The Rumours Thread

I would prefer him to Suli. He can play centre and back row and is the same type of player in the centres if not better.

[The Word]

Yeah pretty much what most of us suspected that there will be a few players available in November that we’ll go hard at and when we know the outcome of that we will fill the rest with either upgrades to juniors or one year contracts for blokes like Klem. Wish there could be more certainty but that’s just the way it is. If we can’t jag any big players for 2027 then we will have no choice but to back our juniors big time and hope for the best. Not the most uplifting outlook tbh.

Sounds like our recruitment is relying on a wing and a prayer rather than being able to close deals with players they really want…. If the above is their strategy we are in serious trouble for next season

So the 26 players in our squad numbers includes both Fale and Ilias at present??
No news about N Quinn from either the Dragons or Souths.
I am always sceptical about any signing news on Zero Tackle.

26 including Fale and not Illias.
Quinn if signed will be a Cup signing nothing to do with top 30.

We sh


we should make him a good offer well worth the risk

Cleary, same age as Reed, signed with Warriors until 2027 AND the coach preferred Boyd to Cleary for the State Cup GF due to Cleary's inexperience. We all saw the bravura performance Boyd put in on the day against the Brisbane team (following his demolition of Ilias the week before).

IMO, Boyd is the experienced interim half we go after for 2026 until Reed is ready. Boyd is way better than Kyle, and despite being under contract for 2026, would be more likely to be released than Cleary.

Having said that, probably won't happen for all the reasons mentioned here already and Kyle (now an international from his PNG joke game) will probably be steering the ship once again.
