Kobe would be great to lock down the 13 & move Bird to an edge. But looks like Seyfarth may be getting the gig. The one off contract at the end of 2025 & able to negotiate now is Harrison Hassett from Penrith. There's been rumours before & obviously have come to nothing but he's the one we...

Not yet. Richo said they would sit down after Xmas

Sione deal in for 1 year but I assume it'll be 2 as a minimum. Lachlan Broederlow's Development deal added for 2026 as well.

Updated by not 100% of the Sione deal. I assume 2 years but have just 1 in for now. Also added Lachlan Broederlow's Development deal for 2026.

I think it will be Latu at 7 & Doueihi at 6. The latest photos shows Toa at right centre. They will both get a run in NRL throughout the year but I think Ackland or Naden will play halves in NSW Cup at some point as well.

May has agreed to terms & would have definitely signed something. Is being paid otherwise he wouldn't be at training or doing media. The question is where is the Miller situation up to. We seemed to have 31 players signed but when the squad was released Faagutu no longer there. Paid out you'd...

Twas the week before Xmas... You'd assume Jayden Sullivan & John Bateman's fate gets sealed this week. All parties would want to move forward returning after the break.

Yep plus whatever we top up Bateman with as well. Been said before Panthers when Gould came along paid $1m for players playing elsewhere. The cap was much smaller then. We will likely be paying $600-$650K for Sullivan & Bateman. But remember currently Galvin in $250K in 2025. Unless he...

Looking at the photos from today where there was an opposed session. You'd have to think the black shirts was the NRL side & Orange the Cup side. Can anyone confirm that?

Maybe at 13. Cotter to be play prop. It has been widely spoken about Taumalolo playing less minutes & even less games to manage his knee. Makes sense.

He signed $2.4m over 4 years so that's $600k a year. We are apparently happy to pay him out $900k. So you'd suggest we pay $300k & Souths get him for $300k. Fair deal if you ask me. I would hope they'd be paying $350k. But hey it's a spot we need vacant & we have more than enough halves depth...

Exactly it's a business transaction! He has been nothing but positive.

Yep. Can't blame him really. When he signed we didn't know anything about Galvin, 2 wooden spoons in a row. Benji untested. None of the other 5 signings had signed. It's a much different environment now. He got us Turuva & May for 3 years. Plus he has got a guaranteed $1.2m. Not church...

It's not that bad. We have him locked for 2 years. Dylan Brown has a similar thing for like 5 or 6 years. He signed on & showed faith. It's a business after all. People need to calm down.

@Jolls - Great write up. Given your detail I assume your across possibilities to fill the void of Bateman in 2026. Who do you like outside the club for right backrow? Or you think someone will lock it down within. Interesting the article today saying if Bateman goes to the Bunnies we are...

Sione upgrade. That's a done deal

Love it but I think Twal makes the 17. Sione probably 18th man. But as pointed out round 1 TDS starting 9 & Latu at 14. Then Api back after that. Competition for the 14 jersey & bench forwards. Also competition for the backs. How good!

I know Richo has said it before but a team needs the cream. 7-8 juniors & the hard workers. They have a 3 year recruitment plan & I take out of that they still have a few moves they want to complete. I assume the positions identified are centre, 2nd row & possibly lock. You can't be anything...

Another junior signing been about 3 others lately. Seemed we are strengthening from the ground up.

I still think Bateman lands at the Dragons or Bunnies. Dragons apparently shown interest, they need a point for difference as Flanno Jnr & Illias both very plain structured players. Bateman at 13 there suits. Flanno Snr is known for landing a deal, I think Richo is playing hard ball given the...
