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

What has happened to Bird? What's the injury?

Just thought I'd share

You'd say To'a still not 100% & if he isn't Koula will burn him hard. Naden won't play NRL again for us after the social media incident. Masi has got speed & big body. His task would be simple. Defend well & a few carries out of our end. Both achievable.

Any know what hold with the Roberts signing from the Roosters is. Cooling off period? Nothing officially announced as yet.

Fair enough. You can't argue with who has a contract for next year though. So we will have to work with what we have unless a few others a moved on.

So overall we know 100% we have 5 development spots sorted for next year. Andrews unlikely, Roberts maybe... Time will tell. Either we have 1 spare development spot or 1 spare Top 30 spot once the May & Sullivan deals are done.

Once Roberts & Doueihi are confirmed that's 29. Taylan to be signed to make 30. Sullivan will go once Dodd moves on. Do we really think Naden gets the last spot? I would be leaning towards another middle. Taateo surely would get it or the last development spot. Richos next move is free up a...

Agreed Izzac & Krystian will be full year T & T

Luke Luailli, Heath Mason & Jeral Skelton. Adam Doueihi as centre depth. Bird & Saukuru will also unlikely be in the 17. You assume Izzac stays on a T&T. Bula/Mason Turuva/Luailli To'a/Bird May/Saukuru Makasini/Skelton

At least Sullivan was cheaper than Dodd. Only problem Souths will wanna cover that damage as much as possible

I would suggest they have looked who we have off contract & taken a stab... We haven't got TayMay locked in for next year. That's priority 1... Naden or Staines maybe... But only one of them... Porter no given he hasn't played NRL this year & is only a development deals currently

All good. Agree on the other 5 development spots. The word around is Tavana would be ideal & to be honest makes sense as all others on development deals are forwards. Andrews you'd assume top 30 but there was a bit of talk it was a development for next year.

Big takeaway is Richo has identified our shortcomings. Now have depth in the havles, backs & backrow. In a perfect world a Lock & Front Rower then we are pretty good. If Doueihi stays it's basically a front rower. Notable that it's seems unlikely Staines or Naden get a gig. I would like to...

Andrews I believe is dev next year. No clarity in the press release, it's an assumption. I am unsure what you mean, there is 27 confirmed. @BlackWhiteGold, I think stated Kit was here for next year. Happy to be corrected.
