Rumoured / Confirmed Signings

[Stake Removed]

We signed AFB Dec 2023.
Both Finucane and Hunt we had for 2025.
That money back into the cap, be interesting to see who stays or goes

Jack Williams announcement imminent I’d say….

Roy Sunt goooonnneee

Would definitely have kept him over Toby but anyway we move on

I think Toby gets a bit of an unfair run in here - I’ve not checked stats, so stand to be corrected, but to the naked eye, I think Toby (and OK) have been our best middles recently. Toby seems to be the one who takes the tough hit ups when we need them. He’s putting his hand up and having a good dig.

I think OK has the more upside in him.then Toby he is younger more games

Has less mistakes in him, will be great foil for AFB

OK is the breakout player of 2024.

Alongside Kayal Iro…

 

[DJDL]

Agreed with @Chimp Herb and Toby both have similar output and impact. And yes, Toby cops a lot of unfair criticism.

Also agree with @Stake Removed that her has more upside.

I don’t see room for them both long term, so based on that I’d be easing Toby out the door.

 

[shadowboxer]

I’d bag Toby plenty mainly due to the zany antics, podcasts etc - but since the bulldogs debacle he has been good, solid and in some ways a revelation… maybe my expectations are low, but BHU ain’t up to it

 

[chewsta]

I agree with you Shadow, Toby has been pretty good since he was dropped after the Dogs game.

There's an article in the SMH today about Royce potentially playing alongside Corey Horsburgh at the Tigers next year.

This quote from Royce, about his conversation with Benji, stood out:

He also spoke about me wanting to play more minutes, and I told him I’d earn every minute you give me.

I shakes me head at the pillock in charge conditioning him for 15-20 minute stints.

lol really stuck on this aren’t you

He’s our impact player, we have players that can play long minutes. Hunts job is to bring energy and change the game. His job is to play short stints.

He’s inconsistent in the minutes he gets so I question how effective he’ll be with longer minutes

 

[DJDL]

Hahaha, yep.

 

[CM67]

Apologies if this has been mentioned.

Three NRL teams confirm interest in uncontracted half

He is currently without a team after missing 2024 due to injury.

Don’t mind it , obviously for depth and would mean no more Puru.

Polard is a few years away and I assume goes to NSW cup at some point next year so this is a good gap filler till then

 

[Stake Removed]

Hunt can offload at wrong times he can go offload happy, can you imagine the combo of Benji/Morris clamping down on that.
Hunt is going to make $$ I think his football will regress there though

First game of the season he was balls - double offload reject.
I’m a fan but more happy for him that he will be a decent pay day than him leaving.
Seems like a decent fella

Yep. Gets a chance to provide for his family. Just kill some bastards in the finals for us before you leave, please.

I am happy decent pay as well.
I can just see Royce with Benji coaching.
Will be offload a thon

 

[txta2]

Toby's hit ups are definitely stronger but I'd like to see a bit more aggression in his defence

I believe Puru is staying.

I believe Puru is staying.

And we’re rumoured with Volkman ? Interesting
