I know from speaking to my son that he had over 10 clubs after him and he presently leads the whole Jersey Flegg comp for metres gained and tackle busts. Great work from Shannon Gallant and Benji getting back on of our own. Seen this kid tearing it up for a long time in our local comp. Won a SG Ball comp with the Roosters and was leading try scorer for them.

I think he will be like a Chris Lawrence, if he is only half as good as him its a win for us.

Has been ticking all the right boxes since he originally left! Looking forward to seeing him come back through our pathways now!

Another player I'd be looking to get back is Navren Willett from Manly (off contract Nov 1).

Not one of our juniors but recruited to SG Ball from Taree 3 or 4 years ago before being let go to Manly. He is 200cm with aerial ability & some decent finishing although not super quick (but at least as quick as a Daniel Tupou).

I appreciate that but we already have
Javon
Latu
Madden
Doueihi
Schuster

Nasser apparently back as well.

What are you going to do with the ones you mentioned? It's a bit crowded in the halves.

I think we should invest heavily into Javon in the off season. For mine he has all the attributes to be a great running 6. Fair enough he has not played top grade and you never know. I'd probably start next year with latu at 7 and AD at 6 but probably by half way through the season Javon replaces AD and AD becomes our 14 or Mr Fix It should injury occur.

I remember him....h didnt kick on here or at Manly it seems
Im assuming as a depth player?
Id hope we.could get better...at least NRL.capable depth
 
BlackWhiteGold said:
Yeah purely depth but he is still progressing and could provide another point of difference which we lack (tall wingers).

Does anyone know if players such as Junior Tupou, Jack Attard, Tino Tavana and Mikey Nasser are on Development, Train & Trial or NRL Top 30 contracts for 2027?
I assume that Benji’s preferred 1-5 to start the 2027 season will be 1. Bula 2. Turuva 3. Averillo 4. May 5. Makasini.
I am assuming Jack Attard moves into top 30 as our back up fullback depending on his development and form, with Jake Averillo also an option as fullback cover.
We then have 4 top 30 back up outside back positions to fill pending whether or not we decide to retain Jeral Skelton and Solo Saukuru and depending on whether any of Junior Tupou, Tino Tavana and Mikey Nasser are top 30 contracted?

Great kid @Bellend always shakes your hand and says hello. This signing is a win for us. We need to bring back - Conti, Large, Clarke brothers and Aidan Gow, I will be a very happy person

Ashton Large yes please, but we have blown the opportunity with Conti and the Clarke Brothers, Bad administration has cost us. Aidan Gow Knights will not let him go, he is very quick.

I am then assuming Jack Attard is too 30 as our back up fullback depending on his development and firm, with Jake Averillo also an option as fullback cover.
We then have 4 top 30 back up positions from 2-5.
So depending on whether Junior Tupou and possibly Mikey Nasser or Tino Tavana are parr of our top 30, we might only have 1 or 2 outside back positions left available and we still likely naming a decision on players such as Jeral Skelton and Solo Saukuru.

No official way at the moment unfortunately @Vicious

Club is not really clear on which players are on which deals. Sometimes it's mentioned when they are signed or extended. For example, Attard & Tavana are both development next season before top 30 in 2028.

The list in the roster thread is probably as accurate as any.
