    2025 recruitment & retention

    Both have been nothing but injured since being here mate. You sure that's what you want / need on an already very fragile team?

    I know we won up on the Gold Coast mate, but in my opinion, WE need a kind of bounce back game too, to show we have the mental fortitude to sure up our defense & attitude.

    That dispensation is up to XXXXX per club, not player I believe which is so dumb. So I'd you have 3 players, or 8 players , the max based on your figure is $300k for the club

    Yeah thought of him mate, but in place of who? Possibly Waddell, but ones a prop, the other backrower.

    If both parties are mutual mate, yeah you can do that (cap permitting). There's individual tax implications and things to consider.

    Be nice if Blacktown are on tele this week, too. Apart from Ben, is this our full strength team?

    Mate, not sure if you missed, but I agree, and wrote that Talau, Brooks, Brown have been great, Waddell good, Woods & Paulo not sure atm...BUT, facts are facts, they were discards or downgrades (i.e. getting reduced $$$) at other clubs???? In regards to the dead wood we let go. I actually rated...

    Isn't Peter Gentle (a former assistant coach at the Dragons) our recruitment "team" now. Used to be Cleal and Fulton combined. Honestly, forget the days of Ox, Lyon, Bell, Rodney & others. We are a bakehouse for unwanted and/or washed up players now.

    End of the day, we now start the next three seasons behind the eight-ball compared to all the other club's. Wasn't so long ago (2018 / 2019) we had $330k reduced from our salary cap each of those years for breaches, so it's not like we aren't used to it. For the record, we came 15th from 16...

    Turbo and origin in 24

    There is literally NO way Tom would put the club ahead of himself. None. Despite what we "think", he'll be in the mix, and will play if selected. He ain't no Jamie Lyon.

    I mean , my opinion and reality are generally two polar opposites, so probably doesn't matter what I think ;) But no, I don't think the club steps up at times, for many various reasons.

    I mean, there's a LOT more to unpack than just "that" when it comes to people's personal situation's, personalities, motivation's, mental health, families / friends etc @BOZO Mental health is a key driver in all these aspects, and mental health can also be affected by so much. He's a human...

    One thing I'll say, is put pressure on their kickers. I've noticed we've been giving space and time to opposition kickers this season. Actually, CAN you put pressure on the kickers anymore? Bleh, I don't even know anymore.
