Nawaqanitawase has told the roosters his going back to union in 2027

I wonder if it's just for the year. Being a world cup year in Australia I can see the pull for him.

Dave Moale to Manly on a 3 year deal. According to Fox Sports, Souths are trying to create cap room to sign David Fifita.

Should have plenty once we’ve punted cheese and Dodd?

Why would Dodd leave his paid holiday?

If he does leave Souths are doing something dodgy

Fifita ain’t coming cheap

Burton to centre Xerri to wing and Montoya punted makes more sense

Dogs should have just kept Sexton, although SOS has played for Penrith before, so he ticks that box for Doggies recruitment.

Dogs should have just kept Sexton...

That's crap and childish. Gus and Ciraldo know what they're doing.

I know, but if Sexton is willing to go to super league, I reckon he would have stayed at Dogs and honed his craft in NSW Cup... if given the choice.

Sexton wanted twice as much money as O'Sullivan is going to get. With Woods being primed for next year, it removes any roadblocks in front of him, and ensure's there is no talk that Sexton should be taking his place if he has a bad game, like rookies do. Just means that the guys at NRL 360 will need to continue to run Galvin articles all next year.

He will be back for Perth or even png

He might be boring but he does the job he has too

A little bit more info about Turbo's contract. If accurate, it really says Tony Mestrov as CEO must be kept on a very short leash by the Manly board.

Dunno why they got him their attack is lit as it is

Need some more forwards to replace their aging pack

Umm, that's great and all, but Peter Gentle was the one doing the dealing with Turbos manager.

Click bait article, as usual, for those chumps.

The Bulldogs must be gluttons for punishment. Below is part of an article from the Sydney Morning Herald (source: https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/nrl-around-the-clubs-finals-week-three-20250922-p5mwud.html) -

Bulldogs in talks with former Knights coach Adam O’Brien​

By Michael Chammas, Roy Ward, Billie Eder and Dan Walsh​

September 25, 2025 — 2.47pm

The Canterbury Bulldogs are in talks with former Newcastle coach Adam O’Brien about a role with the club next season.

Bulldogs officials met with O’Brien on Thursday to discuss the prospect of him becoming the club’s attack coach in 2026.

Jason Taylor, who currently coaches the Dogs’ attack, still has another year to run on his contract and is expected to move to a new role if O’Brien signs.

Manly have also shown interest in signing O’Brien as an assistant coach, but sources with knowledge of the situation talking on the condition of anonymity said O’Brien was leaning towards the Bulldogs.

O’Brien spent a decade working as an assistant to Craig Bellamy at Melbourne and a season under Trent Robinson at the Roosters before being head-hunted for the Knights’ top job as Nathan Brown’s successor.

The Bulldogs believe O’Brien’s experience and knowledge can boost an attack that came under fire for large parts of 2025.

I mean, did the Bulldogs not notice what the Kinghts attack was like this season just gone?
