Official Signings, Transfers & Recruitment Discussion 2026

surely croft is depth, or at most competing with sexton

wishart has gotta be there 6 so far
I'd have been looking at Shart as a 6 but they also don't have a hooker (besides a development contract guy)

Humphreys or Paix/Turpin/Verrills/Walters at 9, Croft can fight for a spot and get a fullback that can bump Meaney to wing/centre and it's a small improvement

1 Tuipiki/Kennedy/Tracey/Fuller
2 Russell
3 Meaney
4 Newman/Vea'ila
5 Laulilii
6 Wishart
7 Sexton
9 Humphreys

With a bit of luck that could almost push into mid teens on the ladder!

I actually like Sexton and Wishart as a halves pairing.
Shart (is that a real nickname?) has been, on average, excellent every time he's played the position.
Sexton helped the Dogs to the top of the table. It was just his bad luck that Gould had such a hard-on for Galvin.
I don't think Meaney will be fullback or Humphrey's the 9 by the time the recruitment is done. I'll reevaluate if they are though..!

haha I've seen it a few times, but... hasn't fully caught on...
 
Might make sense if the rumours about Wishart being brought in as a 9 are true. I still think he’s a better 6 and his style would suit Sexton as a halves partner, but it sounds like they’re eyeing Wishart as a 9.
They'd be a true controlling/running half combo. I think it'd work .But plenty of signing to come
 
I’m still waiting to hear from Mal about the set up and running of “Bears Forever”

@bort
Any whispers or updates on this on your end??

Did you try that link? Weird that it redirects to some US dental company. Was expecting something completely different.
