2026 recruitment & retention

[Heckenberg]

I thought Aloiai's retirement would free up at least another $500k for 26, and as others have mentioned it wouldn't surprise me if Croker walks away for health reasons and he'd probably be on $300k.

300 seems modest for croker.

I think Kobe and reed mahoney would be fantastic. Jake to prop for first 30 with paseka, bully and a young prop. Simpkin and reed to share hooker role.

Mahoney is what we lack. Mentality wise. Does whatever to win. Grub. Love it. Too many nice lads in the team

Josh Papali’i is available,perfect age for Manly’s recruitment team,although he’s had minimal injuries of recent times

Mahoney has just signed for the Cowboys:

Canterbury hooker Reed Mahoney to join Cowboys on long-term deal

The Bulldogs have agreed to release Mahoney from the final year of his contract after giving him permission to test the market a couple of months ago.

I guess they need to replace Robson so that makes sense

Looks like the recruitment guys at the Cowboys have some brains and snapped up Mahoney since the number 9 spot is crucial. While at Manly we just buy cast off's from the Tigers.
