Rumours and Stuff

[Soren Lorenson]

But what was his height???

[King-Gutho94]

4’9”

I hope it was at least winter.

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.

Hopefully Ryles can do what Ciraldo has done spend year 1 weeding out the deadwood.

May be in for some more pain next year like Ciraldo had to go through last year.

But come out the other side in 2026 while Moses & Drown are at there peaks with a competitive squad around them.

A lot of Teams would crave to have the halves we have got we just need to have better or more motivated pieces around them and some luck.

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.

It's not as positive as you may think with Perth to be announced soon.

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.

apparentlly back next week and contracted next year.

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?

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.

Hang on.

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.

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.

Tweedle has been excelling at 1 & 6 in Flegg. By all reports anyway.
