Steelers should name squads soon, players were informed a week or so ago.
Who did they sign from our Matts team?I note an article today on Zero Tackle about us (Stg SG Ball) signing the Manly half Charlie Boyle.
What hasn’t been noted anywhere is that the Melbourne Storm signed a local St.George District junior from the 2024 Harold Matt’s for 3 years. He was in our pathways system.
This is a team that won 2 games this year so one would think that he stood out & we would be keen to keep him. But somehow he thought his footy future as a young bloke was elsewhere.
It is mind boggling & a real concern in my view!
And we just signed Charlie Boyle, a standout from Manly SG Ball. This is just how it is. Everyone is poaching and taking a gamble on young talent. It is better or cheaper than waiting until they are stars. But we can't keep them all. And they won't all be stars. We just have to hope that our recruiters have a better eye for talent than the other sides.I note an article today on Zero Tackle about us (Stg SG Ball) signing the Manly half Charlie Boyle.

Rodwell has been at Roosters for 3 ys he never played for SteelersIn terms of young halves.. LKT and Hammoud came out of last years SG system, Reed is going around again.. hopefully a breakout year.. we lost Rodwell to the roosters last year, some have him as the big prospect lost.. but he would have been competing for that #7 jersey with Reed (and LKT @6 at the time).. so you can sort of see why some of them move on.. plus not many would turn down the Roosters anyway if they came knocking.
He would have competed with Reed to progress was what I was trying to say, didnt know it had been 3yrs though.Rodwell has been at Roosters for 3 ys he never played for Steelers
