Shame … thats both him and Mason out now…
Like to see Sukkar to start, Kitt to bench.
Surely Royce comes into our 17 now ?
Still think we need 5 external recruits.
with some comings and goings, some internal upgrades, etc.
1 back up hooker - Brendan Hands [Parramatta]
1 x Experienced forward - Tyson Frizzell [Knights]
1 x damaging young backrower - Kayliss Fatialofa
1 x bench prop - Lazarus Vaalepu
1 x depth prop - Trey Mooney, Villiami Fifita
Internally;
Izaac Tui'Tupou
Krystian Mapapalangi
Charlie Staines [extended]
Should see us shape a better, well rounded top 30

Kayliss is top of my wish list for next year and any of the 3 props you mentioned would be great to add depth. Not a big Brendan Hands fan, but we certainly need a backup hooker with some experience. I like @jrtiger idea of getting Havilii from Souths as a back up 9 option who can play a bit of lock.

David Fifita for starters.
Tatola has slipped to Bennett’s bench. Bring him home.
Hands can do a job at hooker.
I am not, can’t effectively play 80 minutes now, what’s he going to be like in 2 years time?

One of the snippets in DT Sports Confidential tonight …
PANTHER CUB COULD BE ON THE MOVE
Former schoolboys star Harrison Hassett made his first grade debut with the Panthers earlier this year but he could be on the move as he prepares to test himself on the open market along with Mavrik Geyer, the son of Penrith legend Mark Geyer.
Hassett and Geyer are both off contract at the end of the year. Hassett opted to stay at Penrith two years ago despite significant interest from the Dolphins at the time.
He was rewarded with a taste of first grade earlier this year and it is believed the Panthers are keen to keep him. However, Sport Confidential understands that he and Geyer have appeared on the radar of rival clubs in recent weeks.

ORIGIN STAR ON THE OUTER
He is the Queensland Origin squad member without a home for 2026.
Dolphins prop Josh Kerr has been shopped to the Broncos as the Redcliffe cult hero looks to continue his career in the NRL next season.
Kerr has been rewarded for his brilliant recent run of form, named as Queensland’s 19th man for the Origin decider against NSW this Wednesday night in Sydney.
Despite his addition to Camp Maroon this week, Kerr remains off-contract at the Dolphins and salary-cap pressures threaten to squeeze him out of Redcliffe.
Dolphins coach Kristian Woolf is keen to keep Kerr but the 29-year-old is exploring the open market as a free agent.
His management have offered his services to the Broncos but it’s understood Brisbane bosses have no plans to make a formal play for the athletic Indigenous All Stars forward.
Kerr has amassed 108 NRL games since his debut for the Dragons in 2019 and has produced some outstanding performances over the past two years for the Dolphins.
Kerr is happy at the Dolphins but made it clear recently he won’t be short-changed as he looks to secure his NRL future.
“We’ve had chats with my manager and missus and that too, I’m very happy and comfortable here. It’s my junior club, I want to see it succeed.
“However, I’ve done the thing in the past where I thought I was playing for love at a club but you learn very quickly it’s a business and they don’t really give a shit.
“There’s a difference between loving a club and wanting to play for it and them having a look at that and taking advantage of that.
“I’m never going to be put in that position ever again and as hard as it could be (to leave) … I want to stay, but I will never do that again.
“I will never be that person that gets taken advantage of by a club ever again, that’s something I’m very strong on.”
BRONCOS GO COLD ON STORM HULK
Storm grand-final prop Tui Kamikamica’s rumoured move to the Broncos has fallen through, opening the door for an English Super League move.
Sport Confidential revealed a fortnight ago that Kamikamica’s manager had offered his services to the Broncos for next season to bolster their front-row stocks following the exit of Martin Taupau.
Broncos coach Michael Maguire was open to the idea and did some due diligence with Brisbane’s recruitment-and-retention team.
But the Broncos have opted not to make an offer for the off-contract prop, who played in last year’s grand final against Penrith and is captain of the Fijian national team.
The Storm are battling salary-cap pressures but have not given up hope of retaining the monstrous 31-year-old, who may have to take a pay cut on his current deal of around $400,000 to stay in Melbourne.
Kamikamica had all-but sewn up a deal with South Sydney but coach Wayne Bennett was forced to abandon his pursuit due to salary-cap constraints.
Warrington coach Sam Burgess is understood to be keen on the hulking Fijian and could win his services if the Storm are unable to come to terms with the 126-game veteran.

Good riddance to the entitled prick! He's gonna cop some heat at the Dragqueens!

If it's not Drags, it'll be NQ or Manly - all coached by Moses clients.
