2026 recruitment & retention

[CRPSI eagle]

I would go after Smoothy from the Broncos and release the Croc.

 

[Andrew..]

Isn't uncle Nick of Greek heritage?
I can't imagine the salary cap orditors tentacles would reach as far as a nice villa in Europe or the multitude of offshore investment opportunities a billionaire would have at his disposal.
Same with Crowe and Packer the possibilities are endless.
We've got a bloke who sold our home games to another club and left us with no Leagues Club to fall back on.

I don't always agree with what Bozo says but he's correct about us needing to get smarter.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

At least the LC have made some moves to get around that.

You have to wonder if none of the then LC board couldn’t see what these shysters were capable of.

And before that the LC sold some real estate to Delmege for a song, c.2003, on Victor Rd. At least they still own the land the Mercure Hotel sits on.

Uncle Nick is Greek
and Salary caps are meant to be challenged like anything else in life

The Manly Premiership Winning Peter Peters is also Greek
He makes me Proud of being a Greek Manly Supporter

Peter Peters the Great Manly Greek !

I mentioned Crichton from the rorters but I reckon if he goes anywhere, he will go back to the Rabids, and no thats not a mistake spelling...

 

[Chunkytuna]

Someone mentioned it before but I reckon Blaze Tulagi could be a great pick up for us.

 

[Highflier]

Wong from the Roosters would be good or Tupiloto those guys are too good to be plating NSW cup
?

On the topic of mobile forwards, Navale's try assist in reserve grade shows he may be worth giving a go sooner rather than later.

We shouldnt be playing Woods anymore. So if injuries hit and we need someone for 15min off the bench, give the kid a run.

It is a nice run to set up a try. The Jets 2nd and 4th tries straight though him a bit of a concern.

Id really like to see how he goes on an edge.

 

[stoodamire]

I’d throw everything towards getting Crichton.

All aboard the Gus Bus.

 

[JakeyB789]

100% agree on us going after Crichton and if this article is anything to go by, he's pretty keen to keep playing left second row where he would be a significant upgrade over Waddell/Burbo...

Crichton won't play second fiddle to Fifita at Roosters

Angus Crichton has made clear he isn't prepared to sit behind David Fifita at the Sydney Roosters in 2025, with the second-rower weighing up leaving the club.

+1 to Talagi as well. We're historically pretty good at picking off Parramatta juniors and this guy also fits the mould of what we currently need

 

[Tragic Eagle]

We've been too quiet in the market place. We need players of the quality of Angus Crighton and Talagi.

In another article I read, he said he wanted to go to a successful club. That could be a problem. It's been a while.

 

[MW66]

My understanding is that Talagi wants to play fullback. If that is the case we are zero chance. Crichton will want big $'s. We already have a marquee second rower in Ola on big $'s so I can't see that happening either. Unrealistic targets for mine.

 

[mickqld]

Doesn't matter who we try to recruit. $3.5 mil going into the goose, the tissue and the labrador will never allow us to assemble the team we need to win.

 

[maxta]

I think we need a hooker - a good sharp hooker
Creighton or Duncan
Others I like as backs -
Dene Mariner - gun player
Talagi
Storm backup FB - Faaso ? Looks sharp

 

[KNUCKLES]

One of Angus Chrichton or Jaydn Sua should be our main targets in my opinion. We should also have a look at the Warriors, they have a bunch of young forwards coming through the grades with big wraps on them, Zyon Maiu is one for eg.

 

[Captain Moondog]

According to The Mole Crichtons asked his manager to see what he's worth on the open market...not according to Crichton however...

The screen shot you’ve posted,is fake and the original story by The Mole re Crichton and his manager,was apparently in 2017
