's due to have. he looks like a...

thanks BD22 ya legend. agreed that we need to bring in a few players for the first grade side and then a couple underneath to really build out the depth chart. once that's sorted we won't be far away. you're right there. Sunday night will be massive. will be the biggest test of the character...

absolutely agree, but just looking at full-time contracted players. he's much better defensively than LB.

if we could build a backrow depth chart of Fainu Pearce-Paul Burns Seyfarth Sukkar Broederlow (D) Godinet (D) we would be in great shape.

correct.

I was told that in the days that followed Galvin and Moses turning down our contract offer that we contacted Joe Wehbe making enquiries as to DCE's availability.

ties in with the Herald tidbit yesterday that we're 'frontrunners'
