What's the latest on pole and sione faiunu have they said they want to go on the open market? Or are we negotiating in the background?

No , manly asked really nice if they could have them and we folded, will pay there Uber bill to get them to manly . Sick of manly raiding our players

Watching nsw cup there’s a prop there that we should have a crack at , Hamlin - uele, he’s 29 played 30 minutes straight, hit it up hard and worked really hard in defence, he is way down the sharks pecking order , he would be better as a starter than hunt

Ah @user118245 ...I remember when you first joined the forum. Seems like only a week ago... 🤣

You will never believe what I’m about to say 🤣

Here's a backrower I hope we're looking at
Jacob Laban – another 2024 NRL debutant – claimed the other spot in the back-row. He is the sole TOTY representative from the fourth-placed Warriors, producing seven tries and leading his position for tackle-busts (65), while averaging 30 tackles and 109 run metres.

The face doesn’t make it look like they’re catching a nuclear bomb. Mason just seemed scared under the high ball

That is just confidence and experience, he has plenty of heart, so courage is not the problem IMO

And each year Benji's experience will grow.

As a few others on here have already said I believe Joey Walsh is the plan for half back. Captain for the the under 20’s Australian Union team earlier this year & was in the roosters Jnr system. If that doesn’t work out I’d say you are on the money tho, long way off before needing to worry about any of that thankfully

Roosters like NRL ready players NOW...so theyll be happy for the young local with a rugby pedigree (cough) to compete for the 7 slot,but if Latu fulfills his promise on the field next year at WTs..he will DEFINITELY be a target
Chad Townsend aint a long term plan..

 

[clontarfkid]

And each year Benji's experience will grow.

The question mark is whether Benjis growing "experience" will actually translate to learning..and results??
Fiji holiday may still be calling...?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

They both seem to be growing at the same time. Uncanny.

He's had a lot of injury issues.

He looked great today

Well we all might get updated this week when the awards night happens.

Hopefully a few say Fairwell and maybe Pole and Galvin announce they are extending.

We can all dream

Awards night not for another 2 weeks.

 

[happy_tiger]

Just read the Roosters still have 7 spots open for 2025 ......it just shows you how far off other clubs our recruitment and retention is .....

2 weeks ... Deadset it will have been like 6 weeks after our season and nearly Pre-season before this happens. 😳

 

[rihannafan1]

I totally agree.

We need to stamp this out now and going forward.

One comment that really sticks with me from Bateman "Benji is treating the Senior players like Juniors and Juniors like Seniors".

If we allow our Junior stars to become Big heads and start writing their own contract demands, even before they are the "next big thing" then were doing it 100% wrong. Large hasn't played first grade.

I dont think that's what Bateman was referring to though. Although he just said it and didn't explain anything then ran off to England.
