2026 recruitment & retention

[Mark from Brisbane]

I like him but the fact he is in the top 3 or 4 forwards in our team says something about our pack

Yep , our Achilles Heel

Francis Molo isn’t training & wants an immediate release from Dragons. Do we still have a top 30 spot & would he add anything to this team? I think he’s a good player but inconsistent, on his day he intimidating enforcer that the team probably needs starting

 

[Bomb Voyage]

I wonder if there is a swap on the horizon, lodge for molo?

Not with that sort of attitude.

 

[Ohgeez]

Not with that sort of attitude.

I would usually agree but we’ve seen a few others asking for a release from that club in the last year, it could be a toxic environment to play in

Lodge isn't contracted to anyone so there's no swap to be done.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

You’re right , he wasn’t extended with us so there’d no one to swap.

I thought maybe Navren Willett? can't find anything on his background aside from coming from Taree, and haven't seen many pics of him so not sure why I thought that (!)

If from Taree pretty good chance he has indigenous background - big population up there including our great hooker Mal Cochrane

Mate, I'm only asking because they are such a talented, athletic people. I remember Andrew Walker tearing it up for us. Brian Kelly was great, too.

Watching a replay of our second last game in the season proper. I want someone to tell me which other one of our forwards can do this but Bully

Tent or Haumole can bust the line though they don’t possess that leg speed and acceleration like Bully, other than that maybe Navale.

Your video isn't working but I think I know the play you mean. Nevertheless he'll remain a benchie.

However!!

If he can ever come up with something remotely like this he'll be a regular starting forward and probably a Qld origin rep!

Hell no!! You always have a red flag over a guy who does that to a club.

There was big red flags when Lomax was doing the same last year because he didn’t want to play on the wing but he turned out having a alright season

We have 3 SERBIANS !!! 🐐🤣🤣

Hugo Hart on a train and trial deal for 2025, was one of the standout players for Nudgee College this year.

6. Hugo Hart (Nudgee)​

Hugo Hart’s speed and handling gave Nudgee an extra back, whether as a support player or finisher, but he was also a primary forward with his leg drive in contact that ensured Nudgee always had momentum at the breakdown when he tucked the ball under his arm.

The quickest forward in the competition, he was also a line out optioSo this is Union not League

So this is Nudgee RU not RL. But he is in our SG Ball team as a second rower and selected for the Souths trial.
