awfully quiet out of concord lately….

Mate always is at this time of the year unless you’re shopping around the cellar dewlers. Usually have to wait to after the GF for the big stuff to fall from the tree

True, hope Liles & Matai do stick around on NSW Cup deals especially Max Liles.

Think Jhevon Lele (Magpies) & Christian Azzi (Tigers) have very bright futures ahead and will be playing SG Ball next season. Hopefully Curtis Lakeman (Magpies) as well although he went a bit off the boil this season.

Cohen Benson (Balmain running 5/8) moves up to Flegg next season & is managed by Richo Jr 😉 Been playinjg some Macarthur A grade too so getting used to playing against bigger bodies.

We massively overhype our halves talent . Always have . We’ve only really had 2 elite halves talents recently for their age group ( not including Latu) Voldemort , and Funnily enough Jock Madden ( much like Latu we bought at 18yo).
I mean even we all lament losing Conti , and he was a bench player for The NSW team . Not even combined . It was one of the 2 of private and public school teams .( I can’t remember which ) .
They’re all huge long shots to ever get past KOE. Maybe with the 3 teams over the next 10 years , so most top 40s would usually have 4 halves and another hybrid , there’s another 15 nrl spots available Z which is SwEET FA when you think about the amount of kids each year who show talent like Tannous brothers .
I think they will have to recruit a halfback or 2 for flegg though . We have an abundance of five Eights , but I can’t name many halves in that age group .

IMO he was overrated. Slower than Galvin. Will not be missed.

By that photo goes to the same quality barber

10th Oct as Club awards night should give us a better understanding of players leaving.

The only 2 up in the air imo are Naden & Bird. The others leaving we know about.

I think there might be a Smokey for another one leaving outside these 2 - no info just a gut feeling

Disappointing as we had seemed to put a lot into Marc’s development. Thought he really progressed this season as a game managing halfback. Not x-factor, just solid. His main area of weakness imo is his running game & ability to dart through the line. Not sure if slower than Galvin.

I would say the recruitment of Javon Andrews knocked Marc back a peg in the halves depth chart but still we’re not bursting with game managing halves in that 19yo+ age.

thanks Pal

Apparently we are going after Jack Hetherington alongside Manly

Wouldn’t add anything to this team.
Need a difference maker, a pack leader, intimidator.
600k for Nelson with Storm throwing in 200k on top

Sign sifa talaki

Rowley would be a good get imo but I don't think the club would pay what he could get a head coach in ESL, maybe wrong! Plus he doesn't fit our recruitment model of being aligned with Benji lol

what is the price differential between a QLD Host+ Esl ,Reggies?

I'm gonna need a minute....

We should be aiming for players like Burton AND more power and aggression in the middle.

We have three sports and about $800k ( supposedly) left for 2026… what’s Burton signing here for ?

His long kicking game and damaging running unless you think we have enough of that?
