I’m not sure, but my count says we currently have 27 top 30 players contracted for 2026 including Bud Sullivan who we are supposedly offloading to the Rabbitohs and including Jack Bird who we are also rumoured to be trying to offload. So if we successfully offload those 2, we would only have 25...

I think he is quite highly regarded, so I’d assume we will hear quite a bit more about him in 2026. Both he and Curtis Lakeman are promising young halfbacks.

I’m of the belief that To’a will continue to disappoint, be a passenger and let us down but, hopefully I am wrong as our success in 2026 appears to have a heavy reliance on him playing consistently well for us at right centre.

I don’t agree and believe Arthurs is taller, stronger, faster, runs the ball much harder, much better in the air, a better defender and much better in making yardage out of the danger zone. But it’s only an opinion, let’s hope To’a proves Wests Tigers, yourself and quite a few others correct and...

Just an educated guess as I don’t think Arthurs will stay at Broncos while not being part of their top 17. He is definitely an NRL quality player and has proven it over a number of years. As I stated, it’s not likely we would bring him in and offload To’a who we only recently re-signed, but if...

Below is a potential squad list for 2026 that I believe could take us from unlikely to make the top 8 to become likely to make the top 8. - Assuming we offload Bud Sullivan and Jack Bird. - Obviously Latu Fainu will not be playing NSW Cup, but it’s rumoured he will miss the early rounds of 2026...

Not sure if we can afford both. If we could only have one of them, I’d take Takakai as he adds plenty of leg speed and power ball running as well as his versatility to play as a middle forward, an edge forward or as a centre if required.

Hopoate’s father threatened Richo at a function earlier this season, so that could jeopardise that potential move. I don’t mind Jack Hetherington as a potential depth option, but he seems like a player that is hard for coaches to get his attitude right. I’m not sure if he’s worth the hassle at...

It’s no secret the Bulldogs want a big name match winning fullback, so that could mean someone like Curran could become available to create cap space for them to throw big money at a fullback. For the record I’m tipping they end up with Jaxon Purdue or A J Brimson, watch this space. Did I read...

If we are purely talking middle forward depth, Fletcher Baker must come under consideration. He was showing plenty of promise at the Roosters, but it hasn’t quite worked out for him at the Broncos. He has been a standout in recent weeks for the Burleigh Bears who will play against the Warriors...

I reckon Luke Jack could potentially be a similar style of player to Ray Stone being a lightweight, but high energy versatile forward who leads the defensive line with his line speed. I would be giving him the off season to see how he is with service from dummy half to see if he can become...

💯 A coach being close to his players can be a huge positive, but there is a fine line in potentially becoming too loyal to some who may not be performing up to their contract value. For the record I don’t think Benji coaching us is our problem. Getting the right playing roster with the right...

I don’t think Sheens will pick up Benji’s calls just quietly. Nothing sticks out to say Benji is doing anything wrong from a tactical or coaching messages and instructions point of view. Our playing style definitely improved in the latter part of the 2025 season, so that’s a good sign to...

I know we haven’t got much cap space available and that’s a major problem within itself as it clearly shows we are over paying and/or overspending on some of our currently contracted players.

Which of our 1-7 particularly our 1-5 make either two of the teams playing today ? As for our 1-5 I rate Taylan May as a better player than Shibasaki and very even with Casey McLean and Jerome Luai is still a better all round player than Blaize Talagi at this stage of their careers, but not as...

It has to be a gee up mentioning Sterlo. Brilliant player in his day, but he has not been actively involved in coaching and would not be up to date with the modern structures. I know we were perusing Cooper Cronk, maybe we are not willing to pay what he is asking ?

Hopefully Levi as he is a physical defender, something we don’t have within any 9’s currently on our books.

I don’t think Stef and Papali’i were as bad for us as some think, both walk into our top 13 if we still had them. However we have a Salary Cap to balance and the figures I have seen mentioned are Stef was being offered 800k per season by us, signed with Storm for 750k. Papali’i was being paid...

It would be much better if we spent our Salary Cap that is given to us by the NRL wisely.

Which players does he manage that could be possibilities of signing with us ?
