Redcliffe Dolphins recruitment targets

[roofromoz]

Tyrone May.

Pretty please.

But not Taylan. He looks like a Brian To'o Mk II and is a keeper... for now.

 

[roofromoz]

Toby Rudolph will be in their sites if they can find a way to snag him

And the leagues club is next door, for the beers and what else.

 

[roofromoz]

I'd actually pay for them to take May off our books... Like, literally, my own money.

I'm sure we could start a crowdfund page and would well exceed the target in a short period of time.

 

[roofromoz]

Dylan Edwards wouldn't be the worst signing.

All depends on whether he is seen in the long term plans, such as whether either Crichton or even Staines is seen as the long term fullback.

I can see them going hard for Walker or Walsh or both, even if it’s not for their first year.

Munster, B Smith, Kikau.

 

[The_Frog]

1. Manu
6. Munster / Cody
7. Hunt

I think we'd be crazy to let him leave.

 

[butchmcdick]

Please take Jordan Maclean a year early
and Valentine Holmes............

Can we throw in deardon too ?

 

[Cheese sandwich]

Can we throw in deardon too ?

You'll be begging for him to stay after a few games of The Chad

Edwards is the Wish version of Lachlan Coote

 

[Loose Cannon]

Darius to have a testimonial season under Senior.

 

[myrrh ken]

Use their location to get all the homesick qlders (including kiwis) they can get

 

[macavity]

Not sure why Ponga is considered a target. It seems to be based on the "Newcastle is poor" trope.

We are as cashed up as anyone, and Newie is a great place to live and play footy.

He has made it pretty clear he isn't leaving.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Poach the f**k out of Melbourne.

This is overly defensive for no reason.

I suspect the reason he is being mentioned, is that he is a QLD Origin player, his contract makes it possible and that Newie don't appear to be a genuine threat anytime soon.

It's all just pure speculation of course.

A broke club, a failed coal baron, a dodgy supercoach and 3 spoons in a row will do that

 

[nick87]

Ponga will go for sure
it's a fait accompli

 

[Bazal]

They'll almost certainly pick up some contracted players who wqant out or are on the outer. So it's hard to judge.

You're not gonna build a top side immediately, and how many QCup players will they want or need in the top 30? If it were me I'd say you need a quality half and hooker as your top targets. Then at least one gun back and a few top forwards. Just build a base?

I'm hoping as an Eels fan Mahoney would be wrapped up by then, but he'd be number one target along with Koroisau otherwise, plus Munster/Walker.

If you had to fill a top 13 with players off contract right now...vaguely trying to fit it in a cap

1-Matt Dufty
2-Alex Johnston
3-Joey Manu
4-Adam Keighran/Paul Momirovski or similar
5-Haze Dunster
6-Cody Walker/Cam Munster (rumours)
7-Chanel Harris-Tevita
8-Martin Taupau
9-Api Koroisau/Reed Mahoney
10-Braden Hamlin-Uele
11-Marata Niukore/Corey Harawira-Naera
12-Angus Crichton/Tariq Sims
13-Ryan Matterson/Alex Twal

There's plenty out there. Lots of them will re-sign with their clubs though

I think the stars are aligning for Nikorima. He wants to head back QLD and Warriors have Harris-Tavita, Johnson and now Taylor.

I Think Munster will be there marque man. Think the Storm are over him

Mahoney a smart signing and can see it happening.

Wouldn't be surprised if Taupau went as a experienced pro in the pack.

Think Dufty was thinking expansion team when he signed a deal.

1.Dufty
6.Munster
7.Nikorima
8.Taupau
9.Mahoney

Is a decent and realistic starting point to a side

Bit too strong I think
