haha I'll just take some guesses based on past rumours and our need for forwards. Could be a shot at Tino, Kikau or NAS. The first two have put feelers out and it is then up to clubs to make the money available to afford them. Let's see what happens.

Javon Andrews seems like a good prospect. I was interested to read that he is keen to come to WTs because of Marshall. Well done.

Also, looking at the Titan's under 20 team, one of the players on the bench is Oscar Laffranchi. Our Laffranchi if my memory is correct was from Northern NSW?

Sounding out a few according to an agents brother.

Sounds like our guys are switched on to improve the squad.

Tino... now that would be immense. Massive motor same as TDM.

Laffranchi has 2 sons in the Titans junior system. The other one is a couple of years younger.

I wouldn't be buying Kikau at 30 years of age on big money. I think it would best serve out goal to keep him at the Dogs.

If he is available and wants to come here I’ll take him …the Bulldogs can kick in a couple hunge next year to help us afford him …

Same with NAS. But id say middles are a priority now?
Gotta be targeting Tino, surely.

He was a very good footballer Laffranchi and so it is good to know his sons are playing.

I think NAS is a liability. He does way too many stupid things in games now for my liking.

The Butcher brothers are rare Roosters juniors, they won’t let them go.

Rare Roosters juniors who played junior reps for Souths 🥴

He's on the coaching staff at the Titans.
You can see him blowing up at the Penrith trainer behind JC

Edit: Google says he's the GM Of Football @ the Titans

Ryles planning to name Dylan Brown in the centres this week.

Always felt this would be his best position.

Has Bailey Simonsen upset though, as mentioned.

Will be an interesting watch.

Yes, a few dynamics going on there. 👀

So Brown has been playing cup since signing the Knights million+ dollar deal?

For those who see a lot of cup, has brown been killing it at that level?

Terrell May should be the player of the year by the length of the straight ….AD has never won it…. The last two winners are Bula and Sam F…two players you have been critical of plenty of times… now the award means something ?

AD had had injuries sure but he has disappointed on field plenty of times he has been here ..it’s the consistency that’s been in question, and hence why he has only one other team interested in him

jebus i hope as a fan base we dont belittle the absolutely gi-normous impact May has had. He IS our forward pack, others contribute a bi,t but week in week out he plays huge minutes, huge impact, carries us without a doubt.
Easily player of the year

I think NAS is perfect. Big impact, scary and takes the pressure off TDM. He could be what we wanted hunt to be. Long shot but if we got him and hunt back to decent form that would turn our pack around. I know its a big if. NAS for 20 hunt for 20 then fill the rest with our workers like twal pole and big red

Canberra has so many outside backs and just added the young gun, Sione Finau from the Dragons...

I'd be asking questions - Chevy Stewart is the one exploring his options... but, I'd be asking about Sav Tamale who dates one of our NRLW players. He's a really good player.

I'm unsure if the above is your opinion or you have insight into what the club is actually planning, but that looks absolutely shithouse. Naden and Staines offer more value on 1 yr deals than that squad.

To'a - same old To'a, will play 2 or 3 great games, but be a passenger, even a liability if the injury isn't bad enough to force him to miss games.
Mason - confidence is shot, his development has been handled poorly
Lualilii - still has a way to go, and another midget like Mason and Turuva
Makasini - see Mason and Lualilii above - is young needs a full NRL preseason and games playing reserve grade for development.
Saukuru - I watch the lower grades, he is not a centre or winger anymore and the club has realised this shifting him closer to the ruck as an edge forward. Can be lazy and a tonne of improvement required in defence.
Bird - this club still has massive issues if he lines up anywhere but on the bench in reserve grade in 2026, and even that's a waste of a spot. Name him in Massey so he can ask for a release.

Tu'itupou - is a strong ball carrier, but he has defensive brain fades which is why souths let him go and he was way behind in the pecking order in Canberra during pre-season.
Mapapalangi - he's one to persist with. Has been outstanding in the halves for reserve grade, but has been named in the centres recently. Seems to be able to cover a few positions.

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.
