New recruits for 2023

So if we ditch Ben Hunt and look to bring in an experienced half to continue working alongside Jayden Sullivan, may I suggest Aidan Sezer?

He's a year younger than Hunt, has a better kicking game and some ability to game manage. He was a big reason for the Canberra Raiders reaching the grand final in 2019, he took the Leeds Rhinos to the grand final in Superleague last year.. and he kicks goals! Plus he's a Sydney boy so he won't be homesick for the stubbies, thongs and rednecks of queensland

What are we doing with the Cody Ramsay money for this year.
Quick to let players go but friggin slow buying players till only shit ones left.
It is concerning, no use of these funds. Then we have Kerr leaving and Hunt almost certainly gone and not a peep about any incoming players for this year or next. This years recruitment was below par and we appear to be on track to be worse for 2024. No surprise to see membership numbers trending down, sponsors jumping and multiple players asking for a release

We should throw everything at Sam Walker. At least he is young enough to improve himself and the whole team. Ben 'Sillik' Hunt is going to be 34 next year. Piss him off to start a banjo duet "Sillik and Hook" with his mate Griffin. They can write the theme song to the 'No' referendum together.

Reading on Fox Sports website this morning discussions around the Manly signing of Brooks and the resigning of Schuster, and the pressure it will put on their already under pressure salary cap.
The comment was also made that they may well have to tap 1, or possibly 2 players to be cap compliant for 2024.
This sounds like a great opportunity for Flanagan to pick up a name Manly forward, thinking after the talk late last year/earlier this year that Paseka would have to be well in our sights for 2024???

More like Brad Parker or Morgan Harper.

Throwing more names out there... Kurt Capewell? Played under Flanagan at Cronulla, Origin player, strong edge runner, and a leader (has captained the Broncos). Only signed until the end of 24 so might be attracted by a 3 year deal, and the Bronx might let him go with Riki and Piakura coming on
