Exactly. Simonsson changed his tune when he was reminded that Lomax wouldn’t be here next year. He is the replacement, and the Lomax money goes toward keeping the youngsters that merkins always whinge about losing.
Just consider this when mentioning the cap, none of the youngsters are on the NRL cap, so would suggest there is some real wriggle room for 2026.

If we don’t have that, then real questions need to be asked. KK if he is a available its for 2027, so that shouldn’t be in the calculation, needs to be some resolution to signings as there are I believe 4 positions to fill, but 2 before round 1 at a minimum.

Understand Ryles wants a player who fits what he sees as the right fit for the group as an individual as well as a player. The winger Taulagi is of interest, but he is looking at returning to NZ. So wait and see.

I reckon Nanva has gone past Renisini
I just went and had a look at his highlights but he actually seems like quality.

And you guys watching training are saying he is big and strong and fast?

He also came up in an article about future stars.

Could this be kid be a smoky for a debut this year?

Agreed, and we know there must be some wiggle room because we just released Lomax. Prior to that I don't think there was much cap space at all, hence the desperation to get rid of Matterson and Simonsson.

I think some of these might be promotions. Maybe all of them.

I assume the Cowboys want to keep Taulagi for 2026 - it is already December - and any move for him will occur in 2027.

He won't have do much. He'll likely debut when Simonsson inevitably gets injured.

And that's a great thing about stats. You can use the timeline of events to prove your statement is 100% incorrect and fabricated falsely.

If we don't sign anyone then he will 100% debut.
