If you caught my post earlier we are not even looking at Savala, my contact reached out to Dean Young as i got a whisper that we met with Savala and he agreed to sign.

He came back and said Flanagan will play 6 and Atkinso

Wait up, so we are looking for a half according to Watsford and we met with Savala and he agreed to sign, yet we are sticking with what we have?
Yep Drags thats pretty much how i read it as well...................
We cant go another Season with KF doing the Tackle 6 kicking ffs
You go hard for Hugo ...He and Atko take charge
Hugo decent kicking option
Kade isnt rushed and given full season in NSW Cup
If he kills it in 26 he comes in 27 and Atko moves to Lock or 1 and gives us plenty of versatility
Desperately need a Kicking and Organising Half for Next Year

Someone messaged me and said they heard we had met with Savala and he had signed! I got this checked with someone who has a direct line to Dean Young who then denied the rumour and went on to say we are not looking at him and that Flanagan will be 6 and Atkinson will be 7.

i think the extension of Reed, LKT and the acquisition of Atkinson is the clearest sign yet we have changed our position on going for a marquee half.

I would not say no to:
1. Atkinson
6. Savala
7. Reed
13. Cook
14. Kyle Flanagan

However, it does not appear that the club is moving in this direction at the moment. Not sure what we do with our best player of 2025, Gutherson.

Well I'm perplexed.

Reed is supposedly a long term prospect.

LTK had a whole season to prove himself and really didn't.

Atkinson was signed long before Watsford arrived.

Kyle proved he isn't a half.

We need a big boot.

We have no depth in the halves.

WTF are we doing???

Very little unfortunately however my contact is still confident that we have secured Murray Taulagi i am not of that same opinion personally but i can only tell you what i am being told. While no one is confirming it the word is it is basically a done deal.

FYI listen from 28:00 min. Isaac is not my source but i did reach out to him with my info regarding Taulagi and he said he had heard the same thing and that his sources are very confident also.

2027!!!???

Care factor zero as far as I'm concerned.

We need players now and waiting another year for a busted winger who will be injured and out of action for a season would hardly be anything to get excited about even if his name was Marky Mark let alone Tualangi.

Seriously, wtf are we doing???

It is what it is that's the reality of it.

He may be available early if the Cowboys want to use his money to pre pay contracts.

Everything i have seen online no one has said its an ACL rupture as such so fingers crossed.

Strange the Cowboys have not released a statement on the injury as yet if it was major season ending injury i am sure we know, generally that information comes out within 48 hours of the injury taking place.

We are not signing a ready made 7, period. If we were to, that would mean there is no spot for K.Flan in the 17. That’s just not going to happen.
I’ll also add, another option would be to sign a ready made 1 and play Gutho at 5/8. This won’t happen either. Any potential signing has a caveat that K.Flan must be in the 17 somewhere.

Maybe your contact can ask Dean ?
BTW thanks for the info

You mean like the Volkman situation?
