They can’t. That’s the issue. No one wants to join them.Crazy wonder where they splash the cash
Can he play halfback ?Adam Reynolds off contract in 24
Throw Moses money at haas?
Sheens would tryCan he play halfback ?
It’s pronounced Doulittle. Please say it correctly.He doesn't deserve to if he keeps picking Douehi and Brooks
I would say him taking the job on suggests he IS delusional. He has always over rated himselfNothing suggests he didn't know what he was in for. He is not delusional. He will stay
Yep recruitment is toughThey can’t. That’s the issue. No one wants to join them.
There's everything wrong with that. Have you ever seen a funnel diagram? Google NFL player funnel and this will make sense.Flegg going to be shit from covid for a couple of years . We investing in hmatts and sg ball, what's wrong with that
Sadly statistic show that about 2 players out of each age group with have an extended NRL career, so most of these in our top 30 will equate to another Kei or FainuOk with our strategy as a development club, I am speculating that we have set a path into the top 30 for the following players:
Josh Feledy (confirmed top 30 in 2024)
Brandon Mansfield (confirmed dev contract in 2023 & 24)
Jahream Bula (speculating top 30 in 2024 if not sooner)
Jordan Miller (speculating dev contract in 2024 & 25, top 30 in 26)
Tallyn Da Silva (speculating dev contract in 2024, top 30 in 25)
Kit Laulilii (speculating dev contract in 2024 & 25, top 30 in 26)
Solomone Saukuru (speculating dev contract in 2024, top 30 in 25)
Chris Faagutu (speculating dev contract in 2024 & 25, top 30 in 26)
Given 6 spots max are for development contracts, I'm speculating the players above are prioritised for those deals (they were all on T&T deals over summer suggesting they are top of the crop).
Then I think the following are the next tier of 18/19yos & earmarked for progress to Dev/top 30 if they can hit certain KPIs:
Tony Sukkar (likely JF contract in 2024)
Oliver Lawry (likely JF contract in 2024)
Cameron Kanaan (likely JF contract in 2024)
Zak Clarke (likely JF contract in 2024)
Lachlan Galvin (SG Ball senior in 2024)
Heath Mason (SG Ball senior in 2024)
Then under this age group who will be contending for development contracts from 2026 (maybe some in 25):
Luke Laulilii, Onitoni Large, Alex Conti, Heamisi Makasini, Mikey Nasser, Ali Karnib, Alex Isdale, Riley Oitmann, PJ French, Paul Johnson, Ashton Large, Edwin Langi, Dougie Tuala.
Most of these players are complete garbage and not up to NRL standard. In saying that, I am not disputing that they would likely improve our squadPlayers I think could boost our squad:
Blake Taaffe- probably as a 5/8. I see him similar in style to Luke Keary, and is behind players at Souths that will always restrict his ability to play First grade in Mitchell, Ilias & Walker.
Paul Momerovski- hear me out. He's defensively solid, makes few mistakes & comes through many good systems- Roosters, Panthers, Storm. He's 38th in the pecking order at the Roosters, but he instantly tidies up our defensive woes out wide. Not flashy. He's Shane Elford. It's Campbell Graham lite. Pushes either Talau if he doesn't recapture his potential or Naden who is a good attacker, but very average defender.
Mawene Hiroti- On the outside looking in at the Sharks. Very capable player in both attack & defence out wide.
Jayden Okunbor- Another on the outside looking in. Last year of his contract- a bigger winger to put opposite Taupo on the other side.
When discussing Signing suggestions, its important to note that after releasing Ken, we are $1m under the Cap THIS SEASON. Awesome Recruitment team!!!
The Club has forfeited 2023 just like they did 2022.
They still need to spend the moneyCrazy wonder where they splash the cash
We have bugger all kids coming through and noone wants to come.
