Official Signings, Transfers & Recruitment Discussion

[Gumby]

But surely the Broncos would have players in their squad coming off contract at the end of 2025?

Was going off what i said about them trying to sign him for 2025. His salary would be in next years cap which i believe they're already over after signing Hunt.

 

[bort]

Yeah they could easily find a way to fit him 26
And you’re right Gumby I guess it doesn’t imply he wants to go there early haha, just they want that

 

[djhabib]

Flanno under AFB would be more interesting

Not my proudest wank

 

[stormshark]

He's a WA boy and grew up in Newcastle it says. So yeah not sure. Broncos i believe wanted him early, not sure if he was also keen.

Sort of our Atko Imho, that guy.

Yeah, I’d rather atko though
More of a Tracey I’d say anyway, covers backs well and could do halves in a pinch. Atko kind of other way around

 

[Gumby]

Volkmann who was rumoured to be coming to us, is set to sign with Parra.

I’d say our interest probably cooled a bit when it became clear Atko was going nowhere.

 

[Thresher]

This is the least excited I think I've ever seen a newly contracted player appear in a presser

Siebold has been given a 2 year extension as head coach of Manly.

Raiders, St Merge & Dogs all have tabled an offer to Leo Thompson. Knights also have an offer ready however he’s assessing his options.

Rabbitohs are linked to John Bateman, Brandon Smith along with Matt Lodge (been linked for a while now).

They have money free now due to Ilias getting released as well as receiving salary cap compensation for Cam Murray’s injury (due to it occurring in a rep game).

Is that confirmed? Last I heard he was expected back two weeks earlier than the cut off for compensation (or maybe that was just max compensation).

One of the most underperforming teams of last season + three underperforming loose units
Rabble-ohs

They do have Wayne Bennett though

There is that

I wouldn’t bet against them
But all three of those blokes plus Trell and Walker is a shout to be a real cluster **** if things start to go off the rails

Fingers crossed this happens.

Walker is cooked. I'd expect Trell to be much better, though.

Better than Laurie?

 

[Gumby]

Walker is an absolute dud.

Souths will 10x better next year.

Tatola and Graham are huge ins coming back from injury.

 

[Gumby]

Lewis Dodd could be a gun.
Euan Aiken is solid player.
Josh Schuster - if Bennett gets him firing he could be anything.

That’s a dumb rule

 

[Born&bred]

That’s a dumb rule

I think it's fair actually - rep games are a distraction and a detriment to what is essentially a business.
