2025 Squad List

[BLM01]

Christian Nicolussi has reported that we have zero interest in Brodie Croft

Sharks and Storm both do not want to release Atkinson and Wishart respectively

As of now options are Illias and Doueihi

Only for 2025
26 signings different deal

They still have to buy someone for 2026 bcs we do not have anyone coming through.

That’s when I think they are trying to get Atkinson or Wishart

Yeah we know that but 2025 is the current problem they need to fix and for that it is Illias or Doueihi

Flanno said if it takes another 1-2 weeks.. he wont be rushed.. my suspicion is we want Atkinson for 2025.. but were not getting the release.. atleast not yet.. but we can keep pushing..

It rly stuffs us if we cant get him though, cause then we gotta come up with 12mth fill-in options.. and I dont think Ilias is signing for 12mths.. so then 2026 could be tricky with LKT.. but anyway.. in Flanno we trust..

Oh.. Flanno also mentioned they are likely to leave that 30th spot empty for emergency signings.. so I assume that means no Douieh.. or.. we are going to clear someone else off the books before the season begins.

Both Douehi and Ilias have 2025 contracts. Douehi was reportedly on $600k at the tiges in 2024 but has signed for $350k for 2025. However, tiges need spots and would probably release him for 2025 but we surely would not offer more money than that. No more than two years.

At Saints he might at least get first grade time.

According to the Souths forum, Ilias is on over $500k. Why on earth would he leave the rabbits when he is on that? Flanno won't give it to him.

The opinion at Souths is split between "he is a dud" and "he will come good". That is a bad sign.

On this page linked below it is said that he has no kicking, long or short, no speed, and can't organize, but can tackle.

Player - Lachlan Ilias

I’ve heard Lachlan will be at the dogs next season.

That’s definitely interesting considering they are publicly after Terrell May

Maybe someone is definitely being moved on ??

He said we r still shooting for a prop and a half.. those 2 slots are fine, its the final slot he wanted left open..

But yah for sure still more slots to open up, but that could take weeks/months..

When Flanno was asked whether Kyle would start the season at 7, he said he couldn't say. It is too early to say and we'll probably have someone by then. I'm thinking Illias is on his way and I think Lodge might be here as well. Atkinson to sign for 2026. These are just my thoughts.
