Decent depth signing, which is what we are crying out for. Need 3 or 4 more like it

Let's just hope it's not 3 or 4 more hookers. 🙃 🤣 🐯
I like this & the Averillo signing.
Smart recruitment.
But yeah, need a few more.

Club must have a plan , hooker was not a spot I thought we needed much cover with Haywood and Lanyon , but who knows , maybe Hunt and Bunty are staying so no props coming and until we sign SamF are we holding out adding an up and com8ng Backrower or if Sam goes head for a top liner Backrower

We’ve been doing a lot more business with Titans Sport lately. Averillo, Brailey, Toops, Javon, Ethan Roberts & junior / nrlw deals

Didn't we hear about this last week? Does this mean that the leakers are still in business? (said in a quiet tone so as not to alert them to the fact that they are found out, shhh!) 🥸🤣🐯

I can't say that Jayden Brayley has jumped off the page to me since his move to Canberra. He was a reasonable starter at Newcastle before he left them so I have had a dig into his preformances for the "Green Machine". But before we dig into the stats why is he departing Canberra one year into a two year deal?
I'm in the Yass Valley so there is plenty of Green out my way and I,ve not heard anything bad about his attitude or performances. In fact, him slotting in at 13 has had him described as a Team First player. Basically he came to the capital looking for a fresh start but ran straight into a dummy-half traffic jam with Tom Starling and rookie Owen Pattie in the mix. Pattie came on quicker than most expected so Ricky had him playing as a hybrid lock/14 super sub instead of letting him rot in reserve grade.
His stats aren't anything special but certainly solid:
Games: 16 NRL 3 KoE
NRL Starts: 7 mostly at lock and 9 games off the pine as the 14
KoE Starts: 3 at hooker
Tackles: NRL 322 at 96% efficiency 76 in Cup (couldn't find the efficiency)
Line Breaks/Try Assists: NRL 0 KoE 1 Try Assist (Grubber)
How does he fit in @ WT for 2027?
Let's be real; he isn't coming to replicate Api's dynamic; he provides crisp service, can back up at 13 if required, and fills a defensive hole. With Api getting older, Brailey gives Benji some NRL flexibility while Haywood develops. He has the defensive ability to start at 9 in a dual hooker system and slot in @ 13 if required while Haywood gets a season of KoE under his belt
What are our thoughts? Pair him with Api in a dual Hooker role, use him as a 14 or have fight with Haywood and potentially play 9 in Cup.
I do expect that this means the departure of Hope; what's in the future for Lanyon?

Why? He's had an ACL and an Achilles, plus he's 30.
Terrible signing. His brother would have been the goods.

Another signing who can’t crack 1st grade from a team who didnt make the finals.
Maybe we can sign Blayke when Api signs with the Bears 🤔
