    Tommy Talau

    If we don't help him, after he did his ACL in a game for us, absolutely no one will want to join our club for a very long time. We need to give him a contract, if we are of any hope of signing anyone important in 2027.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    I keep seeing this $600k figure anywhere. He is not on $600k... Otherwise he would've made the DT Rich List over the past two years, which he didn't. I dont know how much he's on, but I feel he is worth ~450-500k. The problem is if the Bears offer more than that, and he's willing to uproot his...

    The Kieran Forum

    Foz talking about his career and his family on Fox post-game, made me feel much more, than I did at any point for DCE yesterday. It shouldn't be that way, but that's DCE's character for you. Such a great person Foran. As real as they come. Given what he went through, and how good he was upon...

    Jake Simpkin signed until 2026

    Given Croker is playing on (mind-boggling decision), I wouldn't mind seeing them get about a 30/50 split, in the way of Simpkin. Croker has some utility value, but I'd prefer him starting for his defensive tenacity. The problem with Croker is when he plays 80 minutes, which for whatever reason...

    Juniors Discussion Thread

    Yep, was in a little bit of a fit of rage when I wrote that. Recovering from an op and pain wasn't so good there. Funnily enough, when you're in a bunch of pain, the sugar hit of sacking everyone in the club, suddenly makes a lot of sense!

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Was in a different thread, but a reliable poster on here indicated that Talau rejected our offer. He wants to be a starter and is backing himself elsewhere.

    We also get Jake doing a presser every week. That's a gold mine and worth it just for Jake.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    I've heard a young gun at the Warriors, with NRL experience, is available for next year, in case we need some centre depth. Looks a bit like Lionel Ritchie.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Terrell May didn't become available until October last year, if I remember correctly. There will likely be another similar situation. I think the market will open up fairly soon, once finals is over with. I suspect we'll hear some more news around then.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    People bag the likes of Lodge, and Jazz, and I can't pretend that I haven't done the same myself at times, but these people are vastly better depth pieces than what we had just two or three years ago. In 2022 and 2023, we had the likes of Kurt De Luis, Morgan Boyle, and Aaron Woods all in the...

    It is a good point, that our spine players haven't been able to utilise Saab's strengths very effectively in the latter part of the year. We've probably seen him reach full pace, maybe once or twice in the past three months? That said, I don't know if Fogarty would be the one to unlock him. I...

    Caleb Navale

    57 minutes 11 runs, 95 metres 35 tackles, 3 misses 1 error For someone with very little NRL experience, and still getting adjusted to playing ~40 minutes at the top level, I thought it was a great performance. He had many momentum creating carries, with quick PTB's. I think he occupies the...

    Friday Farewells

    There's a few NRL clubs that could use his services at centre. The Warriors (especially with how injury prone Berry is), the Titans with Brian Kelley leaving, and possibly the Dragons. Another choice, is maybe the Roosters, so he can be with his GF Sergis.

    Interesting that Schoupp wasn't mentioned in the farewells, from the list people have on here. Not a bad depth piece, and hasn't had many opportunities with Talau here. Good hard worker, with a bit of versatility to also play backrow. Might get more of a shot next year. Wouldn't be surprised to...

    Agreed on Croker. He's not on much, and we really need another hooker in the squad besides Simpkin. Croker shouldn't be the first choice again, due to his frequent absences, but is needed as a backup. What I'm really annoyed by, is that we've picked Saab over Talau. This is the complete...

    If so, it's a risky move by him. If he has another injury-plagued season, he'll struggle to find a new team to pick him up. Also, no one mentioned Schoupp in their list? I assume that means we're keeping him... Which isn't great.

    Why on earth are we letting Talau walk? That's a baffling decision, especially if we expect Garrick to leave What exactly does this media guy even do? From what I can tell, Alfred Naupoto does most of the work on the socials, with two others doing the photography stuff. Does this nepo baby...

    Both Parker and Woods were marched around the field last year, I'd be surprised if there was nothing for Aloiai and Croker.

    The Daly Cherrygraph

    Probably the most on-point DCE game ever. Match-winning field goal, and a brilliant 40/10 kick early on. Also, the fastest ever try conceded, and he may as well have not been playing for half of the game. What a fitting ending! Thank you DCE for these 15 years and 352 games! It's been an...
