Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tom Shines]

Nelson has reportedly signed a letter of intent to go to Rugby 360. Not an option.

Provided R360 gets off the ground …

My gut feeling is that even if he is available I think Richo says no …

That makes 7 on development deals... Someone must have an upgrade or paid out?

 

[Nonotmeagain]

The Olam experience cut deep that's for sure, but some ex-forwards took form to other teams, not all ended up busted.

Finucane comes to mind!

Or does it mean 2026 starts as a development deals then into a top 30 spot?

I just looked up Broderlow, clearly says on WT website a development deal for 2026.

Roberts & Murray announced recently.

Goodinet, Haywood & Taupua-Moors says they have extended to 2027, 2028 & 2028 respectively. But fail to to say when development. Haywood states top 30 for 27 & 28.

Anyone know for sure?

Pretty much how you have it - that makes 7 on development contracts (out of 6 spots available).

Yep Godinet & CTP are development next season too.

Kaufusi and Bromwich bros were handy pickups after storm.

 

[weststigers]

You're speculating or simply consuming the shit peddled by journos after a story. What are the issues?

It's fact they are missing 6 forwards who are out with injuries, that took them to the 2nd week of finals last season.

The DCE saga is not an injury issue

If it invoves the Dogs, Gus knows nothing about it

Dogs could do with another utility... Jack Bird come on down

I thought the only time Manly looked dangerous apart from in the first minute was when DCE had the ball. Things didn't come off in that game but if he doesn't fire they all look lost - including Brooks.

I agree with you here, media are all bashing DCE and TBH he was the only player having a go and creating. Yes, his defence was poor, but no poorer than it usually is. Problem was the defenders on either side of him were not doing their job, he is exposed in defence without Olakuato beside him.

Something about WTs being asked if they take trade-ins.

 

[Demps]

Warriors extend bright young forward

He will remain with the club until the end of 2027.

His highlight reel is crazy

Warriors back row production line is so good

Dogs might be enquiring about the warranty status of Galvin

So maximum 6 development players allowed...

And we've got;

1. Javon Andrews [ @jrtiger , your mail was right]
2. Ethan Roberts
3. Lachlan Broederlow
4. Charlie Murray
5. Phoenix Godinet
6. Jared Haywood
7. Christian Taupau-Moors

Wonder who's getting the cut?

You would probably assume its the guy who's at least 3 years older than everyone else, but who knows.

They may also move Broederlow or Murray to a full-time Cup contract.

It was odd though saying.
2026: Development ➡️Top 30.

Maybe he gets upgraded before June 30?

But I agree Broederlow seems to be the one.

That makes 27 official for 2026 right now. Again, still with Sullivan on the books & no Taylan May as yet.

For those who care Cameron Kanaan did a pec earlier in the year and is off contract with a few offers including one from us. Loves the club and wants to stay though.

His signed with Penrith I’m hearing
