I hope it was at least winter.4’9”
Hopefully Ryles can do what Ciraldo has done spend year 1 weeding out the deadwood.A healthy squad brings in 2 -3 rookies/Nrl debutants a season.
And signs 2-3 new faces. It keeps things fresh.
Talagi is gone. Smart move for him. 3yrs at Panthers with quality development and imagine his next deal. Look at Crighton,Luai,Spencer etc. Compared to say Penisni. His dad being a coach knows it's a no brainer for his career/money in future.
What we do have thou is 500k spare. Ideally we shuffle a few more deck chairs before the season kicks off.
End of 2025 we have a war chest
Gutherson 850k
Rcg 750k
Sivo 500k
Lane 450k
Joe O 400k
Joe O might be extended but none others will.
I also do not see Matterson being here. And another head knock will medically retire him.
I hadn't realised thst Sivo and Lanes deal is a MO not PO and that RCG contract ends.
2026 Ryles hopefully gets the squad he wants.
Look at some of the backups at the 'better' clubs. Plenty of plodders. Marion Seve, Young Tonumaipea, Bronson Garlick ffs
give me those guys ahead of our Aldi Tago and Mulitalo anyday.

I’m pretty sure he would have made an appearance had he not of been injured. He is seriously fast, I’d say the quickest I’ve seen in years. Reminds me of Scott Donald, another ranga with serious wheels.Any word on Ethan Martyn? Shame his injuries

apparentlly back next week and contracted next year.
Brown basically put that rumour of him going to Perth to bed when he said he’d go there after his 20 year contract ends with us. I reckon he will activate that clause that he has well before round 10 next season to mitigate any uncertainty. That’s what a smart club would do.It's not as positive as you may think with Perth to be announced soon.
Arthur Miller Stephen I rate. He also is seriously quick. I haven’t seen Dick Penisini or ‘double dong’ (what an awful name he has) play.We need to get him on the protein shakes and add 5kgs. He is a roughie.
Do we have any other backs who may suprise?
Yes, I was more talking about our ability to attract and keep long term prospects, as many will be looking at short deals to tie in with Perth's recruitment.Brown basically put that rumour of him going to Perth to bed when he said he’d go there after his 20 year contract ends with us.

Hang on.
Tweedle has been excelling at 1 & 6 in Flegg. By all reports anyway.Arthur Miller Stephen I rate. He also is seriously quick. I haven’t seen Dick Penisini or double dick play.
