And move on at least one of Lawrie and Rava (hopefully both eventually) to free up more spots as well as cap space.
Rava will have a lot of interest from Super League, you can see him ripping it up there. Can’t see any pathway for Lawrie. Our only hope is to train the shit out of him tell him no NRL this year and hope his pride asks for a release. I’m sure we would even chip in 150k a year.

Actually now you mention it.. there arent too many.. I think the dolphins sign a lot of their guys in advance.. all rly good players tho.., Herbie, Flegler, FinuFeuiaki, Tupou.. maybe Chrichton for dogs, Luai Tigers, the storm might do it with Pezet, Papa, did it with Fox back in the day..

But thats a handful out of hundreds upon hundreds of contracts... seems a lot more are being released early, certainly in our case we tend to go for bargains that clubs are looking to move on.

But specifically Atkinson.. if the sharks deny his early release, do we still want him for 2026? Or we do we just take an Ilias (or similar) and try our luck?
So much overpaying for substandard players. Seeing a market correction now.

Im happy to be in the vanguard of that for once.

If you’ve got a product no one ants to buy, then it’s worthless

Maybe Super League.

I mean, Ashton Sims was a superstar over there, so Blake might get a game somewhere.

500k a year for that many years is diabolically bad and a deal likely done at Dicey Riley’s when on the pliss with all the other good blokes to have a beer with.

Who controlled that deal? Who endorsed it?

Astounding.
